OPINION:
Ben Stiller, star of several comedy films such as “Zoolander” and “Meet the Fockers,” said in a videotaped interview with Nicholas Ballasy that he’s supporting Kamala Harris for president because “it’s time for change.”
It’s a case of fiction meeting reality. Stiller played a moron in “Zoolander.” And now — enter real life. Stiller was roundly mocked on social media; as he should be.
Still, the idea of an incumbent running for office on a message of change and reform has become a particular hilarity of the Democrat Party in recent times. That is to say: Stiller’s not the only one.
“Kamala Harris Confronted on Changes in Her Policy Positions,” Newsweek wrote just this week.
That’s polite.
A more-to-truth headline might read, ‘Kamala Harris flip-flopping on policy like a dying fish.’ She’s racing so fast to flee the very positions she’s taken both as senator and as partner-in-crime to President Biden’s tremendously ineffective and destructive White House policies, she’s giving Jesse Owens a run for his record — ba dum dum dum. “A new way forward!” — her campaign hilariously screams, hoping nobody notices they’re trying to run from themselves.
Seriously — she’s hardly a serious candidate.
But it’s not her fault.
The Democrat Party has screwed up America so badly in the last few years, they have zero successes to tout. Of course they want to campaign on change.
There’s Afghanistan and all those dead bodies, not to mention the now-muzzled women victims because of the Taliban.
There’s the economy, so tanked by inflation there are whole movements online dedicated to comparing grocery lists of the same items that are shopped today versus four years ago, when Donald Trump led — and reporting the shocking results of three times higher, four times higher, even more times higher food prices.
There are LGBTQ flags flying from the White House — LGBGTQ loons serving in federal agencies like Health and Human Services — LGBTQ nut jobs working with Democrats in teachers’ unions to strip parents of their rights to keep Johnny from becoming a Jane.
There are illegals pouring across America’s borders and being treated to more services and tax-paid benefits than citizens.
And there’s Duck and Dodge, the duo in the Democrat Party, that is to say Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, joining forces for their one media interview on CNN that was predicted to go so badly they had to go as a team — one to distract from another — and it had to be taped, not live.
“7 Takeaways From Harris’s First Major Interview,” The New York Times blasted in a headline. Don’t bother to read the story.
Rather, cue the laugh track here on the part where Harris said, “I think the most important and most significant aspect of my policy perspective and decisions is my values have not changed.”
Oh, Kamala. Joy truly is your message to the people. Laugh and the world laughs with you. Or as the vice president who likes to pretend she has nothing to do with current policy and instead promises change and hope and more change might put it: “With laughter, we imagine what can be, unburdened by what has been.”
Sing it, sistah.
So much material; so little time.
So many Democrats; so little IQ.
It’s inconceivable there are so many voters in America on the left who could be duped by the lies of Team Harris.
The somber part is this: After nearly four years of a brain-dead president, the best that Democrats have to offer is — more of the same? Yes, it’s absurd. But it’s also a national security issue and an international threat.
America cannot afford to have another Democrat joke as president. It’s time for real change — meaning no more Democrats in the White House.
