Once you see it, you can’t unsee it. It’s like seeing the Matrix. Or being forced to watch Bridget Jones’s Diary. It’s cringe-inducing every time, and it offends the sensibilities of all but the most sociopathic in our midst. Unfortunately, this constituency is growing, boosted by the narcissism of social media and the atomization of major cities.
Nevertheless, despite its repugnance, everyone should be forced to confront the stark superficiality of the Harris-Walz campaign. From its inception with its ersatz ‘Brat’ mimicry to its rallies, which are really just free concerts with a speech at the end, the Kamala campaign is essentially just a hologram of a political campaign.
