Just a few weeks ago, Kamala Harris was all the rage as Democrat elites particularly those in the media and Hollywood fawned over her every move.
But now she’s been all but erased from the national consciousness.
And Taylor Swift’s mind-blowing reaction to Donald Trump’s victory has Kamala Harris crying over spilled milk.
Shake it off, Kamala
Democrats and their media allies thought they could propel Vice President Kamala Harris to the Presidency by simply running a campaign based exclusively on “vibes” and propaganda.
A vital part of their strategy centered around getting as many celebrity endorsements as possible – even if they had to pay many of them millions of dollars to “support” their preferred candidate, as various reports have suggested.
Pop star Taylor Swift in particular was viewed as an election-altering force who could personally hand Kamala the Presidency with a simple endorsement.
But as it turns out, neither Swift nor the combined influence of virtually the entire celebrity class could convince the majority of Americans to ignore facts, logic, and their lived experiences to vote for another puppet of the ruling class oligarchs.
Nevertheless, to this day, Democrats still can’t seem to wrap their heads around why their strategy didn’t work, especially when they had so many celebrity endorsements.
As a matter of fact, MSNBC’s Joy Reid recently made a total fool out of herself by declaring that the Kamala campaign was a “historic, flawlessly run campaign,” specifically because she garnered celebrity endorsements from Queen Latifah – who hasn’t been relevant in at least a decade – Taylor Swift, and Beyonce.
“I mean, this really was a historic, flawlessly run campaign,” Reid ranted. “She had – Queen Latifah never endorses anyone. She came out and endorsed her. You know, I mean, she had every prominent celebrity voice. She had Taylor Swift, she had the Swifties, she had the B-hive. You could not have run a better campaign in that short period of time. And I think that’s still true.”
Of course, the idea that the Kamala campaign couldn’t have possibly been run any better when she suffered the worst defeat for any Democrat Presidential candidate since the 1980s is laugh-out-loud funny.
And quite frankly, it’s the perfect example of the Democrat delusion that ultimately led to the Kamala campaign being more disconnected from reality than any Presidential campaign in American history.
Hollywood goes dark
Regardless, after hailing Kamala as one of the greatest Presidential candidates the world has ever seen, Democrats’ army of celebrity endorsers have gone totally silent post-election.
And while it would be one of the greatest things that could possibly happen to the nation, it’s sadly not because they’ve all followed through on their “threats” to flee the country in the wake of President-elect Donald Trump’s victory.
As Achilles Public Relations founder Doug Eldridge explained, although there are likely many factors contributing to the post-election silence of Democrat celebrities like Swift – such as the fact that the campaign is no longer paying them to speak out – at the end of the day, they’re likely just making a business decision.
“There’s a variety of reasons why that might be the case,” Eldridge explained. “Strategically speaking, had it been closer, you might be hearing more fervent rebukes and calls to ‘resist’ from the celebrity class. However, Trump dominated the Electoral College and won the popular vote. The voters, which is a synonym for ‘fans’ in this case, spoke loud and clear. Partisan celebs might have lost the election, but they cannot afford to isolate and lose their fans as well.”
Swift endorsed Kamala immediately following the lone Presidential debate between the Democrat Presidential candidate and Trump, hailing her as a “warrior” and “steady-handed, gifted leader.”
But unlike the likes of Bon Jovi, Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, and Christina Aguilera, she passed on millions of dollars to perform an Election Eve concert for the Kamala campaign.
That decision coupled with her post-election silence seems to indicate that like Eldridge postulated, she’s made a business decision to distance herself from the Kamala campaign in an effort to avoid losing any of the hundreds of millions of dollars she’s making each year.
“Not everything in life requires a prepared statement or a fully carved-out position,” Eldridge stated. “Simply allowing the results to settle, the fans to calm and the daily routine to progress, is itself a reasonable, deescalating response.”
No matter how you slice it, the silence of pro-Kamala celebrities underscores just how clear-cut Trump’s historic victory truly was.
And it may possibly indicate that even the most prominent celebrities are beginning to recognize that normal Americans simply couldn’t care less about their political opinions.
