Kamala Harris had everything going for her. She was able to walk and talk. She had remarkable accomplishments like being a woman and a minority. She had a reasonable facsimile of a human laugh.
So, it seemed she would easily win against Donald Trump, whom everyone hates and thinks is bad. But that didn’t happen. Instead, Trump won handily. So what happened?
Harris has a new book out trying to answer that. Unfortunately, her political analysis isn’t as good as her running for president, and I don’t think it really gets to the heart of the matter.
Really, the reason Kamala Harris lost comes down to one simple thing:
*** PAYWALL STARTS HERE ***
*** ACTUALLY, I DECIDED NOT TO PAYWALL THIS — IGNORE ***
A voodoo curse.
Trump put a voodoo curse on Kamala Harris to confuse and discombulate her, which is why she did so poorly.
I know what you’re thinking: Wouldn’t Trump be racist against voodoo magic?
Well, Trump is not a racist. And he has, in fact, been a voodoo priest for many years. This fact just doesn’t get talked about a lot because it doesn’t have to do with business.
And I know what else you’re thinking: Doesn’t that make the election results of 2024 illegitimate because of voodoo magic?
Well, that’s a common misconception. If you check all the election rules, nowhere does it say you can’t use voodoo magic to affect the election outcome. It also doesn’t say the candidate can’t be a dog (unrelated to this, but it comes up).
Still, this does make one wonder how the election of 2024 would have been different without the voodoo magic. Kamala Harris probably would have lost by much less.
