Do you ever wonder how differently things could have turned out if Kamala Harris had won the 2024 election? The far left media outlet ‘Salon’ has you covered.
This weekend, just in time for America’s 250th celebrations, the folks at Salon published a piece imagining how different this Independence Day would be if Harris was now commander in chief.
They did not intend for this piece to be funny, but boy, is it ever.
We read this article so that you wouldn’t have to:
A Fourth of July in Kamala Harris’ USA
Since Donald Trump has turned our nation’s 250th anniversary into a celebration of himself — complete with grift — let’s imagine a Fourth of July that might have been.
In this alternate history, the 2024 presidential election ended differently. Vice President Kamala Harris was elected the 47th president of the United States. Two years later, the nation is still marked by political polarization and economic uncertainty. On July 4, 2026, America celebrates 250 years since the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
Perhaps the most striking feature of this alternate 2026 is tonal. The central theme of Harris’ speech at the 2024 Democratic National Convention was “Take Back the Flag,” a message she had touted since her days serving as a senator from California. Since her closing argument during that campaign emphasized “turning the page” on division, it’s safe to say that unity in the name of patriotism would be her paramount goal during the festivities.
It is absurd, right out of the gate. The piece talks about Harris ‘taking back the flag’ and patriotism at a time when poll after poll shows Democrats can’t even muster the pride to celebrate America’s 250th this year. Do they really think this would be any different with President Kamala? Please.
This part is especially funny:
Back in Washington, D.C., the atmosphere feels less like a presidential production and more like a national family reunion. Instead of the protective fortification of concrete barriers and razor wire, the National Mall is marked by a sprawling, deliberate openness.
Do they think no one remembers the Democrats putting up barriers all over Washington, DC after the 2020 election? It looked like Eastern Europe during the Cold War.
