Those are 2 quotes I've happened to blog in the last 24 hours — see here (Robert Downey Jr.) and here (RFK Jr.).
Have minds fragmented? Are we dreamily struggling to pull them together with alliteration and the notion that splintered things really do cohere? This mess in my mind is... a mosaic... a montage....
You know, we've been laughing at Kamala Harris's way of expressing herself, but she's not the only one.
"Culture is — it is a reflection of our moment in our time, right? And in present culture is the way we express how we’re feeling about the moment. And we should always find times to express how we feel about the moment that is a reflection of joy, because as you know, it comes in the morning. We have to find ways to also express the way we feel about the moment in terms of just having language and a connection to how people are experiencing life. And I think about it in that way too."
Here's how I feel about the moment in terms of just having language: I think we're losing it. Language. It's slipping away. Fragmenting. Into moments. Moments of montage and mosaic. Mwah!

one of my favs from Kamala:
"It is time for us to do what we have been doing. And that time is every day."
-Kamala Harris
I'm still tripping the light fandago and turning cross wheels cross the floor. And that's just my morning stretch routine and inner wake up conversation. The 2020's have nuthin' on the 1960's as far as mush mouthedness goes. Did I make myself clear there?.
@Althouse: "Here's how I feel about the moment in terms of just having language: I think we're losing it. Language. It's slipping away."
I agree in general, as the Smartphone era took away most complex thought. We used to speak in sentences and paragraphs, but now just fragments and grunts. Movies and fiction used to have an Act I setup, a dramatic arc, and a resolution. Now...it's mostly just emotions and grunts and superheroes smashing everything into fragments.
But, Kamala is just being Kamala here. She's a woozy affirmative action hire who slept her way to power and was never up to the VP job. The VP job may not be worth a warm bucket of spit...but Kamala's language was never more than an ounce of warm spit.
Is she truly an idiot? Is she suffering from a neurological disability that scrambles her thoughts and her ability to form coherent statements that actually convey discernible meaning? Or is she purposely spewing constant word salad for inscrutable reasons?
Coke makes you talk like that. In fragments. Like lines. Snorted.
The tag "Kamala comedy" seems particularly rueful.
Well, it's like, you know...
"You speak to me
In sign language"
“I think we’re losing it.”
Almost. I think we’ve lost it. Totally different. No “open present” in which a process, susceptible perhaps to interruption or reversal, is ongoing.
No gerunds, we’re done.
How did we get here? Numbers, I think. There is a critical mass of morons in the population; a number not known to us but still present; the point of failure; and we have passed it, like a switch-box on a train-track we traveled over at oh-dark-thirty and fast asleep, now far behind us as we wake confused to an alien landscape.
Like tears in rain....
"Here's how I feel about the moment in terms of just having language: I think we're losing it."
I understand the feeling. But "we" are not. Harris ain't "us." Not yet, anyway.
But the woollyy obfuscation, the "loss" of language, is itself a way to veil reality. It serves to mystify the subjects of prog rule.
"Is she truly an idiot? Is she suffering from a neurological disability that scrambles her thoughts and her ability to form coherent statements that actually convey discernible meaning? Or is she purposely spewing constant word salad for inscrutable reasons?"
She is us. We're just suffering from a neurological disability that keeps us from seeing ourselves in her.
She may be YOU, but she sure as hell isn't ME!!!
It worked for Chauncey Gardner, and she's going beyond Chauncey Gardner, who was at least saying sentences that made sense within his view of the world and that we all can understand easily once we have the key (that he's just talking about the mundane small world of his garden and the television). Harris is saying things that have no real point of reference and that are not plain sentences but disconnected phrases.
Isn't she saying that we need to go forward, unburdened by what has been?
Like your boss says: "Hey, you turned in you assignment late?"
And you reply: "We need to go forward, unburdened by what has been".
Aka - lets forget the past. Blank slate.
Does it really matter if Kam harris can't talk well?
She'll be the lesser of two evils. In 2024.
"she is us"
Speak for yourself.
On Gutfeld! they turn her manic babblings into Art by simply adding a bongo drum accompaniment.
Consider the concept that Kamala is a very anxious woman because she knows that she is way over her head.
Much of her babbling is due to anxiety. She cackles when the heavy anxiolytics kick in.
"Harris is saying things that have no real point of reference and that are not plain sentences but disconnected phrases."
We are the ones we've been waiting for
- Barack Obama, February 5, 2008.
After Biden gets reelected, she will be the following president.
So you may as well get used to her.
