The Democrats are hearkening back to their segregationist roots with targeted campaigning aimed at specific groups.
It looks like they might even be micro-targeting.

Is it real? Is it trolling or satire?
Who can tell in 2024?
Some of the groups are very real, though they look like satire — the “White Dudes for Harris” is a prime example.
THE NEXT BIG CALL: WHITE DUDES FOR HARRIS. This group of men is stepping up. Inspired by, and following in the footsteps of Black women, it’s time for white men to get 100% engaged and make sure Kamala Harris is elected as our next President.

I like how they (intentionally or not) used color symbolically in that hat profile pic — putting the black at the front to represent Harris as a “person of color” and embracing their own beta, white male(ish)-ness at the back.
You know that group is gonna look like this:

Another group is the “Women for Harris” group. That’s a gathering of the Triple Ws — woke, white women.
A short clip of the Zoom call for that group was shared online and boy, howdy was it something else!
The keynote speaker, Arielle Fodor, was (of course) a woke former teacher who was introduced as “Mrs. Frazzle” who would “gentle-parent” the Konclave of Karens through the next hundred or so days.
And “gentle-parent” she did.
Despite literally “shaking”, her little address focused on, like, the super important way white women need to come and support the BIPOC (black, Indigenous, and people of color) women to become election influencers.
Here are the privileged, woke, white women to the rescue!
I know what you’re thinking, and yes, it does indeed get more cringe.
“Bipoc women have tapped us in as white women to step up, listen, and get involved this election season, this is a really important time and we all need to use our voices and influence for the greater good,” said Fodor in a manner that is most suited to a kindergarten classroom.
This woman has 1.5 million followers and I can’t for the life of me imagine how she could get an audience of that size while speaking with that patronizing voice — but then, I’m not a giant Lib who binge-watches The View and thinks that anyone in that Coven makes a lick of sense.
Fodor continued to talk about navigating the “toxicity” of engaging with politics online. She actually admits that it sometimes comes from her side.
You ain’t lyin’, lady!
Some of the worst people online are the screechy, woke, white Libs who insist that you see the world with the broken lens that they view it with.
She goes on to warn white women to “use their privilege” to change the system and remember to always take a backseat to non-white individuals.
“Don’t make it about yourself. As white women, we need to use our privilege to make positive changes,” she said. “If you find yourself talking over or speaking for BIPOC individuals, or God forbid, correcting them, just take a beat and instead we can put our listening ears on.”
To paraphrase, she’s telling the Triple Ws to know their place — ahead of white men, but behind BIPOC men and far behind BIPOC women, and ends the guidance by infantilizing her audience.
[As an aside, that deference never happens in my online political interactions. Instead, I’m told that I’m “voting against my interests” as a “woman of color” or some such thing. It’s so bloody racist.]
Fodor continues to push the racist critical race theory crapola with her cheery-yet-grating sing-song-y voice.
“So, do learn from and amplify the voices of those who have been historically marginalized and use the privilege you have in order to push for systemic change,” said Fodor. “As white people, we have a lot to learn and unlearn. So do check your blind spots.”
I promise you, it’s even worse when you watch it:
This “Women for Harris” Zoom call is my nightmare fuel.

Guys, I think we actually found the Childless Cat-Lady Forum.
They really are “Karens for Kamala.” I really hate that the name Karen has been used as a racial slur like that, but dang — it actually works in this instance.
These are the influencers that the Democrats are relying on to get their message out.
Thanks, but no thanks.
