This summer, the elitist political class, led by out-of-touch Democrats, fell for shallow, meaningless gimmicks.
One standout example of tone-deafness was the “brat summer” meme adopted by the Kamala Harris campaign, tying themselves to a British pop star’s latest album. The mainstream liberal media ate it up, painting Harris as a fun-loving, edgy candidate. However, it only highlighted the disconnect between the political establishment and the average American.
Charli XCX, the artist behind the album, described a “brat” as someone who is “messy,” “likes to party,” and “says dumb things.” Does this sound like a leader worthy of the White House? No, it sounds like a spoiled child with no substance or responsibility. But the media ran with it, desperate to create a positive narrative for a deeply flawed candidate.
The truth is, Harris and the Democratic Party are incapable of connecting with the American people because they are too busy living in their own echo chambers. They rely on flashy social media campaigns and shallow buzzwords to convince the young and tech-savvy of their platform. But the reality is, they have nothing of substance to offer.
This “brat summer” was just another example of how out of touch Democrats are with the rest of the country. While affluent white liberals may have been caught up in the hype, the rest of America was left rolling their eyes at the absurdity. Meanwhile, the media continued to prop up Harris and her campaign, ignoring her lack of qualifications and dubious track record.

As the 2024 election came to a close, it was clear that the supposed “joy” and “good vibes” of “brat summer” did not translate into votes. Instead, the American people saw through the facade and chose a president who understood their struggles and fought for their interests.
In the end, “brat summer” was just another example of the liberal media’s desperate attempts to prop up a failed candidate. The American people saw through the charade, and in November they made their decision clear.
