I’ve seen people on social media sneering about this — Oh, of course Drew Barrymore wants Kamala to be her mommy! — but Vice-President Harris is right. People choose leaders, including Presidents, because we know we can’t, as individuals, protect ourselves from every single threat. Trump voters want a ‘strong daddy’ to protect them; of course, they can’t (or don’t want to) tell the difference between a ‘strong daddy’ and an ‘abusive thug’, and Trump is only interested in protecting his own narcissistic self. Democrats have been branded as the Mommy Party… let’s be the fierce protector the country needs!
