    I, too, have been atomically dissecting that meme to find the racism, and you know I won’t rule out that when the GOP makes a joke about that actually is what they mean, but it appears to be a thing fans of Harris also meme about.

    She was telling a folksy story of growing up and she recounted how her mother had asked if the kids had just fallen out of a coconut tree. It’s a cute alternative to “were you born yesterday” or something like that.

    I dunno, it has big “what doesn’t everyone say ‘porch monkeys?’” energy.

      That’s an adorable anecdote. They are attacking her with that?

      Imagine being the guy maintaining all of those ChatGPT/Twitter bots, waiting on instructions and desperately trying to get some kind of attack going.

        It’s adorable and the whole quote is about society as well. Heaven forbid we have a president who understands some philosophy.

      I was apparently born in a barn, according to my mother. Now that I’m old I can be heard yelling “Close the door!”
