Wait, I need more.
Whats the background here?
Peopleand the collective internet culturehave become obsessed with Harris as a meme.
This content can also be viewed on the site itoriginatesfrom.
So, the brat of it all.
If youre lost, a brief explainer.
Last month Charli XCX released an album calledBratthat has basically taken over the internet and pop culture.
And in the way the internet does, the two forces began to combine.

This brings us to Sunday night.
And then Charli tweeted simply kamala IS brat.
And so, since you are now educated, you now understand what she meant.
What does the internet think?
Obsessed, of course.
Kamala has never been so brat.
Why should I care?
- But now, like, Ireallydont think Im exaggerating.
Pop culture is culture, and culture really is just the collective output of society.
We dont vote in a vacuum.
It could have an impact.
But forvarious reasonsthe tide has turned.
*I still have no actual evidence of this.
Has Harris responded to all this?
Yes, a presidential campaign that understands internet culture and can engage with it, what a concept!
(Sorry,Dark Brandon, but no.)
And they even nodded to the coconut tree, with the description providing context.
A lot of other Democratic politicians are leaning into the memes as well.
Hawaii senator Brian Schatz climbed a coconut tree for content.
And Illinois governor J.B. Pritzker responded to rumors he would challenge Harris with this.
Wow, am I laughing about politics for the first time since like 2015?
Is that…joy?
Nature is…healing?
Am I going to care about or remember this in two weeks?
Yes, and Im manifesting a Charli x Kamala appearance before November.
