If you ever wondered what an astroturf campaign looks like, check out the Kamala Harris bid for the White House. Everything about it -- including the so-called 'momentum' -- is all the media narrative. Most of it is stupid and not based in reality.
But sometimes it's downright hysterical.
Like this:
We have farm boys coming in with custom Kamala Harris shirts.

This writer's son has a summer job doing construction, landscaping, and home improvement. When you work in a physical job like that, it shows.
The closest this 'farm boy' has come to anything is the local farmer's market.

Nice catch, Hawkeye.
Farm boy?

Not with swizzle stick arms like that, he ain't.
Pretty sure a strong breeze would knock him over.
These are the same guys who think Tim Walz is an example of 'healthy masculinity' -- none of them couldn't bench press a gallon of milk.
There is no way noodle arms has ever seen a farm.

Not a chance.
Playing FarmVille on Facebook does not make him a “farm boy.”

Holy crackers, you people must think we’re dim.
They think we're stupid.
And the sad part is some people will buy it
a country boy you say?

the dewy hills of Northern Minnesota?
This writer has some far-Left family up in Northern Minnesota, so this made her chuckle.
The only farming this guy has ever done was in Minecraft.

We laughed out loud.
That kid has never thrown a hay bale in his life 😂

Not unless it's those little seasonal ones they sell at Hobby Lobby.

Those hands are softers than this writer's.
That’s no “farm boy.” That’s the breed we call “basement gamer.” https://t.co/xpsa6Ez9Yk

But that doesn't have the same political zing to it.
Dude lost his man card, indefinitely. https://t.co/1zZKUFxK2x

It's very generous of you to assume he had one in the first place.
The stickers are hilarious:

Leslie Ledogar - State at-large, Delaware Dems
Tom Carper - Democrat Senator since 2001
Charles Paradee - Democrat state senator
Lisa Blunt Rochester - Democrat in congress
Hillary Clinton - self-explanatory
This is the most astroturfy thing ever lol https://t.co/zN9k2bDOTw
Another keen-eyed reader who points out how fake this is. Like the rest of the Kamala campaign.
