Conservatives' First Attack on Kamala Harris... Pronouns and Accessibility?

Within moments, several right-wing accounts posted the same video from 2022: a video of Vice President Harris sitting at a table and addressing a group of people, where she introduces herself by listing her pronouns and describing her clothing. She says, ā€œGood afternoon, I want to welcome these leaders for coming in and having this very important discussion about some of the most pressing issues of our time. I am Kamala Harris, my pronouns are she and her, and I am a woman sitting at the table wearing a blue suit.ā€

Somehow, in Republican minds being inclusive is a bad thing. While speaking to a "room full of disability rights leaders."

Conservatives' First Attack on Kamala Harris... Pronouns and Accessibility?

In the first hours after Kamala Harris was endorsed by President Joe Biden, the right scrambled for their first line of attack, settling on pronouns and accessibility.

Why are so many #Brits apathetic or so sure that their tiny lives are all there is to existence? Most are incapable of agapē (love-in-action) for anyone outside their circle of loved-ones. Egotistic and selfish to their very cores. Hence why #BREXIT came to pass and why all kinds of #hate, hatefulness & hate-crime are flourishing. #Fascism, or at least some kind of ultra-right-wing #totalitarianism is now the one-way street along which these once great isles are now travelling. #Fairness, #Justice, #Equity have all been sacrificed so that Brits do not have to think: think for themselves; distracting themselves at every opportunity so they do not need to think whatsoever. Unthinkingly, Brits have placed themselves in a gaol with nought but gruel to sustain us. I recall #AllegoryOfTheCave from #Platoā€™s #Republic. Wake up #Britain: let us be known as #GreatBritain once more!

ā€œ[T]he other inmates of the cave do not even desire to leave their prison, for they know no better life.ā€

I am one of the 2,000,000 disabled individuals who received zero #UKgov support.

Under the #Covid19 #pandemic #Lockdown, ā€œThe Government was so scared of what people might think, suddenly forced to live on so little, that they gave basic benefits a little boost during this time, by Ā£20 per week (Ā£1,040 a year), up from around Ā£70 in normal times. But they didnā€™t add this extra cash to old-school benefits. Two million #disabled people didnā€™t get anything extra. Determined to push people on to #UniversalCredit (#UC), and citing creaky old computer systems for the old-style benefits, the Government said it couldnā€™t be done.ā€

ā€œI am not claiming that #TV can save lives, but it can change temperatures, and those temperature changes in turn might save lives. #Empathy is a powerful tool in any argument, and disabled people need that empathy rather than #sympathy. People have been fighting these fights for a very long time, and frequently #disabled fights are isolated ones, ones where there is no grand #compassion from the population as a whole to hold the fight up.ā€
