On the last night of the DNC, Eva Longoria told the crowd that she and Kamala Harris were able to see “beyond the horizon because our families supported our big dreams.” According to Longoria, and almost all who toe the party line, “As Americans, we’re all a part of one big family. Somos familia. As familia, we have to have each other’s back. We have to support each other’s dreams because Kamala’s success is our success.”
This common “family” refrain of the Democrat Party is not an accident. It is a rhetorical device used to endear voters, particularly those who feel like they’ve been abandoned or disappointed by their biological families — which is pretty much everyone.
Kamala is both “Momala” and your “cool aunt.”
