The Democratic National Convention is in full swing and, unfortunately, so is the Regime Media. The Regime sycophants at MSNBC, consumed by their collective desire to imprint the Harris candidacy into the American psyche, have now proclaimed Harris to be “the future”.
With Joe Biden vanishing in the rear-view mirror, the “Hope and Change” nostalgia has been ramped up to 20. Watch as MSNBC’s non-Maddow 9PM host proclaims Obama and Harris to represent “the future”:
Per MSNBC's Alex Wagner, Barack Obama and Kamala Harris represent the future, and are "a powerful, distressing idea if you are part of the white patriarchy like Donald Trump and his supporters..." pic.twitter.com/AFYpiLfr7R

It is unclear to me how a president who termed out 8 years ago is “the future”, but MSNBC is running that in the hopes of projecting Harris as the next avatar of Obamism. This stuff is the coverage equivalent of the creepy Shepard Fairey poster. Everything is a contrived callback to “Hope and Change”.
This includes the incessant evocation of the “coalition of the ascendant” that would permanently transform American politics upon elevating Obama to power. Wagner does that here, per her usual racial minimalism:
WAGNER: So nobody's ready to write the epigraph for the Trump years, but I do think, you know, it's a powerful suggestion, right? That Barack Obama is the future. That Kamala Harris is the future and that Donald Trump is the past. And indeed, that demographic reality lies at the core of so much of Donald Trump's power over his audience, right? The idea that a multicultural inclusive America is actually the road we're heading down, and that the sort of white patriarchal society that allowed Donald Trump to profiteer as much as he has is going into the rear view, right? That's a powerful, distressing idea if you are part of the white patriarchy like Donald Trump.
It is important to remember that this is someone who found looked at JD Vance’s desire to bury his family in the family plot as an instance of white supremacy. Now, in the service of that same racial essentialism, Wagner pitches Obama and Harris as the antidote to that white supremacy. The Regime Media have reverted to the Hope and Change playbook.

MSNBC DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION
8/20/24
6:11 PM
JOY REID: Because earlier, Nicolle Wallace- our wonderful friend Nicolle Wallace was talking about the ways in which the Harris/Walz ticket has kind of shoved Donald Trump off of the stage, and I think about the Obamas in that same way, right? You know, Barack Obama is the guy who embarrassed Donald Trump at a White House Correspondents Dinner, so much so, that Donald Trump vowed to become president and his presidency is seen in so many ways as, you know, rejectionism against Obama. The anger and rage that this man had been a black president for two terms produced Donald Trump's presidency. You know, what are you hearing and what are people saying about the idea that maybe Kamala Harris has sort of ended the Trump Era, right? I mean, because there- there is that sort of sense that this era was a hot fire that can't continue to burn forever and that maybe the answer though is -- to it is Kamala Harris, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, this gargantuan teamwork of the Democratic Party.
ALEX WAGNER: Well. I mean, I’ve heard some con- people are very articulate in their enthusiasm but they always end it with, you know, “We have work ahead. It's going to be a tight election.” People understand that this- you know, Kamala Harris hasn't run away with this by a long shot, right? So nobody's ready to write the epigraph for the Trump years, but I do think, you know, it's a powerful suggestion, right? That Barack Obama is the future. That Kamala Harris is the future and that Donald Trump is the past. And indeed, that demographic reality lies at the core of so much of Donald Trump's power over his audience, right? The idea that a multicultural inclusive America is actually the road we're heading down, and that the sort of white patriarchal society that allowed Donald Trump to profiteer as much as he has is going into the rear view, right? That's a powerful, distressing idea if you are part of the white patriarchy like Donald Trump. And supporters who see change, who see people like Barack Obama, who see people like Kamala Harris, you know, multi-ethnic leaders, multi-racial progressive leaders, and are scared of that vision, right? The idea that this might be the norm. And that Trumpism and MAGAism are the things of yesterday, veering their heads for one last gasp? Man, that's powerful stuff. And I think, you know, one of the great things about the way Kamala Harris and Barack Obama have handled this is they don't sort of allude to that reality with fear or with triumphalism, but they say we can all be part of the future no matter the color of our skin is. And I think, indeed tonight is going to be the classic Obama -- I'm not sure he's going to say there's no red America, no blue America, there's only the United States of America, but I think that idea that we're all in it together? That “ism" is going to be something we hear about because Kamala Harris is a direct manifestation of that, and their friendship was forged over that reality.
