While her actual remarks were pretty short, one moment from the speech \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2024/07/25/g-s1-13327/kamala-harris-coconut-tree-meme-context-unburdened-in-the-context\">has taken over the internet in the past few days\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As she explained the importance of providing opportunities not just to young people but to everyone around them, Harris shared something that her mother used to tell her:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She would say to us, ‘I don’t know what’s wrong with you young people. You think you just fell out of a coconut tree?’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/evil_female/status/1755948453228683675\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris took a moment to laugh and then went on to explain what her mother meant: “You exist in the context of all in which you live and what came before you.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This moment soon made its way to X (formerly Twitter) where it circulated for months in different meme pages — \u003ca href=\"https://x.com/TimesNewJohann/status/1790462287083409561\">usually without the original context\u003c/a> — where users resonated with Harris’ humor and the quirkiness of the “coconut tree” expression.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the clip — now a meme — gained wider recognition this week when Harris became the likely Democratic nominee on Monday \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2024/07/22/g-s1-12804/kamala-harris-delegates-nominee-dnc-vote\">after receiving the support of enough party delegates to secure the nomination\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unsurprisingly, right-leaning pages have used the clip, along with \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/libsoftiktok/status/1815112666924699853\">other videos that show Harris laughing\u003c/a>, to argue that she shouldn’t be president. But many Democrats \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2024/07/25/g-s1-13327/kamala-harris-coconut-tree-meme-context-unburdened-in-the-context\">have embraced the coconut tree imagery\u003c/a> and on TikTok and Instagram, young people are making viral videos that \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/p/C93K1pVBMUh/\">remix the coconut tree clip with songs from Charli XCX’s latest album, \u003cem>brat\u003c/em>\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s already \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/politics/story/2024-07-24/kamala-harris-memes-coconut-brat-summer\">a plethora of explainers out there\u003c/a> that \u003ca href=\"https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2024/07/24/entertainment/memes-kamala-harris\">try to explain the meaning behind the different coconut tree memes\u003c/a>, along with \u003ca href=\"https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/internet/kamala-harris-brat-meaning-mean-slang-charli-xcx-what-does-hq-rcna163026\">what links Harris with Charli XCX\u003c/a> in the first place. But in the spirit of the original speech that started it all, we wanted to understand the context of all in which these memes live in and what came before them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I spoke with two other KQED journalists with deep experience in covering both politics and Gen Z culture — politics correspondent \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/author/mlagos\">Marisa Lagos\u003c/a> and host of The California Report \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/author/mbolanos\">Madi Bolaños\u003c/a> — to talk about how the state of the 2024 race, Harris’ political trajectory and questions of both gender and race brought us some of these viral Harris memes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This conversation has been edited for length and clarity.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Marisa, \u003c/strong>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11996837/who-is-kamala-harris-a-look-back-at-kqeds-coverage\">\u003cstrong>you’ve covered Kamala Harris for a long time\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cstrong>. Does this image of Harris laughing at herself, being genuine in these moments, square up with what you’ve seen of her over the years?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Lagos:\u003c/strong> Totally. She, in my experience as a reporter, was at her best, off the record when she wasn’t having to think about what she was saying because she is legitimately funny and warm. And I think that’s a hard thing sometimes, especially as a woman of color.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Let’s put a very fine point on it: The reason that Republicans have used her laughing and her persona to attack her [comes with the] subtext that she’s not serious enough to be a leader. It’s very clearly pointed as a dog whistle at some of her identity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the flip side, that is what makes her a good politician. I have seen her in a room with people, and she’s really good at connecting, it’s retail politics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But even for people like me who have covered her for two decades, this seems way more authentic than the “serious Kamala Harris buttoned-down” politician trope. And let’s be real, she has to push [that forward] in certain situations. It is a serious job.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Bolaños:\u003c/strong> Marisa, to your point that Republicans have used her laughter to argue that she’s not serious. That’s what Gen Z loves about her. The word right now for Gen Z is ‘unserious.’ … Gen Z is eating that up for breakfast, lunch and dinner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They really are big fans of how carefree she is. It’s interesting that what they try to use against her is what’s working in her favor right now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/Annie_Wu_22/status/1815470696719593909\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Let’s talk about “seriousness” more. Part of Donald Trump’s appeal to his supporters is that he does not behave like other politicians. He can say anything he wants and that makes him a man of the people. On the other hand, female politicians who have sought the presidency, like Hillary Clinton and Elizabeth Warren, worked a lot on presenting themselves as very serious politicians to appeal to voters.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>And now, we’re seeing certain voters respond positively to a female politician who embraces her humor and her more authentic self. Could we be seeing a shift in what’s expected of women in politics?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Lagos:\u003c/strong> I hope so. God, I hope so. I do think it’s too early to know because she’d have to win for that shift to really be realized.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If she can win, I do think that this opens new doors and avenues for female leaders to be themselves and not have to just fit in a box. What we’ve seen historically, I feel, is women being expected to act like men.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s women like Nancy Pelosi that have turned some of that on their head, especially just in the way she presents herself. She’s a very feminine person. And I think that in itself is unique because Kamala does not dress the way that Pelosi does. She’s been a prosecutor. She wore dark suits. That’s been her vibe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She loosened it up on the campaign trail four years ago. She’s got that look with the blazer, jeans and Converse tennis shoes going on, which, I will say, is one of my looks when I’m out reporting. I tell people, “This is my Kamala look,” and they know what I mean.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Bolaños:\u003c/strong> Regardless if she wins or not, she is changing the culture of how you can present yourself in these spaces and also engaging a lot of people … who otherwise wouldn’t have cared very much.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My cousin who’s 18 and has \u003cem>never \u003c/em>talked to me about politics randomly, no context, sent me \u003ca href=\"https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTNunEq6o/\">a TikTok, featuring the Charli XCX song ‘Girl, so confusing version with lorde’\u003c/a> and it has different clips of Kamala and Hillary Clinton.

Does this image of Harris laughing at herself, being genuine in these moments, square up with what you’ve seen of her over the years?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Lagos:\u003c/strong> Totally. She, in my experience as a reporter, was at her best, off the record when she wasn’t having to think about what she was saying because she is legitimately funny and warm. And I think that’s a hard thing sometimes, especially as a woman of color.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Let’s put a very fine point on it: The reason that Republicans have used her laughing and her persona to attack her [comes with the] subtext that she’s not serious enough to be a leader. It’s very clearly pointed as a dog whistle at some of her identity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the flip side, that is what makes her a good politician. I have seen her in a room with people, and she’s really good at connecting, it’s retail politics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But even for people like me who have covered her for two decades, this seems way more authentic than the “serious Kamala Harris buttoned-down” politician trope. And let’s be real, she has to push [that forward] in certain situations. It is a serious job.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Bolaños:\u003c/strong> Marisa, to your point that Republicans have used her laughter to argue that she’s not serious. That’s what Gen Z loves about her. The word right now for Gen Z is ‘unserious.’ … Gen Z is eating that up for breakfast, lunch and dinner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They really are big fans of how carefree she is.

Part of Donald Trump’s appeal to his supporters is that he does not behave like other politicians. He can say anything he wants and that makes him a man of the people. On the other hand, female politicians who have sought the presidency, like Hillary Clinton and Elizabeth Warren, worked a lot on presenting themselves as very serious politicians to appeal to voters.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>And now, we’re seeing certain voters respond positively to a female politician who embraces her humor and her more authentic self.

I do think it’s too early to know because she’d have to win for that shift to really be realized.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If she can win, I do think that this opens new doors and avenues for female leaders to be themselves and not have to just fit in a box. What we’ve seen historically, I feel, is women being expected to act like men.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s women like Nancy Pelosi that have turned some of that on their head, especially just in the way she presents herself. She’s a very feminine person. And I think that in itself is unique because Kamala does not dress the way that Pelosi does. She’s been a prosecutor. She wore dark suits. That’s been her vibe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She loosened it up on the campaign trail four years ago. She’s got that look with the blazer, jeans and Converse tennis shoes going on, which, I will say, is one of my looks when I’m out reporting. I tell people, “This is my Kamala look,” and they know what I mean.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Bolaños:\u003c/strong> Regardless if she wins or not, she is changing the culture of how you can present yourself in these spaces and also engaging a lot of people … who otherwise wouldn’t have cared very much.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My cousin who’s 18 and has \u003cem>never \u003c/em>talked to me about politics randomly, no context, sent me \u003ca href=\"https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTNunEq6o/\">a TikTok, featuring the Charli XCX song ‘Girl, so confusing version with lorde’\u003c/a> and it has different clips of Kamala and Hillary Clinton.

The various social media platforms are spaces for people to have open, honest conversations, even if they’re idiots, or maliciously minded, or willing to lie. \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We always call upon social media platforms to limit as much hate and extremist rhetoric on their platforms as possible. Confusion and legitimate questions are harder to police. I mean, what’s the first thing I did when I wanted to know what was going on after the assassination attempt? I went on social media. That’s very natural. I understand why people want to ask questions and throw theories out there. I don’t know that the public generally understands how damaging that is when it’s coming from millions and millions of people all at once, from influencers to the average user.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That is all the more reason for the user to be responsible. By that, I mean don’t reshare every new theory you see. Make sure that something is actually credible before you reshare it. Maybe you don’t share anything at all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Over the weekend, people started coming to me with questions because I’m a reporter. My first reaction was — really my honest reaction — was just, “I don’t know. We don’t know yet.” \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>But these days, we can all do what many of the major papers were doing, which is, you know, review the video and listen to people who are experts in Secret Service-style protection of political candidates and attempt to come up with a working theory. You’re not a bad person for trying to parse out what’s happening.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>But also, maybe you need to just question yourself if your go-to, gut reaction is that there must be some way in which this incident fits into that \u003c/strong>\u003ca href=\"https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=unified%20field%20theory\">\u003cstrong>unified field theory\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cstrong> of politics you have. In other words, question yourself. \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It sounds conspiratorial to use the phrase “Question everything.” But what I mean is, have a healthy amount of suspicion when the first thing you see is the most salacious thing. Right? The “power of pause” cannot be overstated. Normalize saying, “I don’t know.” But also, have patience because, with a case as serious as this, we’re going to have to understand that the [gunman’s] motive may never be clear. It’s just too early to say.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Are we likely to see one or more conspiracy theories metastasize before the election? Precisely because we’re in a contested election?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In sports, they say, “There’s a lot of game left.” I would use that analogy here. There’s a lot that could change between now and November. Journalists will have their work cut out for them this coming election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If there is a motive or an ideology [that explains] the shooter, that could also change everything. If there is no information about the shooter, then you can kind of tell whatever story you want to tell about who he was. Which is also dangerous. So, the ask is always for more answers, and the hope is always for a clear conclusion. But the expectation is that it might be somewhere in the middle and that the false and misleading narratives will pick up on whatever that is.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not all shocking, earth-shattering things are the product of a conspiracy.

The various social media platforms are spaces for people to have open, honest conversations, even if they’re idiots, or maliciously minded, or willing to lie. \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We always call upon social media platforms to limit as much hate and extremist rhetoric on their platforms as possible. Confusion and legitimate questions are harder to police. I mean, what’s the first thing I did when I wanted to know what was going on after the assassination attempt? I went on social media. That’s very natural. I understand why people want to ask questions and throw theories out there. I don’t know that the public generally understands how damaging that is when it’s coming from millions and millions of people all at once, from influencers to the average user.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That is all the more reason for the user to be responsible. By that, I mean don’t reshare every new theory you see. Make sure that something is actually credible before you reshare it. Maybe you don’t share anything at all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Over the weekend, people started coming to me with questions because I’m a reporter. My first reaction was — really my honest reaction — was just, “I don’t know. We don’t know yet.” \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>But these days, we can all do what many of the major papers were doing, which is, you know, review the video and listen to people who are experts in Secret Service-style protection of political candidates and attempt to come up with a working theory. You’re not a bad person for trying to parse out what’s happening.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>But also, maybe you need to just question yourself if your go-to, gut reaction is that there must be some way in which this incident fits into that \u003c/strong>\u003ca href=\"https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=unified%20field%20theory\">\u003cstrong>unified field theory\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cstrong> of politics you have. In other words, question yourself. \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It sounds conspiratorial to use the phrase “Question everything.” But what I mean is, have a healthy amount of suspicion when the first thing you see is the most salacious thing. Right? The “power of pause” cannot be overstated. Normalize saying, “I don’t know.” But also, have patience because, with a case as serious as this, we’re going to have to understand that the [gunman’s] motive may never be clear. It’s just too early to say.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Are we likely to see one or more conspiracy theories metastasize before the election? Precisely because we’re in a contested election?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In sports, they say, “There’s a lot of game left.” I would use that analogy here. There’s a lot that could change between now and November. Journalists will have their work cut out for them this coming election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If there is a motive or an ideology [that explains] the shooter, that could also change everything. If there is no information about the shooter, then you can kind of tell whatever story you want to tell about who he was. Which is also dangerous. So, the ask is always for more answers, and the hope is always for a clear conclusion. But the expectation is that it might be somewhere in the middle and that the false and misleading narratives will pick up on whatever that is.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not all shocking, earth-shattering things are the product of a conspiracy. This is just … history.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"floatright"},"numeric":["floatright"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/news/11996066/why-conspiracy-theories-spread-on-the-left-and-right-after-the-assassination-attempt-on-trump","authors":["251"],"categories":["news_8","news_13"],"tags":["news_1323","news_34019","news_3428","news_353"],"featImg":"news_11996124","label":"news"},"news_11995771":{"type":"posts","id":"news_11995771","meta":{"index":"posts_1716263798","site":"news","id":"11995771","score":null,"sort":[1721163077000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"heres-who-funded-the-controversial-recount-for-congress-in-silicon-valley","title":"Here's Who Funded the Controversial Recount for Congress in Silicon Valley","publishDate":1721163077,"format":"standard","headTitle":"Here’s Who Funded the Controversial Recount for Congress in Silicon Valley | KQED","labelTerm":{"site":"news"},"content":"\u003cp>A high-profile recount \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11984495/evan-low-takes-second-place-in-silicon-valley-congressional-race-after-recount-breaks-historic-tie\">that broke a tie in a Silicon Valley congressional election\u003c/a> was paid for by allies of former San José Mayor Sam Liccardo, according to new fundraising reports made public late Monday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Liccardo will face Assemblymember Evan Low in a head-to-head general election matchup after the recount broke \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11981809/in-extraordinary-tie-evan-low-and-joe-simitian-both-advance-in-race-for-silicon-valley-house-seat\">a deadlock for second place\u003c/a> in the primary between Low and Santa Clara County Supervisor Joe Simitian.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Recount organizers have denied any collaboration with Liccardo, stating they initiated the new count to ensure a proper tally and prevent a three-candidate general election in which only a plurality of votes would be needed to win the seat.

The adversaries then work through low-level attacks to escalate their ability to get closer and closer to critical parts of a business. And then, once they’re there, they’ll deploy malware, which locks down a system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s a type of attack that locks down critical parts of a business. And what attackers were really trying to do here is they’re trying to put pressure on the business to pay an extortion in order to restore services. Unfortunately, we’ve seen these types of attacks become more popular among criminals.
