"The most notable, and perhaps most effective, ad of the 2024 presidential campaign featured footage of the Democratic nominee, Kamala Harris, voicing her support for gender-affirming treatment for inmates in federal prisons. "Kamala is for they/ them. President Trump is for you," the narrator concluded. The spot was a crisp, 30-second encapsulation of one of the key Republican talking points of the cycle: that "wokeness" was sweeping the nation and upending established ways of life, and that Donald Trump would fight against it."
"During his recent interview with The New York Times, the president harshly criticized the legislation of the 1960s, which included the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (which bans employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin) and the Voting Rights Act of 1965 (which bans racial discrimination in voting). "White people were very badly treated where they did extremely well, and they were not invited to go into a university or a college.""
A 30-second campaign ad used footage of Kamala Harris supporting gender-affirming treatment for federal inmates and contrasted her with Donald Trump. The ad framed 'wokeness' as sweeping the nation and promised Trump would oppose it. Trump expressed interest not only in curbing perceived excesses but in rolling back foundational civil-rights protections from the 1960s, including the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act. He described those laws as causing "reverse discrimination" and said white Americans had been unfairly harmed. A Pew Research Center poll found 62 percent of white Republicans believe white people face some or a lot of discrimination.
