Did Palin turn Democratic women to go GOP? It's all a strange argument to me.

Well, I'm going to be a little cautious about how I tell you, a woman of colour, to feel about this. I will say what I've learned from BLM over the past couple months is POC in the USA can certainly have a more difficult time and face more obstacles than I know I've faced in my life. If parents raising their non-white daughter can point to VP Kamala Harris as somebody they can aspire to be, that
could be a motivator for them. It is isn't for you and that's obviously fine, but come on, it's not weird for that to be helpful for somebody.
I know I used the prospect of Hillary being president as a conversation piece with my then 10-year-old daughter in 2016. Kids aren't stupid - she had already clued in that more men seemed to be in powerful positions than women. The idea of a woman being president definitely appealed to her.
