Lately, Kamala Harris has been appearing on social media surrounded by coconuts and ‘painted’ green. The coconuts come from a phrase Harris said last year: “Do you think you just fell out of a coconut tree?”What was once used to criticize her, has now become a battle cry for her followers, who have launched T-shirts of the ‘Coconut Tree Team’Even a Democratic senator from Hawaii has climbed a coconut tree in solidarity.

The colour green is another emerging trend, thanks to young people who call Kamala a ‘Brat’, a term that is curiously now seen as something positive. British artist Charli XCX, whose album cover ‘Brat’ is green, catapulted this term with a tweet that said: “Kamala IS BRAT”. Since then, the networks have been flooded with memes with Kamala dancing and enjoying herself, symbolising the irreverence, a bit of shamelessness and spontaneousness, characteristic of a ‘brat girl’.

Comparisons to Trump have not been long in coming, with videos contrasting the two’s dance styles, highlighting Harris’s ‘flow’Even the ubiquitous Simpsons memes have made an appearance, reminding viewers that when Lisa became president, she dressed exactly like Kamala when she was sworn in.

To top it off, Beyoncé has given up her song ‘Freedom’ for Harris’ campaign, cementing her status as a cross-generational pop icon in a matter of hours.
