This catch-phrase, spoken by her as a kind of talisman, is so over-used by her that its lost for most of us any ability to generate satire, since it is self-mocking when SHE says it at this point. The sad thing is that this phrase is NOT nonsensical. There is a deeply evil message that is masquerading in this pseudo-wisdom.

"I can imagine what can be, unburdened by what has been" when you boil it down means what is imagined and what desired doesn't have to reference anything that frames our culture. No law, no constitution, no tradition, no cultural norm, no moral norms, NOTHING has to frame what we imagine. This is Marxist ideology. Destabilize the family, and attack the culture and create dependency on the only island of stability you can see, the authoritarian regime..
Being burdened by what has been is the greatest gift we live with. We should keep mocking this tom-foolery, and we should speak against it.
I am NOT a kamala supporter by any means, but obviously the way they mean it is as unburdened by the mistakes/racism/oppression etc of the past, kind of like "some men see things as they are, I see things that never were and asky why not".... etc. but it's so meaningless that it can be easily abused and interpreted however the speaker - or the listener - wants. Laughable as a stock phrase by her.
I agree that they want us, or assume that we will, think they mean "unburdened by the mistakes/racism/Oppression" and when I first heard it that is where my mind went.
When I think about it though, I have concluded that we MUST be burdened by the mistakes/racism/oppression. If we are not, we won't learn from them. In a sense, the post modern aggrievement culture with its perpetual victimhood persists because these "victims" have to be unburdened by the past, since their current experience is NOTHING like their ancestors experiences. The oppression of Jim Crow, and trauma of slavery , the demoralization of living through a pogrom. We will be right back there if we are unburdened by the realities of this very real history. So we need to be burdened by all that. We must learn from our mistakes.
IF we don't , we become easy prey for the authoritarian regimes.

Agree; could also be phrased as, "unburdened by reality." Wishful thinking is the basis of marxism, which is why it never works.
Big Brother was a big fan of the unburdening, too.
They want an eternal NOW, where the party is always right. Same tune, different players.
alternatively I can imagine the future, unburdened by the lessons of history. True wisdom - NOT
