It’s been almost two weeks since Trump won re-election and Republicans secured the trifecta of government. Some are saying, “It’s morning in America.” Others are mourning in America. Social media has been filled with meltdowns of epic proportions. Read Grace Gilmore's post-election reflection and olive branch to Democratic women.

The truth is, women had every chance to vote a woman into the highest office in the land. Yet, they passed — twice. They voted their hearts and, yes, their minds. They voted for someone they felt was true and unvarnished. They weren’t swayed by an obligatory gender loyalty; they were thinking critically. Because, spoiler alert, women on the Right (and quite a few on the Left) didn’t want just any woman — they wanted the right woman.

We’re not just excited for Trump. We’re excited for the dream team he’s bringing with him, the lineup of political outsiders and reformed insiders who are going to make America healthy, innovative, safe, and successful again. Trump and his team have rewritten the rules and crossed party lines in a way that feels real. As the dust settles and we prepare for Trump’s return, I find myself looking forward with optimism we haven’t felt in years.

The “gender divide” has been a topic of major conversation in this year’s election coverage. Polling, though often unreliable, has shown that most women voters will likely support Kamala Harris. The reason that around 53% of women back Harris, who has proven herself a political fraud, phony, and incompetent demagogue, may have something to do with her weaponization of gender.

In the latest October surprise, Kamala Harris-surrogate Mark Cuban recently appeared on The View and attacked conservative women as “weak and dumb,” claiming that they’re not truly “strong” or “intelligent.” This insult is not just Cuban’s opinion; it’s a clear reflection of the Democratic Party’s habitual disdain for women who refuse to align with their narrow, ideologically driven mold. Cuban was just saying the quiet part out loud. 

There is so much wrong with this ad. For starters, anyone who has voted knows we have a secret ballot. This isn’t big news, a reveal, or a change. This ad is less about sharing the news that you can privately vote for whichever candidate you want to vote for and more about promoting the idea that women who don’t vote for Harris are doing so solely because they are controlled by their husbands.

Dear Swing State Voter...

In the messy, ever-shifting world of American politics, just when you think you’ve neatly pegged everyone into red or blue boxes, someone throws a curveball. Enter the Democrats-turned-Trump-supporters— former liberal darlings now boldly wearing MAGA red. This isn’t just a blip; it's a full-blown realignment. From Tulsi Gabbard to Elon Musk and many others, the roster of political heavyweights making this leap grows longer by the day, shaking up party loyalties and blurring the lines we thought we knew.

Why the nation just fell in love with Trump’s vice presidential pick, J.D. Vance.

You may have expected Gen Z to lean a little left, right? TikTok trends, climate protests, and all that jazz. First-time voters for 2024? They’re showing up in droves with a clear-cut sense of conservatism, and, dare I say it, they’re loud and proud about it. For many, it’s about seeking consistency in a chaotic world. This generation grew up amidst political polarization, the pandemic, inflation fears, and social media shouting matches. For these voters, conservatism isn’t rebellion— it’s a return to something familiar, rooted, and reliable. 

In the home stretch of the 2024 race, Kamala Harris’s husband, Doug Emhoff, has been accused of abusing a former lover. His alleged problematic past undermines the media narrative that Emhoff is the torchbearer of a reformed masculinity. It also exposes Harris’s fraudulence as a supposed champion of women.

Swift is a siren that millions adore worldwide. She is talented, as a business woman at least. But I have yet to be convinced that during any phase of her rise to stardom has she ever been truly happy. But unlike Trump, I don’t hate her. I hate what she did. 

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr’s son recently shared a post of him and his daughter claiming that Dr. MLK Jr.’s granddaughter “has fewer rights today than the day she was born.” That is a complete lie.

Dawn Sturmon conducted a social experiment with her MAGA hat in multiple American cities. The reception was surprising, to say the least.

Brittany Mahomes, wife of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and friend of Taylor Swift, recently liked an Instagram post by former president Donald Trump. For that, she is receiving all kinds of negative feedback and speculation that her friendship with Swift might be in peril. It is a sign of our fraught political time that liking one post by the Republican presidential candidate to some people means the end of a friendship. It shouldn’t. Since some progressive women struggle with this concept, here are a few tips for how they can maintain a friendship once learning their friend is a conservative.

In his late August speech announcing his removal from the ballot in swing states, RFK Jr. said, “Ultimately, the only thing that will save our country and our children is if we choose to love our kids more than we hate each other.” While the Democratic party sees a successful future as one in which women can enjoy sexual freedom without consequences, the new Trump-RFK Jr. coalition wants to restore the health of the country, which includes helping mothers as they bring new life into the world.

JFK was a Democrat. But he was also a man of courage, strength, and fierce ability to question those in power. The only modern-day Kennedy embodying such qualities is his nephew.

We as women work hard to be taken seriously, especially in politics. When women fail on a grand stage, critics question the competency of all women. Progress for progress’s sake isn’t really progress at all. Bringing a woman into the oval office because she’s a woman and popular amongst dancers on TikTok is a treacherous move when our country is at stake. When we choose to install a woman because the optics are “good," we hinder all women.
