Democrats Need To Keep Women Angry To Win Elections

First, it was AOC’s egg-freezing stunt. Then Lindsay Clancy. Then the “Cornell 7.” And finally, the Shane Gillis SNL monologue debacle. It must be election season. No one knows how to manipulate the media to fire up emotionally dysregulated leftist women better than Democrats. Normally, these stories wouldn’t receive the attention they have over the past three months. After all, there are many tales of immorality, horrors, and inappropriate but honest comedians weekly. As another comedian, Jimmy Carr, commented on the Gillis bit on SNL: “Shane Gillis? If that’s what passes as controversy, great. … I say worse things than that every day.” So why these stories, and why now? Because Democrats and their media allies are masters at spinning a narrative that allows them to swoop in and save women from the supposed horrible injustices they face every day. For many, it is difficult to fathom the mind of a leftist woman who ostensibly suffers such abuse. After all, there is not much women haven’t accomplished in the past 150 years. They wanted the right to vote and own property and got it. They wanted to work and earn equal pay, and they got it. They wanted the right to kill their own babies and got it. They wanted to be treated like men, and they certainly got that. In fact, women got more than equal. More women than men are enrolled in higher education. Women currently drive the growth in most medical fields. This summer, women made headlines as they comprised nearly all gains in the labor market. Yet still, after all this equality, some women are very, very upset. They have to be. Leftist women are one of Democrats’ largest and most consistent voting blocks, particularly among the younger cohort. Young women ages 18-29 increasingly support Democrat candidates and causes. Most of these votes are contingent upon what Democrats like to call “reproductive rights,” also known as killing babies in the womb. Women are a convenient political tool for a Democrat agenda that is increasingly embracing socialism and communism. “As early as the 1890s, the socialists figured out that women were more politically effective if they were angry and invented consciousness raising, the precursor to today’s woke,” says Carrie Gress, author of the book Something Wicked: Why Feminism Can’t Be Fused with Christianity. The daily news feed, filled with ice cube-throwing women who go on scream retreats, is a constant reminder that emotional indoctrination is alive and well. “Rather than trying to bring peace and healing to women, many ideological efforts are intentionally stirring women up for their own political gains,” Gress says. Democrats must energize and prod these women to get to the polls to defeat the misogynists and rapists of the evil patriarchy of Western civilization. They lost many of them in 2024 over ridiculous transgender propaganda and concerns from MAHA moms. Enter all the headline-grabbing stories the media can find about bad women doing bad things yet still claiming victimhood. There are women who want to be set free from any moral or biological demand that limits their freedoms. And then there are women who understand that their freedom only resides within the boundaries of moral constraints. We can’t have it both ways. One side will win the hearts and minds of American women. Democrats, with the help of corporate media and the entertainment industry, are determined to ensure it is them. That’s why we see the left dredge up narratives that support the first kind of woman, particularly during election cycles. I don’t expect leftist women to suddenly wake up to the reality that they are pawns in a political game, despite the fact that their ideology seems to increasingly lead to misery and mental instability — a life riddled with psych meds and rage-filled social media rants. I do hope more conservative women are not swayed by leftist arguments that run completely contradictory to their faith and values, as we saw with AOC’s announcement to freeze her eggs. The political right is not immune from moral depravity. But if Republicans hope to ever win a political election again, they must convince women that empowerment does not come from acting like a nutjob or removing all boundaries. It lies in the dignity and responsibility of embracing sacrifice, restraint, and the biological differences that dictate our lives.
