This Thanksgiving, Be Grateful American Women Are Waking Up To Woke Feminism

This year, Americans have much to be thankful for—especially the rights and freedoms women are reclaiming, even as the mainstream media keeps them hidden from view.

In the 2024 election cycle, Democrats spent over $175 million on Senate race ads focused on abortion, with tens of millions more in the presidential and down-ballot races. For decades, the party has polarized this deeply personal issue, using it as a wedge to divide Americans. Despite this massive investment in manipulation, women across the country are waking up to a fundamental truth: woke feminism is not the same as women’s rights.

For too long, fear-mongering and emotion-driven campaigns have misled women into believing their most critical right is access to abortion. Amplified by the media, influencer campaigns, and endless advertising, these tactics have created chaos and division—clouding the fact that most Americans are more united on this issue than these campaigns would have us believe.

Biblically, we are taught to choose between living in fear or hope. Fear and hope are powerful motivators, and Democrats have harnessed fear to steer women toward emotional, single-issue voting. They’ve painted a false narrative that rights are being stripped away, ignoring actual laws and policies. This strategy has succeeded in flipping races, even in areas where abortion access isn’t at risk, thanks to relentless messaging.

For decades, Democrats have targeted women specifically, playing to emotional instincts to manipulate their votes. They want us to believe that abortion defines our freedom and identity. They ignore the truth: that women are multifaceted, powerful decision-makers who care deeply about issues like the economy, education, public safety, and the future of our families. These are the real priorities for most women, and yet, the Left insists on reducing us to a single-issue bloc to exploit at election time.

The overturning of Roe v. Wade in 2022 gave Democrats an opportunity to weaponize this issue during the midterms, catching Republicans off guard. The results were sobering, but they also gave conservatives a wake-up call about the effectiveness of this emotional manipulation.

In 2024, women finally saw through the lies. Ads encouraging women to lie to their husbands about their votes backfired. The fact that 45% of women voted for President Trump reflects a historic narrowing of the gender gap — once thought insurmountable. Women rejected fear, spoke out, and refused to be pawns in a manipulative game.

This Thanksgiving, I encourage women to reject fear and embrace hope. As a mother of three young boys, I’m profoundly grateful for the direction our country is heading. It’s time to focus on the rights we are gaining and the brighter future that lies ahead.

I am grateful for an administration dedicated to protecting our children’s health, exposing corruption in our food and health systems, and prioritizing freedom for future generations. The Biden administration has failed to address these issues meaningfully, allowing powerful corporate interests to take precedence over the well-being of American families. That will change.

I am thankful for education leaders who support school choice, returning curriculums to basics, and empowering parents to raise children who can thrive in a global economy without compromising their values. I want my children to grow up in a nation where education builds confidence and opportunity—not a system that undermines families or imposes radical ideologies.

I am relieved that we will have a Department of Justice prosecuting criminals — not political opponents — and a Department of Homeland Security committed to ending illegal immigration. To our daughters, nieces, and sisters: be grateful for leaders who prioritize family safety, ensuring tragedies like the one experienced by Laken Riley’s family become a thing of the past.

I am grateful for leaders who will strengthen our military, so young men and women can serve with honor without the shadow of endless wars. I am thankful for competent economic leadership that will restore prosperity, making it possible to feed our families and achieve our dreams.

Above all, I am grateful for America itself. This great nation has the potential to thrive under America First principles, restoring unity and ensuring that the freedoms we cherish endure for generations.

This holiday season, let us choose hope over fear. Let us celebrate the rights we are gaining and reject the manipulation that seeks to divide us. We are not a nation to be controlled by fear, nor are we a people who accept lies in place of truth.

President Trump has promised to restore the Golden Age of America. This Thanksgiving, I am grateful for that vision—and for the rights and freedoms we will uphold to make it a reality.
