Crossing the Aisle: When Liberals Become Trumpers
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.
Smitten with Vance
Why the nation just fell in love with Trump’s vice presidential pick, J.D. Vance.
Voting Right: A Political Awakening among First-Time Voters
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.
The Second Gentleman Is No Gentleman
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.
Taylor Swift Should Have Said Nothing
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.
From Victims to Victors under the Trump Administration
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.
Hat Trick: A Social Experiment with the MAGA Hat in St. Louis, Los Angeles, New York City, Chicago, and Dallas
Dawn Sturmon conducted a social experiment with her MAGA hat in multiple American cities. The reception was surprising, to say the least.
Brittany Mahomes’ MAGA Moment Should Not Be Friendship-Ending for Taylor Swift
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.
Party of Life
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.
RFK Jr. Is the Only True Kennedy Left
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.
Kamala Harris as President Would Be a Setback for Women
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.
Meet Tim Walz, Kamala Harris’s VP Pick
He runs cover for arsonists, he humiliates female students by putting feminine products in men’s bathrooms, he supports a surveillance state, he rubber stamped the chemical castration of kids. Introducing “moderate midwestern dad” Tim Walz.
A New Time for Choosing
Harris, like Hillary Clinton, does not deserve to be the anointed one by default. Those who agree are not ‘misogynist’ or racist. Harris may relish the spotlight and capitalize on a media moment, but her fake stardom does not make her fit to lead our nation.
We Can’t Let the Left Erase Female Olympians
If we continue to allow men to compete against women, they will take opportunities away from, and potentially threaten the lives of, future female Olympians. Some may scoff and say, “That will never happen.” But it just did. After all the strides in women's sports over the last few decades, we are regressing quickly. When little girls across the U.S. watch Simone Biles compete this summer and think, “I want to be just like her,” let's ensure they have a fighting chance.
Kamala’s Brat-ification Is Not the Win Her Campaign Thinks It Is
Kamala lacks the one major quality that makes brat a “cool” archetype by Gen Z standards. Gen Z is pretty good at identifying a fraud when they see one. Let’s hope with the kamala-is-brat phenomenon, they have a good few laughs, and then they let it die on the internet archive where it belongs. Read Victoria Marshall’s piece on how Kamala, a clumsy authoritarian, is going full cringe and rebranding herself into a meme for the sake of securing power.
Gen Z’s Turn to Trump
The political tide of Gen Z is changing. Some of the youngest Americans heading to the ballot box this November are not followers of "woke." New young conservative voters are emerging, readying to back Donald Trump in 2024. Why are some cohorts of Gen Z considering Trump? Hint: It has something to do with $6 cereal boxes, $90k college tuition, and the fear that they'll be doomed to be forever renters.
DEI Hires Have Gone Too Far
There have been many shocking discoveries about the attempted assassination of former president Trump. But one of the most widely acknowledged failings was in Trump’s immediate security detail. Now that Secret Service director Kimberly Cheatle has resigned, the public has gained some accountability from the floundering agency. But DEI is still corrupting it. Read to learn how:
J.D. Vance Proves Trump’s America First Legacy Is Here To Stay
Why did Trump choose J.D. Vance as his VP? He was no strategic pick. He was not chosen to court a specific voting bloc (suburban moms) or to secure a purple state. With the Biden campaign unraveling and the DNC in chaos, along with the sympathy garnered from the horrific assassination attempt on Saturday, Trump didn’t need that electoral boost. Trump chose Vance because he completes what he started.
