The Cultural Shift Beneath Our Feet

Who knew a disco song from 1978 called YMCA would sweep the nation in 2024?

Donald Trump’s election as the nation’s 47th president is more than a political event.

It is a cultural moment that sweeps away the heavy tyranny of woke ideologies and forever wars and broken borders and medical authoritarianism and replaces them with common sense principles like God, country, family, peace, prosperity and health.

Vice presidential candidate Tim Walz insisted during the Dem campaign that “no one can steal our joy.” Well, the movement called Make America Great Again just did.

This is a victory for principles over virtue signaling. And it is a defeat of the anti-Americanism the Left has peddled since at least the Obama administration.

This is also an answer to MAGA’s plea — which Donald Trump intuitively understood — to stop toppling our heroes of past, stop mutilating our childrens’ bodies, stop making everything about race, stop encouraging us all to be victims.

The most amazing thing of all is that instead of learning lessons from 2024, the Dem establishment and its cabal of censoring media propagandists is doubling down.

Jen Psaki, once President Biden’s press secretary, now a talking head on the failing MSNBC, insisted Monday that men playing in women’s sports is "“an obscure issue,” that girls are perfectly safe when biological men join their teams — “no threat to safety or fairness” — and that Trump “amplified voters’ bad-faith concerns.”

Keep it up, girlfriend. You just keep flying that transgender flag. The new, majority Republican Party prefers the American one. As American Thinker pointed out, Trump improved his vote share “among almost every demographic group that pollsters keep track of,” including the once-elusive young and Native Americans voters. He won 50% of those earning less than $100,000 a year, 65% of combat veterans, 21% percent of black men and 55% of Hispanic men.  In short, an epic fail for identity politics.

If the political class doesn’t understand it, corporations do.

A year after Elon Musk bought Twitter, major brand names stopped advertising on the Social Media platform. So many corporations did this — from General Mills to General Motors, from Disney to Pfizer — that Newsweek helpfully compiled a list. Elon’s response was unequivocal: “Go **** Yourselves.”

Now, one year, they are returning to X. Disney, Warner Brothers, IBM, all back.

In 2021 Quaker Oats, a division of Pepsi, changed the named of its iconic Aunt Jemima pancake mix and maple syrup. Citing concerns that its image looked too much like a black Mammy — it pivoted to calling it the Pearl Milling Company — the name of the company that originated the self-rising pancake mix in 1888.

In 2025, once Trump takes office and his co-star RFK Jr takes the reins at HHS, Quaker Oats will likely be thinking less of images and more of ingredients. According to IngedientInspector.org, Pearl Milling Co’s maple syrup is the #1 seller in the US. It contains four ingredients banned at Whole Foods, which labels them “unacceptable in food”: high fructose corn syrup, artificial flavor, sodium benzoate and sorbic acid.

Meanwhile at the Department of Government Efficiency (named DOGE, a play on a crypto currency), Elon and Vivek Ramaswamy are committed to deleting the Diversity Equity & Inclusion programs in every agency of the federal government. In this they are following the lead of colleges and corporations. Boeing, plagued by serious accidents and safety concerns, including a near-catastrophic blowout during an Alaska Airlines flight, is now dismantling its DEI division.

All this could save taxpayers millions of dollars. But of far more import is how the death of DEI (there’s a reason the Dems didn’t label it DIE!) will return us — as a country — to the pursuit of merit over equity, of excellence over grievance.

Amid this return to principles, the Dems seem to have descended into debauchery.

The campaign of Kamala Harris, who paid millions for little-clad rap singers to sing their suggestive and foul-mouthed songs, could have been X rated.

On Social Media are many aggrieved liberal women, crying or shaving their heads, threatening to withhold sex from men, because they voted for Trump.

And in the latest assault on normalcy, left-wing academics are arguing that pedophilia — having sexual feelings for children — is a natural orientation and should be accepted by society. This is a logical extension of their assault on the two genders, male and female, that God created and biology dictates.

A group called Gays Against Groomers is fighting this awful development, arguing that “the LGB and T community is being used as a shield to normalize pedophilia. We are saying NO. We refuse to be used to advance this evil woke agenda.”

Let’s us pray that Gays Against Groomers succeeds.

In the meanwhile, let’s keep dancing. After all, it’s Giddy Time.
