A vote for common-sense

Reading the mainstream media, you’d think the election of Donald Trump as the 47th President of the United States was the beginning of Armageddon.

A leading Sydney columnist, blasted America for “passing on its second opportunity to elect a female president.”

“It cannot be proven by any poll, but we all suspect it—America was not going to elect a female president and not a female president of colour,” the columnist wrote.

It’s strange that she should use the term female—a noun that can apply to any species capable of producing offspring, rather than woman—a noun reserved specifically for human beings.

The term female implies that biological sex determines gender, rather than suggest people can make up their gender themselves, depending on how they feel on any particular day.

But I digress. Because, like most of us, she is using the terms female and women interchangeably. In fact, her column is titled: The women didn’t win it.

Well, say what you like about the Republican voters…they might not have elected a woman, but at least they can tell you what a woman is.

They can also tell you what a woman is not; that being a man squeezed into a woman’s swimming costume muscling their way towards the wall, or a man stripped bare in a women’s change room because she/her has a right to be in there. Or a male rapist calling himself Isla, being let loose in a women’s prison.

The columnist went on to call the Trump campaign an “open-carry licence to misogyny and contempt for femininity.”

Sure, Trump himself has said some pretty awful things about women. But could there be any bigger contempt for femininity than the Democrats themselves?

Democrats including, Kathy Hochul, Xavier Becerra, Ketanji Brown Jackson and Raphael Warnock are either unwilling to say, or simply don’t know, what a woman is. Sandra Feist put the “men’ back into menstruation, arguing for menstrual products in boy’s restrooms, saying; “Not all students who menstruate are female.” Say what?!

And what could be more misogynist than erasing the very words, “woman” and “mother” and replacing them with “pregnant people and birth givers?”

Later in her piece, the aforementioned columnist argues that “the dire consequence of abortion bans for women’s health are now evident and will continue under a Trump presidency.”

(No doubt, some would believe that not all people who have abortions are women).

Many electoral commentators don’t usually use the word abortion, preferring to euphemise the killing of babies in Newspeak terms such as “fertility restriction rights” or “reproductive rights.”

Thankfully, the first time he was in office, Trump made good on his promise to appoint conservative judges to the Supreme Court, which saw the overturning of Roe v Wade in 2022, and the killing-of-babies-in-utero restricted or outlawed in 21 states.

With Republicans now controlling the senate we can hope to see even more judicial appointments of conservatives.

Make no mistake, many of the voters at last week’s election were voting for “traditional family values,” despite the fact that Trump the man, might be no role model for family values.

Consider this, fewer women voted for Harris in 2024 as voted for Hillary Clinton in 2016.

The other issue on which Trump campaigned successfully, was illegal immigration. The left would love to see open borders as part of their march towards globalisation and a new world order. However, they never consider the consequences that open borders would have on the survival of the welfare state; there’s only so much of other people’s money to go around.

Hopefully the results of the US election will see an improvement in women’s rights, the right to life, the right to sovereignty, and the beginning of the end of woke.

Let’s pray we also come to our senses in Australia.
