Bad Election Results Offer a New Call to American Greatness
Everyone's got an opinion about what went wrong.
Some want to pin the blue wave on the current Administration, while others claim it was all about the price of gas and groceries. Some allege it was simply the midterm curse that ousts the party in power every four years.
Still others cite a major cultural shift: a desire to return to the good old days of free-flowing wokeness, unfettered immigration, and a stern rejection of making America great. The young vote seemed to turn against Republican ideals out of ignorance or possibly narrative-driven disillusionment.
Additionally, we can never underestimate the steady drumbeat of propaganda from a one-sided mainstream media. Their message was almost singular, using keywords like "gas prices and affordability." They didn't trouble themselves to delve into issues deeply, exploring the historic dangers of socialism, while selling this brand of economic snake oil to a woefully ignorant citizenry. They remained silent on the accomplishments of a closed border, rescue from nuclear threats, or increased investment in US interests. They neglected to highlight tax cuts or reduced drug prices. Those don't have pizzazz for an agenda-driven press. Journalism in the US died some years ago. For the entire election season, the message was simple. It was "the affordability crisis" with a steady undercurrent of Trump derangement syndrome among media elites.
Moms for America Founder and President, Kimberly Fletcher, offered her insights on the election results in an article for Townhall. "You want to know why the left won on Election Night? Because they have been very patiently moving their pawns for decades, infiltrating every aspect of our culture and society, until our own children are openly voting for communism and embracing Sharia Law. They are infecting the hearts and minds of our children with lies, convincing the masses to despise everything America stands for."
Cancer in Our Land
It's crazy what they want. Socialism, lawlessness, gender transitions for kids, assisted suicide, and rampant killing of babies through deregulated abortion. They would probably want to do away with tariffs (if they could) and increase taxes. Not to mention the widely known desire to end gas and coal energy in favor of more expensive and less reliable sources. It's a lot, and this election proves these ideas have spread like cancer across this nation. It can feel overwhelming, but don't lose heart.
Have you ever known someone who struggled with cancer? Getting that diagnosis is a shock, a pull-the-rug-out-from-under-you sort of crushing moment. In that moment, the person wonders whether they will live or die. The future is unknown, and the enemy is within. Still, the answer is to take a breath, pray, assess next steps with health professionals to create a strategy and treatment plan. It is a one-day-at-a-time battle; some succumb, but statistically, most people survive. Hope remains, though that first moment feels earth-shattering.
The morning after the election, seeing what had been lost was also a shock. The threats and plans expressed by an extreme sect that has now gained power promised an attack on the very heart of America and her greatness. It was a moment that took our breath away. But remember, through our history, there have been other enemies of freedom, from World Wars to stock market crashes to a bloody Civil War that pitted neighbor against neighbor, and cost us well over half a million lives. Still, America survived.
This enemy ideology is within our borders, and the answer isn't easy. The President still wields veto power and, with his Cabinet, will approach issues and attacks as they arise. One at a time. A strategy for every challenge. The outcome is yet unknown, but hope remains.
Fletcher recalled the Biden years, "It was overwhelming. Moms reached out to me in a panic, wondering what to do and how to protect their children, their families, and their very freedom. 'Where did this come from?' so many asked me. To which I could only respond, 'It was always there hiding in the dark, behind classroom doors, in Hollywood celebrations, media dinners, your city halls. But now you can see it.'"
"God gave us a warning in 2020," she continued. "He shined the light on the evil flooding our nation…Then in 2024, the American people showed up en masse to stop it."
Two years later, the tides have turned. While the many challenges of losing a midterm are common, admittedly, the concerns of this one are staggering.
Still, is it possible that the next two years of extreme ideology and freedom-killing anti-family stances will shake our citizens from their complacency once more? Might these socialist antisemites and Islamists overplay their hand, setting up the 2028 race for a stronger America-First showing and possible victory?
Truth Will Survive
Remember that meme-worthy image (and video) of the girl wearing a knit cap, screaming in desperation over Hillary's loss to Trump in 2016? She is iconic. There was weeping and gnashing of teeth for weeks and months after Trump's first victory. Now the shoe is on the other foot, and we face the heartbreak of seeing so many American patriots who lost elections a few nights ago.
Will we collapse in a heap as they did in 2016 and 2024?
Nope. Not our style.
Let's recalibrate. Sure, we're in a defensive stance now, seeking ways to preserve our nation and safeguard its future. But we know what we face: many of the usual suspects. Those who envision a nation without God, without gratitude towards our forefathers, and who desire to rewrite history. They push gender transitions, prop up racism, and seem infatuated with abortion. Just like the Biden years, we still won't bow.
Now more than ever, it's time to protect and educate our children with the truth. Expect foolishness in your state and school system. We won't be conned by attempts to pretend that these things aren't happening and that indoctrination isn't underway. As Fletcher so aptly put it in her piece, they are "playing the long game."
But our long game is longer. It goes back to the earliest days of America, to 1776 and even further back to 1620 and the Mayflower Compact. The seeds of a new society were strategized shipboard with values of freedom, faith, and fairness. Throughout America's history, our citizens have always moved forward, correcting missteps along the way and building a nation like none other.
Preserving that truth, moms and others have taught it to our nation's kids in the classroom and at the hearth. They've written letters and books, articles, blogs, and social media posts. They, and you, approach the truth about America with great hope as it remains the most innovative and impressive nation in the history of the world. We thank God for it all.
That truth stands. And it will continue to stand long after the policies promised by the newly elected have shown themselves to be the duds they are.
Moms Must Continue to Stand
America is not lost.

We are ready to lock arms with you to build an even stronger, vaster coalition of mothers who will stand for this nation and the future of our most precious young patriots.

Christian rapper, Forrest Frank, created a reel after his social media channels were flooded with comments post-election like, "We're gonna invent new genders you haven't even imagined yet" and "we're gonna trans your kids so bad." There were others, just as bad, each with 30,000 or more likes. Despite acknowledging that he might lose followers, the musician expressed sadness and concern for those who celebrated with audacious comments about gender and abortion.
"You don't want to mess around with this," Frank said. "Do not mess around with God. Do not mess around with the family…If we lose the family, we lose everything. I want to do two things. One, to encourage you to be activated. Pray. Discern. Read your word. Hold your family tight… Let's be the soldiers that we signed up to be for the Kingdom. And secondly, be encouraged because God is the victor; He wins. And at the end of the day, every knee will bow to Jesus Christ."
Truth.
Keep praying for this great nation and for your family. Our founders understood the value and necessity of seeking God's mercy and favor from our nation's inception, and throughout the most trying years our nation faced. We can do no less. God hears us from Heaven, and we cannot stop asking for His help.
Consider stepping back from the virulent effects of too much news and social media. It can harm your heart and mind. Doomsayers can pull you into paralyzing fear.
These words from the great Rush Limbaugh remain true today. "It's never time to panic, folks. It's never, ever gonna be time to give up on our country. It will never be time to give up on the United States. It will never be time to give up on yourselves."
