American moms were never fooled.
As activists and left-leaners over the last four years decried American exceptionalism, characterizing our great nation as a villain in world history – and even into the present, we knew better.
To accept their contrived charges against our beloved USA required ignoring the proud histories of American heroes, living and dead. They expected everyone to believe implausible claims of ongoing racism, hate, fluid pronouns, and genders. They seemed to be in the driver’s seat with this anti-patriot rhetoric and worldview, aided by the media, which had no problem adapting to this new set of “facts.” Also, in their corner – public schools, staffed by a large number (though not all) of college-indoctrinated educators, eagerly touting gender and sexuality curricula, pride celebrations, deceptive practices against parents, and critical race theory (loosely veiled by other names).
They were loud – deafening at times.
It was so loud that we were tempted to believe Biden/Harris supporters held the majority. A cacophony online and in the press celebrated an open border and the cause of terrorists like Hamas. They protected hate against our own Jewish citizens, promoted anti-parent, child, and family policies, and accused patriots who dared salute or pledge our flag.
Then, November 5th happened.
Lovers of freedom, former Democrat voters, Evangelicals, Catholics, African Americans, Latinos – and women made their voices even louder. Along with a red wave of Republicans, this brought an unquestionable victory and a vocal response to the last four years. Americans have had enough.
Millions who may not have felt brave enough to wear a MAGA hat or sport a bumper sticker were silently but enthusiastically Trump supporters. And they were everywhere.
Silent, only until election day. In that nation-saving moment, they championed the spirit of President Trump as he rose from the stage in Butler, Pennsylvania, historically pumping his fist with the now-famous cry of “Fight, fight, fight!”
With that, Americans seemed to gather a new courage and resolve to secure a return to American greatness. The historic win of the executive and legislative branches (though the House margins are a little slim for my taste) signals a monumental shift away from the destruction of our land and people – back to American patriotism.
This is not the end, but only the beginning of what needs to happen beginning January 20th, 2025. Much is being strategized between the border, DOGE, our military, the educational system, and the economy. Meanwhile, moms stand tall. That’s why we are sharing four keys to bringing back American patriotism in 2025.
Stay the Course with Patriotic Fervor
Like we said, you’ve embraced patriotism all along. Now it’s time to encourage those afraid in the previous climate to show their American pride. Mamas, you know what to do. Wear the gear – your hats, hoodies, and patriotic sneakers and encourage your family to do the same.
Keep supporting the patriotic parallel economy. Shop with vendors who share your values. We’re not saying you shouldn’t spend outside of that alternative marketplace; we still need our communities’ readily available goods and services. Just continue to support those who risked it all to stand against woke ideologies like DEI to build businesses that give you an alternative.
Remember places like Public Square, a virtual mall of retailers who share your patriotic fervor. Then there are the entertainment options like Bentkey and Yippee TV (for kids), Great American Pure Flix, Angel Studios, and Daily Wire. Rising news and social media outlets like Rumble, Truth Social, Tucker Carlson Network, and Blaze TV could see marked growth during the next four years as the mainstream media gasps for breath.
As you encourage patriotic businesses and public expression, know that the floundering mainstream media will be fighting hard against the rise of pro-American sentiment. If they continue true to form, they will promote half-truths and images meant to mislead, especially with issues like firing bureaucrats and beginning the deportation of criminals. Don’t fall for any of it. They will attempt to villainize this administration and all who support it. Their ratings tanked in the weeks following the landslide, so they’ll probably be willing to do or say just about anything to survive.
Tell the Stories of American Freedom
Continue to educate yourselves and your families with the great stories of our nation’s founding and history. From the miracles seen by George Washington and the patriots who opened the door to begin our republic to our astronauts who left footprints on the moon, even to the development of the internet and the smartphone – don’t miss a thing!
Thousands of accounts of everyday people, politicians, and entrepreneurs fill the book of our history. Each one of inestimable valuable.
We also never want to shrink from the truth because out of our nation’s worst offenses – like the atrocity of slavery – came some of our greatest acts of courage to defeat it. The United States is unique, having fought a great war where hundreds of thousands lost their lives to end that barbaric practice here (even as slavery was still common worldwide). These young Americans gave all for the freedom of those who suffered in bondage and for those in the future who would never have to know slavery’s ravages. Then, it was passed to the next generation to fight for civil rights and push to end discrimination in our land.
Enjoy patriotic movies like 1776, Yankee Doodle Dandy, The Patriot, Sergeant York, Lincoln, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, Glory, The Right Stuff, Miracle, and Apollo 13. Did I leave out your favorite? Check out a detailed review before sitting your kiddos down to some of these. Several of these flicks may need to wait until they are older.
Consider a patriotic adventure in your state and beyond. At some point, plan a trek to our nation’s capital to experience the impressive monuments, museums, and historic sites. We can help you track down ideas with our Liberty Trips map, which can point you to various options no matter where you live.
The path of America has been one of pain, struggle, teamwork, and intensity, and it has been a journey to achieve unparalleled freedom and prosperity. We have seen more built in our short 248 years than other nations that have existed for several thousand. As moms, we have the privilege of giving our kids the gift of understanding history and helping them discover their part in the unfolding American story.
Scrutinize Schools and Speak Up for Your Children
One of the things Tucker Carlson has said repeatedly referring to the coming Trump term is that “Dad’s home, and he’s pissed.” Maybe we don’t always use that word, but his point is solid. It’s time to speak up for our kids.
Schools have heard your voice at board meetings and parent/teacher conferences during the last few difficult years. The media tried to play you off as crazies who wanted to ban books and hurt poor children who were born in the wrong bodies. Even amid the backlash, moms gained some serious ground in the education system. Now is no time to back off.
We expect a saner climate, hopefully conducive to parental rights and the safety of our children. School choice has grown exponentially, and President Trump has promised to shore up the lack of patriotic education and dropping test scores.
His DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency) promises to take a good long look at the Department of Education with Vivek Ramaswamy and Elon Musk assessing its performance. We can imagine things will drastically change in the next few years (if not sooner).
You can do your part by continuing to speak up. Hold teachers and administrators accountable for accurate history and civics. Continue to politely raise complaints and attention when you see gender ideology, pornographic books, and critical race theory indoctrination in your child’s school. It’s time to oust damaging ideologies as we stand for our kids.
We enjoyed speaking with Julie Pickren this week on the podcast, where she shared about Restoring Patriotism in Education. Don’t miss this inspiring and timely conversation. (Need Link)
Celebrate The USA – In Every Way
The party has already started. We mentioned it a couple of weeks ago. Trump dance parties are rampant, and we can’t seem to stop pumping our fists and singing “Y-M-C-A!” So, let’s not.
Use this time to ramp up your family’s celebration of America. Plan parties for the Fourth of July and plan to commemorate all our nation’s holidays in grand style. Host a cookout and invite your neighbors and friends. Deck the house and yard with patriotic flair, and even consider inviting those who don’t share your enthusiasm to experience a little good old American fun.
Pray for our leaders and nation weekly as a regular part of the schedule for your families. It can help prayer integrate into your kids’ lives so they will readily continue it into adulthood. The Bible reminds us to pray for our leaders: “I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way.” (1 Timothy 2:1-2)
We have more ways you can celebrate together with us, like joining one of our Moms for America Groups, Cottage Meetings, Cottage Meetings for Kids, Grammy Grizzlies, Future Moms for America, Homeschool Mom2Mom – or you may want to experience some of our webinars and courses available on demand. We also have tools to help you get involved in your school district and beyond.
Patriotism and patriotic expression are back in style. It may take some time and effort to help our nation remember how to celebrate the American spirit; however, we know it’s rising. We are grateful as we anticipate a new dawn for our country, and we must continue to stand for her together as moms!
