On Tuesday, Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders offered the Republican response to President Joe Biden’s State of the Union address. Huckabee Sanders, 40, pointed out that she’s currently the youngest governor in the country while Biden, at 80, is the oldest president in the nation’s history.

The study of contrasts didn’t end there: “I’m the first woman to lead my state. He’s the first man to surrender his presidency to a woke mob that can’t even tell you what a woman is.”

Huckabee Sanders continues: “We are under attack in a left-wing culture war we didn’t start, and never wanted to fight. Every day we are told we must partake in their rituals, salute their flags, and worship their false idols .... That’s not normal. It’s crazy, and it’s wrong.”

Huckabee Sanders is a perfect example of why the left maligns, cancels, mocks, and ignores conservative women. They’re deathly afraid of what happens when a smart, articulate, savvy mom gets a political platform, saying out loud what the rest of us, the un-woke, think every day.

For decades, American women have been subjected to a daily dose of liberal women, touting their agenda, in every public institution, from fashion magazines to daytime television, politics, Hollywood, and book publishing. “The View” offers the clearest window into the daily propaganda, with liberal women always outnumbering conservative (or usually more middle-of-the-road) women by at least double the margin.

The results have been dramatic, leaving most American women with the impression that left-leaning ideology is the only way for a proper woman to think, so much so that one blogger, Dr. Mark McDonald, has suggested that American women are now simply undatable.

He writes:

“American women today suffer from a combination of emotional and characterologic pathology that renders them unfit to be romantic partners to men. On the emotional side, they are angry, anxious, and dysregulated. Men find them exhausting and not at all fun to be around. In addition to their unpleasant emotions, men must also contend with their toxic personality traits: narcissism, ingratitude, and an overbearing and judgmental attitude that appears to be constant.”

And it isn’t just single women who have been deformed by the left. American women are perpetually pushed to find something new about which to be angry. The rage du jour is the liberal fight against conservatives who won’t allow underage children to receive the often irreversible and sterilizing gender reassignment treatments and surgeries.

Meanwhile, elite liberals, many of whom are close to Biden’s age, are shielded from any kind of real debate or pushback, protected by the media with softball questions and fawning magazine spreads in Vogue. These women continue to grasp for power with cold arthritic fingers, while younger women reject the sterile promises they’ve been peddling for decades.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders, who has navigated through all the left’s pitfalls and was still able to get elected as Arkansas’s first female governor, is a great beacon of hope. She isn’t afraid to speak out against the radical woke agenda that has seeped deeply into the fabric of American society and calls it truly as it is: crazy. Millions of Americans, men and women, agree with her but are silenced by the elite liberal hegemony. It’s time for us to start pushing back and find ways to give voice to more women with Huckabee Sanders’s courage and steadfastness, who truly are the liberal elite’s worst nightmare.
