In a shocking twist that’ll make the left’s heads spin, the female voting demographic has been acting just a tad less predictable than the media would have liked. Surprisingly enough, childless women, often disparaged as “cat ladies” by those on the right, might not just be all bosom buddies with the abortion agenda pushed by the Democrats. The 2024 election saw a notable portion of this group leaning towards Donald Trump—yes, the same guy the left loves to paint as public enemy number one. It turns out, they may prefer his policies to the endless talk about women’s rights that are really just code for their favorite topic: more abortion.
In a cycle seemingly focused solely on abortion, one would think that single women across America were just waiting with bated breath to cast votes for Kamala Harris. But hold the phone! A recent CNN exit poll reveals that instead of flocking to Harris, single women gave 38% of their votes to Trump, up from 36% last election. That isn’t a massive shift, but certainly enough to raise some eyebrows at Democratic headquarters. It seems that while Kamala was out touting her “free bodies, free choice” mantra, the reality of everyday living and safety was resonating more deeply than poring over clichés from pop star activists.
As It Turns Out, Childless Cat Ladies Kind of Like Trump https://t.co/a1DZQ8r8un

Speaking of clichés, Democrats recruited star power—think Beyoncé—who was compensated handsomely, no doubt, for her rote recitations about motherhood and “freedom.” However, one has to wonder why a staunch advocate for reproductive rights felt the need to pull on the heartstrings of women with tales of motherhood while no one likes restrictions on their freedoms. This misplaced focus could rival a cat lady’s obsession with feline social media accounts.
The elephant—or perhaps the cat—in the room is the whole “childless cat lady” phenomenon. Vice President-elect JD Vance stirred the pot when he referred to Democrats as a cadre led by “childless cat ladies.” Predictably, the reaction was swift and high-pitched, especially from unmarried Hollywood types like Jennifer Aniston. They whipped up quite the storm over this seemingly innocuous observation, proving that the left’s sensitivity may be even grander than their understanding of the average American woman’s plight.
What Vance actually asserted seemed well-founded: it’s not a jab at those without children, but rather a shot at the Democratic Party’s consistent anti-family, anti-child rhetoric. The left, in their bubble, might believe that women vote solely through emotional lenses. However, when faced with real-world issues—rising costs of living, security in their neighborhoods, and general safety—it’s clear that many women are considering more than just feelings when casting their ballots.
As the election wrapped up and the results poured in, the so-called “cat ladies” and other female voters showed a flicker of independence from the typical leftist narrative. The hope remains that this trend isn’t just a temporary blip but signals a collective awakening among women to reject the simplistic notion that their only guide in voting hinges on reproductive rights or the thoughts of the men in their lives. Expecting women to only vote based on body parts misses the mark massively. Perhaps the left should start worrying that their well-constructed bubble of women’s issues is about to burst.
