Don’t Buy Democrats’ ‘Momala,’ ‘Dad,’ And ‘Grandpop’ Schtick. They’re Not Your Family

Democrats employ ‘family’ rhetoric to endear voters who feel like they’ve been disappointed by their real families — so pretty much everyone.

On the last night of the DNC, Eva Longoria told the crowd that she and Kamala Harris were able to see “beyond the horizon because our families supported our big dreams.” According to Longoria, and almost all who toe the party line, “As Americans, we’re all a part of one big family. Somos familia. As familia, we have to have each other’s back. We have to support each other’s dreams because Kamala’s success is our success.”

This common “family” refrain of the Democrat Party is not an accident. It is a rhetorical device used to endear voters, particularly those who feel like they’ve been abandoned or disappointed by their biological families — which is pretty much everyone. 

Kamala is both “Momala” and your “cool aunt.” Joe Biden, your “grandpop.” Tim Walz is your newly minted “dad.” As Chad Felix Greene stated on X, “The Democrats have this weird obsession with convincing people the government is their family.”

Language is the tool we use to communicate a story or control a narrative, as we often hear during an election cycle, and Democrats are masterful at it — especially with the help of the accomplice media. To those unable to perceive deception, the words coming from Drew Barrymore or any corporate media pundit can sound uplifting and inclusive, but often the left’s rhetoric is just manipulative plays on particularly women’s insecurities and deep psychological wounds.

Only a psychopath would allow a daytime talk show host to call her the “momala of the country” and indulge such a strange delusion. And only a culture brainwashed by some twisted version of feminism that has, as Barrymore claims, “no ounce of … competitiveness,” would applaud this. That culture is comprised of one of the largest, most crucial voting blocks for the Democrat Party: (mostly) single, (mostly) white women and all liberal ones.

Arielle Fodor, who goes by the name “Mrs. Frazzled” on TikTok, a young woman even cringier than Barrymore, was introduced on the “White Women Rally” for Harris Zoom call as the one who would “help gentle parent [the participants] through this election.” 

Women like Fodor and Barrymore may be childish and narcissistic to the point of parody, but they also have millions of women who follow them and look to them for guidance and, in their own words, “parent” them. Why? 

Family is the natural order for human beings. It is human nature to associate family with feelings of safety, protection, love, and trust, whether someone comes from a stable, loving home or a broken, defective one. It is why children of alcoholics will often marry alcoholics. No matter how defective a parent may have been, a child often interprets even the most abusive behavior as normal or “love,” similar to the gaslighting we saw at the DNC last week.

If a traumatic event or a divorce disrupts the family order, children may not feel emotionally supported at all, leaving them susceptible to language of inclusivity or belonging. According to the Pew Research Center, as of 2018, 24 million, or one-third, of all children in the United States live with an unmarried parent. The divorce rate in the United States is approximately 43 percent. That’s almost half this country’s youth subjected to emotional instability. No matter how well parents navigate the complexities of divorce, it can be devastating to the emotional life of a young person. Don’t get me started on intentional single parenting, usually undertaken by wealthy lefty women who can afford full-time nannies.

Gentle parenting,” as Fodor recommends, does not properly develop emotional maturity as evidenced by her behavior. Children need both strong boundaries and discipline as well as nurturing and compassion to grow into healthy, mentally stable adults. Generations of parents have overcorrected on both sides. 

These are just some of the reasons why some 22-, 35-, or even 60-year-old women — and men — still unconsciously just want their mommies and daddies. I wonder how many Democrat women — both married and unmarried — fall into one of these categories?

It is why Democrats are so keen to use familial terms and why the tactic appeals to psychologically broken women and men. It allows the government to step into roles that were maybe imperfectly filled by parents. That’s why Barack Obama employed the paternalistic “Life of Julia” ad, wherein the fictional “Julia” would be taken care of by the government at each stage of her life.

When I read Greene’s X post, a light bulb went on. As a sensitive and emotional young girl, I felt like the black sheep in my highly disciplined and structured family. I did all the things I was supposed to do. I succeeded in academics, excelled in sports, and joined the right social structures, but I never felt understood or like I really fit in. 

And yes, I was a child of a divorce. 

When I moved to Los Angeles, I found people who seemed to understand my sensitivities. My so-called “healers” told me my ability to easily empathize with others was a “gift” rather than a liability. Because of this, I was not only unique but special. This allowed me to indulge and justify my emotional outbursts, which were plentiful. Much of my immature behavior continued long after I should have grown out of it. 

It also allowed me to be easily manipulated as I grasped onto any movement that would make me feel better about myself and allow me to proclaim my virtue. Look at me. I’m a good person.

This landed me squarely in a yoga cult that made me feel like I had finally found a home. After almost two decades of being far removed from my biological family, thoughts of them, along with many childhood memories, had been conveniently erased. Despite perfunctory annual visits, I had all but written them off as inferior spiritual beings. My guru took the place of my father, and my fellow yogis were my brothers and sisters. This was my “chosen family,” a trope often used in left-wing circles.

This is the same ideology that fuels comments like President Biden’s from a press conference a couple of years ago. When discussing education policies, Biden said, “They’re all our children. … They’re not somebody’s else’s children, they’re like yours [teachers’] when they’re in the classroom.” 

Democrats have such a stronghold on these women and men because it’s not about politics. It’s about emotional attachment. It’s why Republicans will never be able to sway them with arguments about economic policy or immigration or Title IX reforms. You can’t solve a psychological or spiritual problem with a political solution.
