Pandemic Shifts Women's Beliefs Towards Conservatism

During the pandemic, many women, including former liberal Dallas mom Taylor Moran, experienced a shift in their beliefs due to the governments response. This led them to seek out new perspectives and communities online. Conservative influencers like Allie Beth Stuckey saw their audiences grow, offering Scripture-infused commentary and appealing to millennial women. Vaccine mandates were a major catalyst for some, like wellness influencer Clark, who now uses her platform to discuss topics like regenerative farming and Godly male headship. These influencers, including former collegiate swimmer Riley Gaines Barker, carefully balance leadership with traditional gender roles, preferring femininity over feminism. They model this by documenting their roles as wives and mothers, often wearing makeup and feminine clothing. This movement sees itself in a culture war, believing their values are under attack and framing these attacks as spiritual. The Make America Healthy Again moms are seen as a powerful political force, contributing to a shift to the right among certain demographics of women. The Daily News Now! — Every city. Every story.
