As we approach the end of another year, it’s natural to reflect on the events that have shaped our lives over the past 12 months. For many of us, 2024 was a year of challenges and struggles, but it was also a year of hope and progress. And as we gather with our loved ones to celebrate Thanksgiving, it’s important to take a moment to express gratitude for the positive changes that have taken place.
One person who knows all about the power of gratitude is Alex Marlow, the Editor-in-Chief of Breitbart and host of the “Alex Marlow Show”. In a recent episode, Marlow shared his thoughts on what he’s thankful for over the past year. And his message is one that we can all take to heart.
First and foremost, Marlow expressed his gratitude for the fact that “the bad guys lost”. In a year that was filled with political turmoil and division, it’s easy to feel discouraged and disheartened. But Marlow reminds us that despite the challenges, the forces of good ultimately prevailed. From the defeat of radical ideologies to the rejection of harmful policies, 2024 was a year in which the bad guys were pushed back and the voices of reason and truth were heard.
But it’s not just about the big victories. Marlow also highlighted the smaller, yet equally important, moments of progress that took place over the past year. He noted that “young people were starting to get it”. In a time when many young people are often portrayed as being apathetic or disengaged, Marlow’s words are a reminder that the younger generation is not only paying attention, but they are also actively involved in shaping the future. From standing up for their beliefs to advocating for change, young people are proving that they are a force to be reckoned with.
And it’s not just young people who are making a difference. Marlow also pointed out that “suburban women started to get it”. This is a significant statement, as suburban women have often been portrayed as a monolithic voting bloc. But as Marlow notes, they are a diverse group with a wide range of beliefs and values. And in 2024, many of them began to see through the false narratives and divisive rhetoric that have been used to manipulate them. They started to think for themselves and make decisions based on what they truly believe in, rather than what they are told to believe.
But perhaps one of the most important things that Marlow is thankful for is the restoration of free speech. In a time when censorship and cancel culture are rampant, the ability to express oneself freely and openly is something that should never be taken for granted. And in 2024, we saw a pushback against the suppression of free speech. From individuals speaking out against censorship to platforms standing up for the right to express diverse opinions, the fight for free speech is far from over, but it’s a battle that we are winning.
As we gather around the Thanksgiving table this year, let us remember to be thankful for the positive changes that have taken place over the past year. Let us be grateful for the defeat of harmful ideologies, the progress made by young people and suburban women, and the restoration of free speech. And let us also remember that there is still much work to be done, but with gratitude and determination, we can continue to move forward towards a better future.
In conclusion, as Alex Marlow reminds us, let us be thankful that the bad guys lost and that free speech was restored. Let us be grateful for the progress that has been made and the hope that lies ahead. And let us never forget the power of gratitude in shaping our lives and our world for the better. Happy Thanksgiving.
