“Woke” is such a handy catch-all for the various forces making America miserable that it’s easy to forget we’re using our opponent’s term. And it’s a well-chosen one. It implies rejecting complacency in order to question received, official narratives. It implies looking beyond our self-interest to become aware of the suffering of our fellow man. What kind of moral cretin would oppose that?

Egg-freezing boomed during the pandemic. Precipitated by the pause on dating life that many women in their late twenties counted on to find a husband, and facilitated by an aggressive new marketing push on social media, women took their gnawing fear to Big Pharma, who promised an alchemical peace with little to no side effects. Of course, this wasn’t the only thing pharmaceutical companies lied about at the time or any time before. But as experimental fertility procedures become a more “normal” option for women, the mendacious secrecy about its effects on the female body will catch women off guard. Nobody thinks that the procedure marketed to “preserve your fertility” might kill your fertility. But, as my most recent guest on Girlboss, Interrupted explains, it can and, not infrequently, it does.

Roald Dahl was my first favorite writer; his stories were the first I consciously attributed to a real person doing a job. What hooked me was the sense that he didn’t kid-proof his books. His delightful fantasies of eccentric candy makers, talking worms, and telekinetic schoolgirls had something pleasingly hard-nosed about them.

A little over a year ago, Mary Harrington wrote in Unherd that modest fashion was having a comeback. In British department stores for middle-class women, high-neck midi dresses and loose-fitting sportswear currently take up the most available shelf space. She explains: “The [traditional] turn in high-street womenswear feels like a mutiny against the long-unchallenged belief that clothing is a vector for self-expression—an idea that usually precedes someone trying to sell you something uncomfortable and expensive.” We can easily detect a similar change in America in woke storefronts like H&M, Old Navy, and the classic department stores, but especially in the explosion of modest boutiques, usually that advertise through social media.

For those passionate about made-in-America products, this is your chance to save big.

In this age, it’s hard to find a company that hasn’t bent over backward to appease mass media and “social justice warriors.” In essence, these companies have become “woke,” as they are pressured to denounce Christian and conservative values, all in the name of freedom. 

As our economy shapes so much of our country’s cultural landscape, we need to support companies that stand up to societal pressure and stay true to the traditional family values that America once had in abundance. 

Although this list isn’t exhaustive, here are a few of our favorite conservative companies that stand up for America’s conservative values:
