Earlier this week, the Queen of Pop took to Instagram to share a lengthy but poignant message, expressing her deepest fears for twin daughters, Stella and Estere, 12, in lieu of the outcome of the 2024 Presidential election.
The 66-year-old began, “I woke up this morning and the first thought that came to my head was-America hates Women! – Not that I haven’t always felt the wrath of misogyny breathing down my neck.”
“I walked downstairs to my daughter’s classroom . They are being homeschooled – they were taking a science test. I hugged them both and I started to cry . They are so upset about the elections and they are 12!! They are adopted from Malawi. Will they be considered Vermin by the government as well?”
The “Material Girl” singer continued, “But it’s not just women that America hates. They straight up hate Freedom. They want lower taxes, but they don’t mind if they live in a Totalitarian government to get them. I don’t want to let go of our democracy!! Now we will all have to fight even harder to hang onto it. Americans who voted for Trump or didn’t vote at all- showed that many people are OK with a dictatorship to take over. I don’t want my friends that are not naturally born Americans to live in internment camps.!! I want my daughters and all of their friends to have agency over their bodies!!”
“To feel valued. Not like second-class.citizens. How could women vote for Trump? We fought for so long for so much! What are we going to do with our feelings of disappointment? The universe is telling us that we have to spend the next four years fighting for our freedom !!!”
Madonna, whose real name is, Madonna Louise Ciccone, concluded, “Are you prepared to fight? Critical thinking and getting involved in our community is needed. Be prepared to fight for your freedom Be prepared to fight for your life ! I’m not giving up hope . Are you with Me?”
Madonna’s post had fans divided almost instantaneously.
One Instagram user commented, “Love that you continue to use your voice.”
Another added, “Well said! Thank you for always inspiring us all.”
Someone who shares an opposite opinion posted, “Still a fan but I’m not with you on this one. None of the things you fear are going to happen, M. There will always be bad people in the world, but Trump, and those who voted for him do not hate women or gays.”
Another user on the other side of the aisle posted a lengthy response, beginning her comment, “SHUT UP!! Let’s see what happens. You talk about rights and freedom. The majority of the United States has spoken… and voted. I don’t particularly agree with it all. However, i am willing to see what happens.. give it a try…”
The “La Isla Bonita” singer is very vocal about the love she has for her children, calling Stella, Estere, David, and Mercy her “ride or dies,” at the conclusion of her most recent world tour. She truly lets everyone know how proud she is of everyone of her children, only wanting the best for them that life can give.
Madonna is mother to six children. In addition to Stella, and Estere, she is also mother David Banda, 19, Mercy James, 18. Madonna adopted both David Banda and Mercy James from Malawi as well. Additionally, she is mother to to to two older biological children, Lourdes, 27, Rocco, 23.
