It's an idealized world that was created by ad agencies to sell shit to people.

There is no path back to this idyllic lifestyle the children of the right wing want to reestablish.
It has been destroyed by the very extreme capitalism they espouse. Mom has to work now. Times have changed. These people live in an alternate reality. Want to fix shit? Get rid of billionaires.
It never existed. It’s pure fantasy.
I 100% guarantee that a majority of tradwife influencers do none of that bullshit off camera. Just another rightwing scam.
Yeah there's been multiple instances where "tradwives" were exposed that they were the complete opposite.
Nice try, but the daughter's dress is too short, I can see that slut's knees. The mom and the daughter are outside too, when they should be in the kitchen. Nice try making leftist propaganda looks right wing.
Also /s because satire is impossible now. Sorry for writing such horrible things.
That's not the daughter, that's wife #2.
Why not both?
Is this image AI generated? That football almost looks literally egg-shaped. I know that some call the sport American Hand-Egg, but this is uncanny.
Yes, it's AI.
It's a good guess.
Fascism loves "traditional family values". It's been used in propaganda for a long time. Everyone looks idyllic while fitting into prescribed roles that happen to put men at the top.
I know left wingers who look like that. Thing is they want it for themselves and don't force it on the rest of us
Sure, I’ll admit it. My ex and I took fairly traditional family roles, but that was because we both chose it. Also, I could afford it by virtual of a good college education and a well-paying white collar job.
So if you prefer that style of family life, you really need to focus on
- much stronger support of unions and a much higher minimum wage, to make it possible for one person to support a family
- much better financial support for a college education to anyone who might benefit, or at least fixing the student loan sword of Damocles
- a society freer of repression and expectations, so people can fairly choose the role that fits them best, not be forced into a role they don’t want
- early childhood support, including medical and childcare: it takes a village and we need local governments to help fill that role
- much larger affordable housing supply
- greatly expanded transit and walkable cities/town centers, so you’re not forcing the additional expenses of a private car
Here’s your challenge, republicans, this is how to support such a lifestyle successfully. Do this and people who want such a lifestyle can choose it without being forced, and they can afford it: empower those people to succeed, while not trying to force it on scenarios it will fail. This is the right wing agenda we can all aspire to
That was my abusive parents view of the perfect family. When I see photo's like that it makes me angry.
The dad looks like he's about to pelt his kid in the face with that football.
In the 1950s Americans bought almost nothing they couldn't afford in cash. Consumption of non-necessities was very low by comparison to today. If people want to live like they did in the 1950s USA we need to all join unions, stop buying stuff, and have the industrial capacity of the rest of the world be destroyed by war.
Personally I'd prefer focusing on the present and future rather than glorification of the past.
Not pictured; 90% Top tax bracket.
The only reason the blue collar man in the meme can afford a suburban home, a large family and free time on one income is because of very large taxes on the rich and very high rates of unionization. If people have these and choose to be trad-idiots, fine, so long as other people can also have these things and be free to choose to not be trad-idiots.
I know this is hard to believe, but many Americans do enjoy a nice suburban life. This stuff reads like nonsense to a good portion of the country.
If you look at this and think, "nice suburban life." I think that says more about you then it does me.
Lololol having a yard and kids is a literal hellscape!
Lol lol lol you're really plugged in and understand this meme.
Running in overalls is weird.
Why? They are just clothes. People run in clothes all the time
Because they are uncomfortable for movement, heavy, and absorb sweat. It's not likely anybody would be wearing them for sports unless it was just a quick impromptu thing and as such it looks weird.
Which Mario Brother is the blue one?
That’s their grandfather,
