Shit, let’s go back to the 1850’s! Then, i don’t have to pay my “employees” shit!
I still can’t get through my day without tons of drugs. Have you seen the hellscape that we live in?
I think we need to start normalising taking lots more drugs just to cope
I think they mean a single income household and being able to own a home
If you’re white, so you didn’t get redlined into some worse neighborhood.
So tax the rich?
That’s the first part, the second part is to have oversight to prevent corruption and mismanagement
Yes, but also what OP posted. When the women and minorities “knew their place” and the queer folks just didn’t exist in public.
You’re right some people do think that way, and others are convinced to do so because they think their worsening economic situation is because of someone else’s better social situation, when in reality it’s greed and oligarchic socio-political rule which ruins it for everyone across the board.
Agreed.
Probably mostly for middle class white people. A pretty significant chunk of the population I think struggled to enjoy those benefits.
I don’t think about that because all of the culturally-produced content I have access to paints a steady picture of property and compliance. This is my mental model and my friends and I aren’t in the mood for a new story right now. ^^^/$
Hey now, they don’t want to bring back everything from the 50s… Suggest bringing back the tax rates from those days, especially for the upper end of the income scale, and they’ll look at you like you’re crazy.
Or there’s the fact that union membership peaked in the 50s.
Don’t forget about the intentional lack of people of color in this image!
I don’t think people of color existed back then.
“Well look at that negro. Why is he walking around without supervision?”
“We had to leave the city to get away”
Unless you’re Norman Rockwell whome I think this artist is trying to be.
I mean in 1960 the “non-Hispanic white” population was 85.4%. Not to mention this is probably a single family. Though making one of the people black for diversity would be pretty funny. At least there’s some women in there, but they’ve had to settle for two fifths.
Ballpark numbers (guesstimated by ChatGPT). In the 50s (after the ww2 explosion of the US industrial capacity) you came home after an 8 hour shift in a fridge making factory and had an income that could easily keep up 3 kids (including education), 2 cars, 1 stay at home wife and a house (like in The Simpsons). Since then the work productivity has risen 600% - 700%, yet the average income has risen less than 150% and the median icome less than 80%.
What they mean is that they wish they could be the grandfather
Yeah they’re pissed that the cycle got broken and they never got their turn.
It is almost like if you kill off half the male population there is twice as much stuff and two women for every man. We just need another world war to get there am I riiight?
I finally understand MAGA.
“I can’t get through my day without a shit ton of drugs”
tbqf me too
I haven’t seen that one before. Is it “to be quite fair”?
Yeah.
Damn, I had “Frank” instead of fair. Not enough people use frank D:
To be queer, Frank.
I read it as to be queef
Tuberculosis queef?
Band name, or album?
Self titled EP
The drugs and child abuse ones are still accurate.
And modern Americans are doing their damnedest to make the polio one true again as well.
A solid 30% of Americans are trying their best to bring all of that image back.

During the 50s, getting divorced was frowned upon. And I was reading about how housewife’s frequently were either drugged/intoxicated to deal with their abusive husbands, or plotting to kill them.
Well grandpa seems to be enjoying it.
Brining that trench energy and undiagnosed PTSD to family life
So wholesome.
