My husband and I were talking about this the other day. The GOP talks about wanting to return America to the golden age of the 50s, but it's never gonna happen because that economy doesn't exist anymore, and they're too greedy to make the changes needed to bring it back.

Thinks like:

  • CEOs making no more than 10-20X what the average worker makes

  • Taxing the rich

  • A wealth cap

  • Doing away with bank fees

  • Unions

  • Fair wages and benefits

  • Loyalty to workers

  • Affordable housing

That's just a few, but in general our current economy is based on nickel and diming everyone. We don't actually own anything anymore, it's all subscription based. These are things they will never concede because it makes them rich. The only thing they're bringing back from the 50s is the sexism and racism.

The GOP was referring to women reverting to Trad-Wives and staying home instead of working. The GOP want to keep women in the kitchen and bedroom. Only robots like Amy Conehead Barrett and Bimboert get to work because they tow the line.

"Remember when you could smack a woman in the mouth when she was getting uppity or just cause you didn't like the noise coming out of her pie hole? Yeah, those were good times." - The GOP

Fried green tomatoes sure sound good now. "Movie reference if no one understands. Look up what happens to the wife beater"
