    What changed? I’m surprised not much talk here about the obvious change in conservative right wing values since then.

    In the past these white middle income men would be proud to provide for an entire family, they would happily accept the women stay at home, actually they would demand it and they wouldn’t complain about them being gold diggers, in fact they would rejoice together as they bought the newest color TV or microwave.

    In contrast the old “hard day at work” is far from being a conservative value and is deeply out of touch at least with millenials and younger chuds imo. They complain about the “softness” of liberals but it is all projection, as you know, they are literaly the most likely group to get scammed by get rich quick schemes. All the masculine alpha males/crypto bros are all looking for the next scam to become millionaires overnight because as the damn alphas they’re obviously entitled to it.

    The other part is modern right values end up contradicting old conservative values like in this case, the dream of a house and a stay at home mother is in conflict with the toxic masculinity chud cults that demonize women for trying to work, get education or leave the house therefore helping achieve this “American dream”.

    TL;DR even if somehow economic conditions improved the current all the cryptobro/alpha male generation isn’t going back to single income households anytime soon, probably never as the hate for women reached a point where old conservative dreams like this is not actually desirable for many.

      I don’t think their values have changed. Right-wingers don’t believe in the meaning of words.

      Right-wingers don’t believe in “hard work” and they never have, they believe in ownership and entitlement through hierarchy. When they talk about hard work, it is exclusively used to justify the status quo. If you’re wealthy, it’s because you’ve worked hard and if you’re poor, it’s because you’ve not worked hard enough. It also serves to peddle a fantasy of agency to their audiences.

        I noticed that too. When they talk about ‘muh hard work’ they’re always talking about SOMEONE ELSE working hard, or putting an emphasis on finding ways to get others to do things FOR YOU.

        Even getting a job. For whatever reason porky wants us all to “network” or if we have rich friends, pester them into telling the company they are an executive in to to them a favor and hire you. When “networking” becomes a job requirement, isn’t it a wacky coincidence when ‘undesirables’ can’t get jobs? That clearly means they are inferior…but please ignore the fact that being unpopular bars you from working.
