True. Perhaps you could start a new movement: Wealthy White Women’s Lives Matter. You could share with us the oppression WWW face. I’m sure it takes a lot of fortitude.

No one wants to stop anyone...there is no animus here. There are many solutions to affordable housing. With the death of retail, the permanent closures of businesses from the lockdown, where I live we now have entire stretches of empty retail and office real estate. So convert that into apartment buildings. Convert the malls to mixed use--they are dying anyway. There is no absence of space. I wonder why that isn't in Biden's housing plan. Why does he put this burden--and it is a burden--on the working and middle class of all races?

I didn't buy my home when it was cheap. I bought it a few years ago. If the price goes down because a social engineer puts apartments on my block, that is a huge blow to me.

But if this is such a great idea, let's start at the top. Let's put the apartment buildings next to Oprah, Bezos, Pelosi, Biden. I'm sure they would love to stare at a parking lot full of cars from their living room. And if they don't like it, they can go to their second or third homes.

This will NOT start in the rich areas. They would HATE this. They will maintain their single family, large lots, and control over their environments. This will happen to the working and middle class, who will be vilified for opposing it.

Of course according to all the polls I am a myth, but I can assure all you doubters that I am real and I know lots more just like me.
As a former stay-at-home mom, I know there are plenty of SAHMs out there, and many of them are very hard-working.

But, as a highly educated white woman myself -- and a liberal (as were the vast majority of other educated SAHMs in the affluent suburbs of the large Midwestern city I lived in) -- I have no idea why this is a political issue. But, then again, I don't understand why almost everything in the US IS politicized.

Compared to other names women are routinely called, "housewife," though not appealing, is pretty benign.

Besides, Trump is married to a "housewife," which is what many Americans seem to expect our First Ladies to be. The wives of president/prime ministers of other countries continue on with their own careers after their husbands are elected and no one thinks anything of it.

Most "suburban housewives" I know (most who have voted Republican in the past) are DISGUSTED by Trump. He really has turned off most suburban housewives with his disgusting behavior and corruption these past few years.

America is being destroyed by the socialist dems/blm. Please pay attention to current events.

President Donald Trump has stood up more for America and American values than any president in recent history. I think the CCP is beginning to get the idea - don't send a boy to do a man's (Trump) job. I am disappointed in people who live in the United States, have no basic understanding of our history, but waste their lives burning and rioting for more hand outs and American tax payer dollars. Suburban housewives support our way of life and will vote to protect it and our children from violent socialist thugs.

You have no idea what problems people deal with in their private lives.

LOL. That's why the Chinese government is laughing at us, because we have a 74 year old man with the emotional intelligence of a 12 year old in the White House.

Your boy Trump is someone:

-Who has given out handouts to billionaires and millionaires.


-Who has told the Chinese it's ok to incarceerate their Muslim citizens in provinces, while angling for some political advantage for some agricultural sales, after he's messed up negotiations in a trade war that's knocked out our farmers.

-Who's cozied up to other dictators and strongmen like Putin, while telling off our allies such as Canada, Germany, and France.

He's played to your culture war grievances while making a mess of the country's interest and selling it out for his own good.

How about Unworried White Women... we white women who aren't wealthy but live comfortable non-ostentatious lives, mind our own business, concern ourselves only with ourselves and our families, and don't lose sleep over anyone else's social justice battles?

Trump mentions suburban housewives, and the commenter concludes from this that he "thinks of women as housewives". How astute.

The Left (today's Democrats) hate anything traditionally American like, God forbid, a stay at home Mom/housewife. They hate the nuclear family because it takes power away from all mighty Big Government which is their God. They are all about power, dependency and control, yet the weak minded go along with what the Media tells them to think. Pathetic.
