This is actually a great analysis of Hallmark Channel’s Christmas movies, and why their plots frequently center on 30-something year old women who abandon their successful big city lives to move back to their home towns and marry the handsome “boy next door.” It seems to be a very popular fantasy among the network’s primary audience, conservative women aged 50+ (70% of the channel’s viewers.)
A lot of this is by design, I know how bringing up Hillary Clinton closes minds to what she says but she had a fantastic point in this article that the Right are trying to destroy our families just like they’re successfully destroying our sense of community by fostering distrust and hate for one another, the next step is with the families. So why are they doing this? Because angry isolated individuals are easier to control and manipulate.
Also this plays into how Right wing lawmakers are trying to make it easier to exert control over women and children, because the close minded right wingers don’t see wives and children as people, they see them as property, resources, and objects of sexual desire.
