Sundresses and rugged self-sufficiency: ‘tradwives’ tout a conservative American past ... that didn’t exist
The TikTok-friendly aesthetic, which celebrates homesteading, milkmaids and ‘the feminine urge to take care of your husband’, hinges on a history today’s Republicans would fiercely oppose

‘LORD, HELP US MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN’

A close reading of Trump-rally prayers...

...
To understand the evolving psychology and beliefs of Trump’s religious supporters, I attempted to review every prayer offered at his campaign events since he announced in November 2022 that he would run again. Working with a researcher, I compiled 58 in total, the most recent from June 2024. The resulting document—at just over 17,000 words—makes for a strange, revealing religious text: benign in some places, blasphemous in others; contradictory and poignant and frightening and sad and, perhaps most of all, begging for exegesis.

There are many ways to parse the text. You could compare the number of times Trump’s name is mentioned (87) versus Jesus Christ’s (61). You could break down the demographics of the people leading the prayers: 45 men and 13 women; overwhelmingly evangelical, with disproportionate representation from Pentecostalism, a charismatic branch of Christianity that emphasizes supernatural faith healing and speaking in tongues. One might also be tempted to catalog the most comically incendiary lines (“Oh Lord, our Lord, we want to be awake and not woke”). But the most interesting way to look at these prayers is to examine the theological motifs that run through them.

Meet the Flip-Flop Club: 7 Republicans Who Kissed the Ring

1. I’m a ‘Never Trump’ guy. I never liked him.
2. How many more times do we have to lose before we realize that he is the problem. He lost in 2018. He lost in 2020. He lost in ’22.
3. You can be the most worthless Republican in America, but if you kiss the ring, he’ll say you’re wonderful
4. What Trump did last week was wrong. Downright abhorrent. Plain and simple. (re: Jan 6)
5. I think in the presidential field, there are some candidates — who over the long run and they’ve already started this process — are somewhat disqualifying themselves with untruthful statements.
6. This man is a pathological liar. He doesn't know the difference between truth and lies.
7. You all have friends who are thinking about voting for Donald Trump. Friends do not let friends vote for con artists.

You can bring a gun to a Trump rally, but integrity is strictly forbidden.

That's obviously a tweet/post/opinion from an Israeli.

It's incitement regardless of who's meant to be the target. Pick your favorite target.

You are able to see on a daily basis who ends up being the targets.

I.e. it then amounts to further inciting massacres/genocide (in most of your examples possibly leading to criminal prosecution).
