I think they mean a single income household and being able to own a home
Yes, but also what OP posted. When the women and minorities “knew their place” and the queer folks just didn’t exist in public.

Ballpark numbers (guesstimated by ChatGPT). In the 50s (after the ww2 explosion of the US industrial capacity) you came home after an 8 hour shift in a fridge making factory and had an income that could easily keep up 3 kids (including education), 2 cars, 1 stay at home wife and a house (like in The Simpsons). Since then the work productivity has risen 600% - 700%, yet the average income has risen less than 150% and the median icome less than 80%.
Hey now, they don’t want to bring back everything from the 50s… Suggest bringing back the tax rates from those days, especially for the upper end of the income scale, and they’ll look at you like you’re crazy.

Don’t forget about the intentional lack of people of color in this image!
Unless you’re Norman Rockwell whome I think this artist is trying to be.
“We had to leave the city to get away”
