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%.
I think they mean a single income household and being able to own a home
Probably mostly for middle class white people. A pretty significant chunk of the population I think struggled to enjoy those benefits.
Yes, but also what OP posted. When the women and minorities “knew their place” and the queer folks just didn’t exist in public.
You’re right some people do think that way, and others are convinced to do so because they think their worsening economic situation is because of someone else’s better social situation, when in reality it’s greed and oligarchic socio-political rule which ruins it for everyone across the board.

Don’t forget about the intentional lack of people of color in this image!
I mean in 1960 the “non-Hispanic white” population was 85.4%. Not to mention this is probably a single family. Though making one of the people black for diversity would be pretty funny. At least there’s some women in there, but they’ve had to settle for two fifths.
Well grandpa seems to be enjoying it.
