Donald Trump has a new personal mascot he’s parading around in a desperate attempt to fuel his re-election campaign: the suburban housewife. “The ‘suburban housewife’ will be voting for me,” he Tweeted on Tuesday, shortly after the Biden campaign announced Kamala Harris as VP. “They want safety & are thrilled that I ended the long-running program where low-income housing would invade their neighborhood.” Over the last few months, Trump has continually invoked the “Suburban Housewife Dream,” to describe a way of life he claims is under attack.

Much like elves or trolls that live under a bridge, the suburban housewife is a myth, based loosely on a past stereotype resurrected to make the suburbs seem like a utopia for upper and middle-class whites. Trump, who has long enjoyed gesturing toward

white supremacists, is digging up this old dog whistle from his backyard in a series of tweets intended to stoke fears of a more diverse suburban-life ruining the American dream. What Trump seems to have missed is that suburbs are not a magical safe haven for white people looking to get away from gritty urban areasThe suburban housewife, an offshoot of the soccer mom, is cast as a demure white woman with at least 2.5 children and a white husband with a white-collar job. She herself does not have a job, which

would take away from keeping her suburban home super clean and participating in suburban neighborhood activities, like lemonade stands and a cul-de-sac wide barbecue. Depending on her level of expertise she’s also the head of the PTA and knows to never bring snacks that contain nuts to events at her kids’ school. This is the woman Trump is talking about when he talks about the “suburban housewife” that will be voting for him in November.

GreatDismal The best thing about suburbs is that cities have somewhere to send undesirable elements.
