Outdoor cat. House them.
American trads yearns for green walkable town (this, the ideal "christmas town", "small town USA" where kids can bikes to all destinations), yet vigorously fights against its existence in real life.
If this imaginary town got taken over by chuds, they'll widen the road and push the houses away from each other with giant lawns.
For some reason, people want to take vacations in these towns, but never actually live in them. God forbid I don't have enough room to park my family's 6 cars...and who wants a house so close to the street? What if a minority walks past?
In my experience, these places are usually very walkable with ample sidewalks, little to no on-street parking (or metered street parking), and maybe enough driveway/garage space for 2-3 cars total. We may be talking about two different things. The front yards may be small, but usually the backyard is decently sized and there are lots of parks and other recreation areas nearby. Houses will be relatively close to each other (20-30 feet max).
60mph speed limit through there because they can't afford to be late driving to their used car dealership workplace 40 miles away
Why does every streetlight need a flag? Do you need help remembering what country you live in?
In virtually every suburb in LA County every light pole is adorned with a patriotic banner with the name of a troop, the branch of the military they served in, and a patriotic message. In my city it's troop name, branch, and "protecting our freedom." it makes me wanna puke. Is it like that across the states?
We don’t have that but in Texas we double up our weird nationalism and have American and Texan flags at car dealerships, malls, Walmart, churches, gas stations some times, schools, pretty much anywhere they can stick one
Probably? I only went to school here. I just meant literally everywhere has both flags here
yeee. there's also a flying saucer shaped mcdonalds and some "bottomless" lakes, some of which you can swim in and are a pretty blue-green color and others that are super acidic. went swimming in one of em and the other people there were incredibly friendly and offered us beer even though they barely spoke english and we barely spoke spanish. 11/10
i can only recommend it! it's a very fondly remembered stop on an east coast to cali road trip i went on straight outta high school.
No, but we still have a lot of necessary flags everywhere.
I mean there's flags sprinkled around in every town, but that sounds particularly hideous
Boston and some of the suburbs have a ton of "squares" which are just a street corner with some troops name on a sign.
Do you need help remembering what country you live in
I hope not or a lot of people might get confused and think they're in Ukraine
waking up hungover in an upperclass lib neighborhood be like
I think your supposed to replace them with trans flags to stir up a bunch of shit just for fun.
Thomas Kincaid is such a terrible artist. Puzzle-cover looking ass painting.
First thing I thought of when I saw the photo. My mom had a bought a few kinkaid paintings on QVC back in the day. After she died I had to clean the house out and I couldn't give those paintings away and had to toss them in the garbage. I leaned them up against the garbage bin with a FREE sign but no takers.
Unimaginable to get any kind of coherent politics out of this that isnt just pure reactionary gut feeling nostalgia, like what the fuck are you going to get out of this?
All Americans should live like this? Only Americans that live like this matter? White flight, your politics is literally just white flight? Its just nonsense, all you can get out of this is vague mumblings of American values or some shit, but its just cultural dementia, ignoring all of the reasons that things arent like this and cant ever be like this for the majority of Americans.
cant ever be like this for the majority of Americans.
Not sure this poses a problem to the people who wish for this
They won’t see any minorities. That’s their core philosophy and all they want.
Suburbanites wouldn't even like this. Imagine telling them they could have anything less than an enormous front yard that no one is allowed to set foot on.
Also, there's literally neighborhoods of cities that look like this right now. Pretty sure Boston suburbs are just this with more elevation changes, lol.
when i talk about the fascism of sentimentalism, this is what i mean
Fascism is when I see a bad water color of a street covered in flags and think "This would look good on a pair of pants mass produced in Malaysia for below subsistence wages."
