Summary
House Speaker Mike Johnson erupted after failing to block a bipartisan proxy voting bill allowing parental leave for lawmakers.
Despite once voting by proxy himself, Johnson called it “unconstitutional,” revealing GOP resistance to family-friendly policies.
Critics say this aligns with Trump-era efforts to push women out of public life, consistent with Project 2025’s goal of restoring “traditional families.”
Johnson’s move, including canceling House activity, exposed the contradiction in the GOP’s “pro-family” stance and highlighted deeper hostility to workplace flexibility and women’s equality.
“Family Values” has always been code for “Women are Cattle”

I was referencing the parts of the bible that cover animal husbandry and include how to manage women in the same section as the farm animals.
They’re both basically the same word.
“Anything that doesn’t serve my fascist agenda is unconstitutional.”
They’re never gonna restore “traditional” families if they never support a family being able to actually survive on a single income.
That’s how you can tell they lying about their goals.
Is this the guy that’s on Grindr?
If women are supposed to be in the kitchen, why are most short order cooks men? Checkmate…
Restoring traditional families
Always means women can’t think or speak, and black people work their fields in chains
When they say pro-family it seems like they mean pro-huaband and maybe pro-kids
This gay boy is miserable
So many years of not being honest with oneself.
Serious question: They want all immigrants deported, illegal or not doesn’t seems to matter any more. Those “aliens” do the work that the white nobility wouldn’t do in the first place. Then they sent women back into the kitchen which will easily cut another 30% of the work force, probably much more. And then the tariffs are supposed to bring back manufacturing jobs (that said white nobility doesn’t want to do in the first place). How do they think this is gonna work? cut the majority of your workforce and increase the demand of labor all while preventing higher salaries.
Prison labour
Slave labor.
Cool, so that means you should also have one car that might last 5 years, no cellphones, computers, and back to radio shows only. You can only live and breathe your job with little to no entertainment.
Yeah, it’s great living in the past isn’t it?
You can only live and breathe your job with little to no entertainment.
Not to diminish your point, but back then they still had (often walkable) “third places.” That included social clubs – think the freemasons, shriners, the “water buffalo lodge” from the Flintstones (since that what Millennials and younger are most likely to be familiar with), etc. They also knew their neighbors a lot better than we typically do today: most houses had substantial front porches generating ad-hoc conversions with people walking by, they more frequently had block parties, etc.
TL;DR: they got a lot of their entertainment though actual in-person human interaction.
