Fighting hard to retain women’s rights in America, 50 years later AOC verified a factoid that was very true until the rise of Trump and MAGA in the 2016 election. The lowest divorce rates and happiest marriages were between more conservative men [not reactionary, just more conservative] and liberal woman.

In today’s political climate, it seemed wise to revisit that research, thinking that perhaps Anne made up that factoid with her vivid imagination. Not true.

For all the online verbal abuse white liberal women, in particular, take from all sides in 2026 America, not only were tradwives not the ideal wifey, traditionally-successful men strongly preferred and married liberal women.

Revisiting those marriages decades later, the research held solid. It was this pairing that had the lowest divorce rate in America with men reporting the highest degree of happiness and satisfaction with their wives. Then MAGA rode into town.
