MAGA women want a Hallmark "home for the holidays" fantasy — but their votes run their kids off | analyzing Hallmark Channel Christmas movies and their audience (www.salon.com)

This is actually a great analysis of Hallmark Channel's Christmas movies, and why their plots frequently center on 30-something year old women who abandon their successful big city lives to move back to their home towns and marry the handsome "boy next door." It seems to be a very popular fantasy among the network's primary audience, conservative women aged 50+ (70% of the channel's viewers.)

I'm not really too concerned about gentrification tbh since we're past the point where anything's affordable. I could see the argument when previously cheap neighborhoods were getting made too expensive for the residents to live there, but now you can't find a house in fucking compton, CA of all places for under $500,000 that doesn't have illegal wiring or mold problems, and rural areas and small towns aren't much better either post-covid. we just gotta build and keep it out of the market
