    Trad Wives are Fueling the Alt-Right

    In this episode of Deep Dive, Freya breaks down how the aesthetic world of tradwives acts as a pipeline to far-right ideology. From Nara Smith’s hyper-curated homemaking content to Ballerina Farm’s subtle messaging and Estee C. Williams’ “trad wife final boss” status, Freya establishes how trad wife influencers are reshaping and fueling alt-right narratives, whether they are doing it consciously or not. But it doesn’t stop there. Freya also dives into the billionaire-backed forces behind it, Peter Thiel’s funding of Evie Magazine, and the role podcasters like Joe Rogan play in normalizing and spreading similar alt-right ideas.
