Summary/Abstract: The article undertakes an analysis of the tradwife movement as a contemporary socio-political phenomenon closely linked to right-wing ideology. In the context of the growing popularity of the movement, the text explores how tradwives use social media to formulate and spread beliefs based on conspiracy narratives contextualizing gender ideology as a threat to Christianity and the institution of the family. The tradwife movement is placed in the broader context of extreme and populist right-wing movements, which together produce a coherent narrative about the need to defend traditional values from attack by creating an ideological order in which a conspiratorial vision of reality becomes the foundation of political mobilization. The role of tradwives is shown as part of a broader strategy to push extreme ideas into the mainstream, while highlighting their crucial role not only in demonizing the enemy, but also in offering an alternative to modernity by idealizing their own way of life.
