I think it may be more than a race thing, it may be because they're not going to suffer the same fate as minority women under Trump. Therefore they don't give a crap. Either way it's an eyeopener.

"White Women Who Enable Trump Do Not Deserve The Benefit Of Your Doubt" [View all] rainlillie Feb 2018 OP

They are racist JI7 Feb 2018 #1

Perhaps.. rainlillie Feb 2018 #4

Your explanation in itself lunatica Feb 2018 #31

Yep.. which is why I said more than. rainlillie Feb 2018 #58

I think theyre more like content in their attachment to CONservatism. BlancheSplanchnik Feb 2018 #17

I think this is the best explanation. The fact is, conservatives enjoy higher turnout rates. kcr Feb 2018 #38

Just had another aha moment... BlancheSplanchnik Feb 2018 #86

Huffpo is clickbait trash n/t kcr Feb 2018 #2

Disagree MFM008 Feb 2018 #3

That's not what I said. kcr Feb 2018 #6

No MFM008 Feb 2018 #19

Either you're trying to make it look like I'm saying something I'm not. kcr Feb 2018 #30

Yep.. every single woman who voted for Trump is the worst IMO. rainlillie Feb 2018 #21

They sure are kcr Feb 2018 #25

I'm suspicious of people who lose their shit rainlillie Feb 2018 #27

The article was very enlightening.. Not trash at all. rainlillie Feb 2018 #7

It's curious how movements like the Women's March, and #MeToo have to be torn down kcr Feb 2018 #9

I don't hear this as tearing down the Women's March or #MeToo Some facts: happy feet Feb 2018 #14

She specifically mentions both in her article. How do you not see it? kcr Feb 2018 #24

This has nothing to do with any of that. rainlillie Feb 2018 #20

Maybe you missed this part: kcr Feb 2018 #22

Disagree. The author is countering a media narrative that ALL women oppose Trump when that's not Yavin4 Feb 2018 #50

I'm only going based on her actual words. kcr Feb 2018 #52

I'd like an answer to this statement of yours... brush Feb 2018 #62

I have no idea how you got that from what I wrote kcr Feb 2018 #63

Ok, I'll got with what you seem to be saying. The writing is not very clear. brush Feb 2018 #72

I see that. I clarified what I meant. Thanks n/t kcr Feb 2018 #78

Seems you jump right in to bash the OP for no good reason. Fact: White women overwhelmingly rainlillie Feb 2018 #57

But fact. Voter turn out is really low. kcr Feb 2018 #61

It has nothing to do with how many turned out on the other side, rainlillie Feb 2018 #65

Well, that's a neat trick. kcr Feb 2018 #68

So, here's a link to an interview with Donna Ferrato not long ago GoneOffShore Feb 2018 #66

Thanks, I'll go read it. rainlillie Feb 2018 #69

Same thing. My response is the same. kcr Feb 2018 #77

Truth. TygrBright Feb 2018 #5

ITA! rainlillie Feb 2018 #15

Your post is such an important lesson that most of Ferrets are Cool Feb 2018 #82

53 percent of the white woman vote went to Trump. It's so, so important to remember that. WhiskeyGrinder Feb 2018 #8

With many notable exceptions, throughout history white women have always aligned themselves EffieBlack Feb 2018 #10

Also, they benefitted mightily from the oppression. Yavin4 Feb 2018 #51

This is sexist. LisaM Feb 2018 #11

I'm tired of the excuses for white women behaving badly EffieBlack Feb 2018 #12

Exactly! rainlillie Feb 2018 #23

No, but it's part of why some of those 53% did. LisaM Feb 2018 #37

It's especially unwise when it comes to voting groups, because it's not accurate kcr Feb 2018 #39

The thread is about white women who voted for trump, not all white women. That's pretty clear. brush Feb 2018 #93

The article isn't, and that's what I was talking about kcr Feb 2018 #95

Come on. 53% means 47% had enough sense and critical thinking skills to not vote for abuser trump brush Feb 2018 #70

Thank you. EffieBlack Feb 2018 #73

Some don't vote at all and not everyone votes in a booth. LisaM Feb 2018 #83

Still with the excuses. We're talking about white women who voted, not all white women. 53%... brush Feb 2018 #87

and a general election is a huge sample size radius777 Feb 2018 #88

Yes. Points well taken. brush Feb 2018 #90

Aaaaannnddd African American women have a charmed, easy life in America? Yavin4 Feb 2018 #53

So true. The first thing people have to do is to stop making excuses rainlillie Feb 2018 #60

They also need to stop claiming to be so impressed with black women's political savvy EffieBlack Feb 2018 #71

LOL! That's true. rainlillie Feb 2018 #76

Not only that EffieBlack Feb 2018 #80

they voted for Trump because they are racist, not because they are Abused JI7 Feb 2018 #91

"These theories that take away free will from women are just silly. " rainlillie Feb 2018 #67

Okay, so now we are all mad at white women too? HopeAgain Feb 2018 #32

NO - just the 53% who voted for Trump EffieBlack Feb 2018 #33

They do deserve every bit of anger they get for it kcr Feb 2018 #35

Not all white women. sheshe2 Feb 2018 #41

Oh please. No one said "white women". The thread is about white women who voted for the racist,... brush Feb 2018 #94

Trump won the White women vote over a White female candidate who may have been the best qualified Yavin4 Feb 2018 #46

Does anyone believe for a second that the "Trump can grab my p-ssy" t-shirt EffieBlack Feb 2018 #64

The article is probably 100% correct, but . . . markpkessinger Feb 2018 #54

You do have a point mvd Feb 2018 #85

i didn't read the article but Trump's "Grab them by the pussy" didn't stop them from voting for him JI7 Feb 2018 #92
