My problem is with people who voted for Trump. Black, white, male, female and Caitlyn Jenner.

This is the definition of identity politics and clickbait, as someone pointed out above.

"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

You have a very low bar for losing one's shit mythology Feb 2018 #42

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

You do realize a lot of people here would vote for a guy mythology Feb 2018 #47

The differences being, among other things ... EffieBlack Feb 2018 #81

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

No They Dont colsohlibgal Feb 2018 #16

Neither can I. I really can't get my mind around it. smirkymonkey Feb 2018 #56

"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
