Showing Original Post only (View all)WTF....I mean.... white women....WTAF!! [View all]
55% of white women voters voted for trump this election.
That's more than the 52% of white women voters who voted for trump in 2016.
WTF... just WTF!?
I - foolishly - expected that white women would see trump's misogyny, his hatred of ANYthing that women seem to value, and his boorishness, and reject him soundly.
Am I such an idealist and feminist supporter that I don't recognize that white women can vote against their own interests... even when it's so blatant?

Evangelical protestant women is my guess. They voted against a woman's right to choose.

That was only election day polls, so that's mostly Reps, so 45% of them didn't on election day?
