(1,431 posts)Do you reject that result too? Or just the 55% result for white women? These numbers are essentially the same. Slightly more than half of all white men and women supported trump.
If you do reject the exit poll result then where did trumps votes come from? He got the 2nd most votes in history in the highest turnout election in 120 years (according to election night estimates).
No, the answer is white people love trump. There is virtually no difference between white men and white women in their support for trump. Stop trying to give white women a pass for their trump support.
White women that support trump are not voting against their interests any more than "the white working class" vote against their interests when they vote republican in general. For emphasis: YOUR INTERESTS ARE NOT THEIR INTERESTS. These people vote for systemic racism. They vote for anti-abortion laws. They hate the things you love. That IS their interest. You don't convince them by telling them the other guy is actually the guy that supports their interests. You can only convince them if you change their interests.
