(8,284 posts)As far as white women: Trump is a misogynist sexist pig. Not long after he took office, there was the Me Too Movement, we saw some powerful men fall. After his inauguration, women came out in droves to protest. We saw record numbers of women running for office. I think there has been this building expectation over the last four years, that there would be this resounding repudiation by women when the time came when trump would be up for re-election. It seems that what happened, did not live up to expectations.
It is with this in mind, that I think attention is being paid to white women voters. Is it sexist? YES!! It shouldn't just be up to women to reject sexism and misogyny. It was up to white men to reject it as well as reject racism
But as I said in the title. People vote for the party that aligns with their values.
Therefore, if your values include "pro life", being against LGBTQ, if you are concerned that those "others" will diminish your opportunities, or your children's opportunities, you are going to vote for the party that best aligns with those values.
Likewise if you believe that Govt should do something about climate change, racial justice, making sure higher education is affordable, you will vote for the party that aligns with those values.
