In reply to the discussion: No, White Women Didn't Vote for Trump [View all]BainsBane
(52,999 posts)40. and that has absolutely nothing to do with voting
as comments here demanding that white women--directed at Democrats--should examine themselves reveal. Obviously Republican voters are happy with their decisions and won't examine why they vote GOP. So that hostility is directed against women here, and because we vote Democrat it's clear it has nothing to do with our voting behavior.
I recall that in 2016 this argument was used by some men to argue that the Democratic party should abandon abortion rights, despite the fact a majority of Americans support them. What it showed is that white men are desperate to get white women back under their thumbs. That is NEVER going to happen.
