Dunham said she left the party early and was informed of Clintons loss when a friend called and told her.
The actress wrote that as a result of her support for Clinton throughout her campaign, she received threats and abuse at a level she could never have imagined. However, she remained hopeful that her detractors represented the dying moans of the dragon known as the patriarchy being stabbed again and again in the stomach.
Dunham continued:
We believed that on November 9, theyd be licking their wounds while we celebrated. It is painful on a cellular level knowing those men got what they wanted, just as its painful to know you are hated for daring to ask for what is yours. Its painful to know that white women, so unable to look past their violent privilege, and so inoculated with hate for themselves, showed up to the polls for him, too. My voice was literally lost when I woke up, squeaky and raw, and I ached in the places that make me a woman, the places where Ive been grabbed so carelessly, the places we are struggling to call our own.
In her essay, Dunham predicted it would be too difficult for Clinton supporters to attempt to understand the motivation behind Trumps support, suggesting the task would be best left to strategists and men in offices who need to run the numbers.
It should not be the job of women, of people of color, of queer and trans Americans, to understand who does not consider them human and why, just as its not the job of the abused to understand their abuser, Dunham wrote. Its quite enough work to know about and bear the hatred of so many. Its quite enough work to go on living.

Lena Dunham loves Hillary Clinton. She even did a rap video for her to support her during the election.
Dunham instagrammed a photo of herself after supposedly voting in the New York Primary. Theres a problem with that. In New York, you MUST be a registered member of a specific political party to vote in that partys primary.
According to voting records, Lena Dunham is not registered with ANY party affiliation. So
either she lied about having voted in the primary OR she voted illegally in the primary OR the official records are wrong. You decide.

I think she gave up that idea when she found out that wannabe Canadians now have to complete the “Don Cherry Hockey Training and Fitness Course” first.

I wish her well as a new expatriate.

threats and abuse
The vile clown in the democrat party and all those violent progressives have been calling EVERYONE who is not in their club the most hateful and disgusting things since Reagan. (that's as far back as I remember). And before my birth our brave soldiers were called "baby killers" and "rapists" and spit on by the likes of her when they came back from Viet Nam. Now progressive cities are teaming with signs of "F TRUMP" "KILL TRUMP" "KILL TRUMP SUPPORTERS" held by people burning cars and looting stores. And this fat ugly cow thinks a couple of angry tweets is threatening abuse? Toughen up butter cup. You think we are in a mood to play nice with you anymore? I suggest you go back in your little safe space cocoon with all your precious snow flakes and stay out of our way. You can always create your own fantasy paradise on HBO.
