The Guardian ^ | Fri 9 Nov 2018 | Moira Donegan

For the past two years, the American left has been haunted by a number: 53. It is the percentage of white women who voted for Donald Trump in the 2016 presidential election.

a reflection of the conventional wisdom that white women would rather choose the racism espoused by the Republican party than join in the moral coalition represented by men of color and other women.


I would rather join a pack of rabid pit bulls than your "moral coalition".

Some white women have white sons and see how they are treated. Guilty from the start. The American education system brainwashes youth, generally people grow wiser as we age. Democrats continue to build walls and fences except where one needs to be!

It is the ill informed 47% that needs reclaiming. Enough with their phony morals preening. Try raising children, keeping a husband, working a job, and living in a real community.

What in heaven’s name would lead the author to believe that it’s in white women’s best interest to vote for Democrats?

White American women don’t want to live in a Venezuela, Cuba, Western Europe.

The Guardian is far left. They assume more government is the answer to all of life's problems.

Here's your answer.


I remember how my male friends in college - all die-hard liberal Democrats - were so passionate about the "PRO-CHOICE" movement, because they "cared about women."


The same guys, over the years, who screwed 'em, knocked 'em up, and threw 'em away.


Is it any wonder women with a lick of sense prefer to vote - and marry - Republican?

Sorry. I'll pass on the pussy hats and voting with my vagina.

The radical hags running the matriarchal clap-trap hate everything and everyone who doesn't agree with their ugly cant.

Self-hating, profane baby killers are going to get a rude comeuppance if they try to get it on with a bunch of conservatives.

It’s called “sanity.”

Nothing.

What is wrong with the other half who continue to vote against their self interests just so they can feel “trendy” and “hip”?

“The truth is that the 53% of white women who voted for Trump in the last presidential election was actually an improvement on even worse numbers from previous cycles. White women supported Mitt Romney at 56% in 2012, and supported George W Bush by 55% in 2004. Even these robust showings by Republican white women were down from their previous highs: Ronald Reagan won a staggering 62% of white women in 1984. All of these totals were lower than those for white men, who continue to support Republicans at alarming rates, but they were solid majorities nonetheless.”

It’s a downward slope, pretty grim.

Race is EVERYTHING to them, doncha know?
And, pray tell, when did using terms that identify a person solely by the color of their skin stop being TOTALLY racist?

“The same guys, over the years, who screwed ‘em, knocked ‘em up, and threw ‘em away.”

I saw that happen over an over again with friends and co-workers in the ‘70s. They were single mothers juggling an impossible life with kids, babysitters, not able to give 100% at work leaving others to pick up their slack when children were ill, scrimping financially with no help from the babies’ fathers. Husbands also walked away from the families; it wasn’t just boyfriends.

That’s when I decided to remain childless. You can control what you do, but you can’t make someone not leave you and his kid(s).
