Lena Dunham: Feminists Must Enlighten White Women Who Voted for Trump
Breitbart ^ | 2/10/17 | Pam Key

Posted on 02/10/2017 6:46:11 PM PST by markomalley

Friday on ABC’s “The View,” actress Lena Dunham said being that “a part of feminism” is almost like “being a parent” and that the white women who voted for Donald Trump need to be enlightened “with the rhetoric of self-empowerment.”

Partial transcript as follows:

DUNHAM: I think it’s really important to remember that it is an incredible problem that 53% of women in this country — 53% of white women in this country voted for Donald Trump which means that they’re not only voting against the interests of their sisters, of women who may not look like them, who they may not understand but whose rights are just as important, but also remember that they are in that case voting against their own best interest. To me a part of feminism — it’s almost like being a parent to a teenager where they’re so mad at you, they think you’re such a piece of crap and you’re like, I know you hate me right now but the reason I’m doing this is because I love you and I want us all to be safe.

Soros went from instigating occupy wall street, to ferguson, to trump rioters, to inauguration riots, to now funding all anti trump protests.

Soros is attempting to take down a sitting President and is colluding with the Democrat Party in real time. Soros needs to be arrested as Soros is the Mob.

Lena Dunham is the epitome of why 53% of white women voted for Trump.

Even more than 53% of white women did not vote for Clinton if you count the third party votes cast by white women.

And of course there is no accounting of how many white women simply stayed home rather than vote for Clinton or Trump. They might not have liked Trump but they did not like Clinton either and probably don’t like women like Dunham either.

Bottom line, Clinton (and Dunham and her ilk) do not appeal to a huge and important segment of women.

Thanks for the education, I looked it up, and this nasty thing certainly appears to be a pedophile. But really, she’s a diehard rat/commie Clinton supporter, so there’s no real surprise here.

And yes, she’s Chelsea ugly.

They worship thus incest rapist witch like she’s this queen of morality. I watched one of her interviews today, they think she is so cool.

Her show is disgustingly pornographic and yet they all need a fainting couch because Trump joked about how a lot of women like powerful men and allow them to just grab the P and they don’t care.

I do have that feeling about a dumb, hateful teen who doesn’t know what is what. Only it isn’t Trump voters. It’s idiots like Schumer, who, by the way, is also white, who have been told Trump is hateful in order to control these idiots. And they parrot it obediently even though it is a lie.

Dunham could stand ‘enlightening’ by a hundred pounds or so.

This site https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/clinton-couldnt-win-over-white-women/ has the white women vote broken down to:

Clinton 43%

Trump 53%

That means that 6% of white women voters voted 3rd party. So overall 59% of white women did not vote for Clinton. This is huge and it's not talked about at all.

Why. Why do we have to see these pictures. No. This should not be.

Dunham’s a dang blamed racist for assuming that the only ladies who voted for Trump were “white”. Can’t wait to hear Diamond and Silk on this!

Interesting you say that ... I'd never actually seen her before so I clicked over to the View to watch the segment. I couldn't put a finger on it, but I think you're close or even right. It's weird to see a narcissistic mentally retarded person ... no one has ever given her legitimate feedback - there is no honest mirror in her life. She's unthougtful, not funny, not original, boring and uncharismatic and not pleasant to look at, but not ugly enough to be of any note. You feel kind of sorry for her, and yet she holds all the hosts PC hostage. they don't seem to like her ... they seem to be mildly patronizing and putting up with her on the show, but she doesn't get it. In a way its cruel that the world lies to her ... she seems far too simple to even have a choice about whether she's part of a religious cult.

It seems like many conservatives hate her ... I just feel kind of sorry for her. It's like when the football star dates the ugly girl on a dare or to be cruel.

Look, Lena, 8 years of “white people suck” isn’t going to be overcome by a little re-education or a scolding from some brain-dead celebrity. Your side has a real problem here and you’re in denial.

Pretty sad when Joyless Behar is the rational one
