Roseanne Conner Has Become a Trump Supporter. Just Like Her Creator.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

When last we saw Roseanne Conner, in 1997, the character was sitting alone on that old living room couch, after revealing that her husband, Dan, had died of a heart attack and that all nine seasons of “Roseanne” had been a grief-induced fantasy about her family. (Or something like that.)

Now Roseanne is back, the fantasy is out and Trump is in.

The show’s Emmy-winning star, Roseanne Barr, returns Tuesday night to ABC with a nine-episode revival season. Dan’s back too, once again played by John Goodman, as is daughter Darlene (Sara Gilbert, who is also an executive producer) and much of the original cast.

“Roseanne” was a bona fide trailblazer the first time around, with its focus on blue-collar Americans, its diversity of L.G.B.T. characters, and its star — a woman who did not look or sound like a typical television female lead. The new “Roseanne” is topical in its own ways, starting with Roseanne Conner’s full-throated support for President Trump. Ms. Barr is a Trump backer as well, to the dismay of many fans; she argued on “Jimmy Kimmel” recently that supporting Mr. Trump was critical to keeping Mike Pence from the presidency.

1. Keeping Pence out might be sufficient justification. nt

[Matthew28]

2. On the other hand

Trump advances 70% of his policies including the military ban.

8. She supported trump when he picked pence and over Hillary

16. No it's not. They are the same

3. Didn't she want to run as a "green party" candidate at one time?

She is all over the place with her politics and affiliations over the years (just like the fucking moron). She thought Obama needed to show more "action" so her support for him dropped. Her support for the Moron only as a reason to NOT have a Pence presidency was not thoroughly considered as a valid position in my opinion. You CAN have neither of them by supporting Mueller and the investigation. Pence and Ryan and McConnell all have questionable Russian ties.

6. She went from a fervent anti -Zionist to a fervent Zionist.

She reminds me of Mussolini who went from a Marxist as a young man to a fascist as an older man and believed in both with an equal passion.

5. I havent watched a TV show in over 15 years now

7. She deleted a lot of her more offensive tweets because she knew it would hurt her show.

She's a manipulative piece of work.

[JI7]

10. ABC made her do it in order to do the show again

[DemocratSinceBirth]

11. She said liberals don't like Trump because Trump likes Jews. I saw that one.

I'm sure it was deleted.

[TheBlackAdder]

12. Trump likes Jews! Trump likes Nazis! Gee, doesn't Trump sounds like a swell guy? :-D

[lunasun]

14. They have all been deleted . Great work ABC

[DemocratSinceBirth]

15. I read she is transphobic. I also read she pooh poohs the Me too movement.

I hope her show crashes and burns.
