Reminder: a lot of white women voted for a President who said he grabbed women by the genitals

not as a kid, not while he was drunk, while he was a sober adult. He was caught on audio admitting he did it, as a regular practice as an adult.

And yet a lot of white women voted for him. So I certainly hope that these Republicans who voted for Kavanaugh pay for it at the polls, but my faith in working class white Americans is not what it once was. I hope they prove me wrong.

Assuming the rage we feel, or at least I feel is what everyone—particularly many white women feel, is...optimistic

I wish people would parse this stat. I'm tired of being lumped in with rich white women who vote their pocketbooks.

It’s certain religious white Women, or just ignorant white women as well. It’s hard to be lumped in with them but they’ve always been there. I remove them from my life as far as I canas soon as I identify them.

I'm neither one of those, but I am a white woman. Women can never win because of those women that believe in the gender roles that they were taught growing up, mostly from their church. It's pretty sick.

would be a large number in those regions.

I know that the evangelical women in my family (lots of them) vote however their husbands tell them to vote and tend to vote as single-issue voters (anti-choice). They care about nothing else.

That tracks with the majority of the white women who voted for the circus peanut.

I know women like this too. Seriously, the only thing that seems to concern them is abortion and maybe gay marriage. They are against both of those. It seems like they could be living in a card board box and they'd be happy as long as no woman can get an abortion and gay people aren't allowed to get married. It's interesting how much they are concerned with how other people live their lives. They should take a closer look at themselves. I suppose judging others is a way to avoid taking a good look at yourself. I think these people are secretly miserable and would like to ensure everyone else is equally miserable. Notice also how so many of them seem obsessed with the idea of an apocalypse? You have to be so miserable to like the idea of all life coming to an end.

Say we did away with the completely unfair electoral college. And it was replaced by a popular vote tally for President. Then only white women could vote.

Results?

President Donald Trump!

They think women should be submissive to men, so they are totally cool with all that. It's their meal ticket gig, sort of like prostitution.
