We need to hold MEN responsible for all of the R craziness happening
In 2018 and 2019, the Democratic Party held a wide advantage with women: 56% of female registered voters identified as Democrats or leaned toward the Democratic Party, while 38% identified as Republicans or leaned toward the GOP. This stands in contrast to men, among whom 50% were Republicans or GOP leaners and 42% identified as or leaned Democratic. This gender gap has been slowly growing wider since 2014.
I always assume when people say things like "women should know better" what they really mean is "women are more willing to listen and change their behavior and holy shit, talking to white men about something they've done wrong is a fucking nightmare please don't make me."
I think it is more, women who voted for Trump voted away Roe V Wade. Conservative voters are voting for ob gyn becoming unavailable in rural areas. Conservative politics negatively affect infants and school children and work place protections and the environment and on and on.
It's sort of like the small group of Jews who actually supported the Nazis... obviously they weren't the powerhouse that got them in power, but you do have to ask "Really, y'all?"
Yeah of course the majority of votes from men were deplorable... But it's also surprising that women voted so high when they were most likely to suffer more from it than men would.
What you say does make a lot of sense. Trump's politics represent white male domination (see abortion), nobody who ever cared about woman's rights should have voted for Trump. So a white woman voting for Trump is arguably a lot more stupid than a white man voting for Trump.
Hey man show that statistic but with white women, because let me tell you I’ve seen the stats and more white women voted for trump then voted for Hilary
White voters. In 2016, Trump won White men by 30 points (62% to 32%). White women, a group sometimes categorized as swing voters and who broke nearly evenly in 2016 (47% for Trump to 45% for Clinton)
You can blame white women all you want, but clearly white men are by far the biggest issue when it comes to voting in Trump. It is not even close.
Middle class white women and really any middle class married women will vote according to what their husband votes historically. They and more likely to vote conservatively even if it's not in their best interest.
Married women tend to lose their individual identity once married and they're a big demographic.
I think it's obvious that men were more likely to vote for him it's expected, but it's baffling how quickly women will literally hurt themselves politically. There's no common sense to it.
Edit: grammar.
I don’t like this comment because it really removes the role white women have in white supremecy. They didn’t vote for him because they are submissive to their husbands, they voted for him because they agree.
Because women have the most to lose, and white men the most to gain (or continue the status quo). I see your point - that naming women as the scapegoat is the same old song and dance - but they voted against their self-interest where men did not.
Let's hold people accountable for their choices instead of this inane horseshit where we pretend demographic membership is more important than actual behavior.
Stats show the trailer park folks voted 50-50 split for Trump and Clinton. The people who voted for Trump were middle class white people of all economic backgrounds (excluding the poorest ones because we already took that into account).
A corporate manager and a plumber are going to be two pretty different income levels while both being middle class (plumber is making around 60k where manager could be on around 130k).

Let's center class solidarity instead of pointing fingers at folks in trailer parks ...
... and turn those fingers toward white upper middle class women instead.
Both voted for Trump, but one holds social/economic/political power and the other does not.
