Roughly half of white women didn't vote for Trump. Lumping them all together is pretty disingenuous, yet we see it often.

As you noted, even half is pretty inexplicable, but that doesn't mean the other half should be subject to guilt by association.

Not all white women voted for trump. [View all] onecaliberal Jan 2020 OP
Actually, most of them probably didn't. Downtown Hound Jan 2020 #1

So, you are willing to write off the 50% (or more) of white women who DID NOT/DO NOT support him? hlthe2b Jan 2020 #20
I don't write anyone off - they do WhiteTara Jan 2020 #23
Obviously you write off all non-POC on DU as well? Keep it up. We really want to know hlthe2b Jan 2020 #25
you think that half of Dem/Progressives are racist? WhiteTara Jan 2020 #29
I certainly do not. It is YOU who just wrote off all white women voters that do NOT support Trump hlthe2b Jan 2020 #30
I think you entirely misunderstood WhiteTara Jan 2020 #37
That may be your intent. That is NOT what you wrote. hlthe2b Jan 2020 #44
