In reply to the discussion: No, White Women Didn't Vote for Trump [View all]Hekate
(90,829 posts)46. Thank you, Babylonsister
So, 47% of white women voted for Trump, as did 62% of white men.
While it gags me that anybody in their right mind could ever vote for Trump, the fact remains that if you are going to beat one gender about the head and shoulders, it should not be on the basis that over half of white women voted for Trump.
Ive mentioned once or twice or maybe a dozen by now that I have had it up to my teeth with that canard. Left-wing opinion writers, as Chait refers to them, should be asking why significantly fewer women than men voted for Trump; or put another way, why significantly more men than women did so.
