Bottom line, some people have zero self awareness. Good old Roseanne and Dan kind of fit in that category in my mind.

I could totally see the Connors being Trump supporters. I have some family that is so similar to the Connor blue collar thing who are Trump supporters. I have an uncle who sent my mom (EXTREMELY LIBERAL) an article about how we need to make people who get government assistance work for their money. Keep in mind my…

A lot of white union folks were Trump supporters. The union hierarchy stuck with the Democrats, but a lot of their members did not.

20 years of non-stop, right-wing, Fox news propaganda has damaged a lot of people’s perception of the world.

And she likes weed. She used to like gay people. Her tv daughter is gay. She used to call herself a feminist. I don’t understand this at all.

I didn’t know either. And the sad thing is Trump would probably despise a woman like her—she’s loud, opinionated, and doesn’t look like a beauty pageant contestant. Not to mention the fact that his administration wants to take away the Medicare and Social Security that Roseanne and her husband would surely be…

Roseanne Conner was blue collar, sure. But one mention of grabbing any woman by the pussy and she would have laid you out. Not believing this storyline for a minute.

Roseanne and Dan could have easily been disgruntled Bernie supporters and still made the same point about families being divided by politics. This Trump mess isn’t trying to make things realistic, it’s plot point that they probably had to add to get Roseanne Barr involved.

It’s historically ignorant A-holes who think that ‘blowing up the whole system’ is a great idea. They are too lazy to think or research a bit and don’t realize that ‘blowing up the whole system’ usually results in about 35 years of complete disaster and then another 30+ of maybe improving from disaster in a gradual…

Exactly. Blow up the system = Anarchy. I am neither strong enough nor fast enough to survive anarchy, and I don’t have the wealth to buy my way to some other country where rich people don’t think it’s fun to reenact survival of the fittest with those who can’t get out.

Roseann explains her support of Trump as being that he “upsets the status quo.” She has never actually walked back on any of the progressive policies she supported back in 2010 or when she was pro-Obama. She just feels that Trump is going to blow up a system she see’s as corrupt.

Remember that episode where she finds out her 7 year old son is racist and she goes on a big quest to find out who he learned it from only to learn he got it from her? This is like the meta version of that.

Which is weird, because the original Rosanne seemed to be more on the liberal side. I mean, she led a union-based walkout at the plant, dealt with the issue of a single mom, had a friend who was a lesbian, etc. I’m not saying all those issues makes someone a progressive, but she choose to include them in her show.…

I wonder how much time Roseanne Conner will devote to transphobia, as well? I figured the reboot was going to be flavorless pap, but now it sounds like she’s going to make it actually repulsive, and so I’m forced to wonder how many of her terrible views are going to be shoehorned into this DOA turd?

So will plot lines include things like Dan & their group of friends getting laid off, losing health insurance, and watching the town waste away due to a mushrooming opioid crisis the administration routinely sweeps aside—all accurate reflections of “our/Trump’s” society? All of that and TWO Beckys?! Television gold,…

I really don’t think that Roseanne as she was written back in the 90’s would have been a Trump supporter. She was an unabashed feminist, a huge supporter of gay rights (she threw a gay marriage), had loads of friends from other racial backgrounds and had a healthy distrust of wealthy people. They didn’t present her as…

“And, in fact, it was working-class people who elected Trump...”

Even though it’s inaccurate, I’m not surprised Roseanne is taking the rich vs. poor approach here. That’s a lot easier conversation to have than rich white people vs. non-white people, which is what Trump is really about. She’d rather talk about ghost towns in middle America and shrinking blue collar paychecks than if…

Yep. Becky 1 is Becky and Becky 2 is now Andrea, a surrogate having a baby for Becky 1.

These have to be the end times.
