The lottery was all a dream, though, to help her cope with Dan dying. How that is going to be covered since John Goodman is on the show...who knows.

I’ve seen him play a Cyclops Klansman in O Brother Where Art Thou, I’ve seen him play a psycho kidnapper in that Cloverfield sequel, I’ve seen him play a lot of different things, but “Dan is a Trump supporter” might be the most vile role of his career.

Ha! Clooney started on Roseanne!

I know a lot of supposedly “liberal” minded people who smoked pot, were pro union, (supposedly) against racism, and still voted for Trump. It’s not as insane as it sounds.

I get what you’re saying but the first Rosanne led a union-based walk-out at their job, had and supported her lesbian friends, championed a single mother, etc. Not exactly the stuff the Trump supporters hold up high.

One of the kids in the show is going to be gender fluid, I think Darlene’s kid. I have a hard time believing Sara Gilbert would do anything involving cruelty toward trans kids.

Have you not met white people before? Hate strikes have been a thing for a longgggg time. Being “pro-union” or “liberal” doesn’t necessarily lead to being pro-people of color or pro-human decency.

It’s not surprising so much as it is disappointing because it goes against everything Roseanne 1.0 was and what we loved about it. 

Agreed. The original show was about blue collar/working class factory workers gripping about unions being pushed out, etc. In one episode she ran a canvasing politician (probably a repub) off her porch when she brought up the topics of union wages, jobs, etc. However, when the show ended they were lottery winners so…

I don’t know where the hell I’ve been that I had no idea Roseanne is a Trump supporter who tweets Breitbart shit. How can that be? Wtf is wrong with her? Fuck her and her show.

Wait, seriously, that’s the plot line??? Is this an opportunity for Rosanne to get off some zingers about Hillary? And if they’re using the whole “nasty woman” pussy hat thing as something to mock (given what we now know about the direction of the series), this show is doomed. Five episodes, tops.

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.…

Rumor is (and kind of confirmed by press photos from the first episode) that Jackie and Roseanne haven’t talked in year because Jackie was a Hillary supporter and somehow got confused in the voting booth and voted for Jill Stein.

Also, didn’t John Goodman ask to be written out of the show because he couldn’t stand Roseanne Barr? I wonder why he could come back for this?

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…

It’s funny that Roseanne Barr supports Trump when she was against Sarah Palin. Also, I can the Conners being Trump supporters because they would seem to feel working class, white resentment. However, I don’t know if the rest of the cast would sign up for a pro-Trump propaganda show. I would hope that Sara Gilbert…

I am a huge, huge original-recipe “Roseanne” fan. I have seen every episode like 50 times. You could not pay me to watch this revival, especially with the Trumpish BS. 

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

Yes, but Becky 2 will be playing a different character this time around.

Wait...are both Becky 1 and Becky 2 involved in this?
