Yeah, I’m not sure this is a line of thought we would want to encourage among the current GOPers. This is a group of people who use the threat of Sharia law as a rallying cry while trying to enforce social and legal mores so consistent with Sharia law they’re almost indistinguishable.

Then don’t click on taylor stories. Jez has hated taylor for years and it’s not going to change.

It’s frustrating how many comments here are about how SHOCKED people are that white cishet women as a whole vote solidly Republican. As if it’s some incredible new revelation to the rest of us. Or how they then treat these women as naive victims who have been tricked by the Patriarchy into voting against their own…

Now you know how every group feels

Thank you for pointing that out. It is not just a Bible Belt issue and the Democrats need to understand that. I voted for Clinton and I am as pale as can be, but I live in an area of NJ that bleeds red because rich people.

Women voted for Clinton, but White Women did not. Clinton only got 54% of the female vote because black and latina women almost didn’t vote for Trump at all. This is a national issue.

Catholic women vote democrat?? Where? Genuine question! I was raised Catholic and know plenty of catholic women who are one issue voters, that issue being abortion.

And it’s likely the next generation of this group will vote differently than their mothers and grandmothers.

Anyone who dares to mention what a good ally they are deserves to have their ass handed to them.

53% of white women nationwide voted for Trump. Don’t be so smug.

Senior character artist here... You’re exactly right about what’s going on and why this looks the way it does.

We, latinos, are very few here.

Now can we stop pretending that the Democratic party needs to court the fragile white voter?

That poor horse needs our sympathy, not our scorn.

As a Jew who is not Roy Moore’s attorney, I’d just like to say thanks, black people, for saving our assess. Also, fuck Alabama for the fact that this race was as close as it was.

Just take the W, man. Just take it.

Yes.

I was a political science major, and I have been doing a lot of thinking about what a Jones upset would mean. It’s pretty significant, and requires a fair amount of nuanced thinking. So I apologize in advance if this gets kind of dense and long, but here’s the analysis of someone who studies and thinks about this…
