[QUOTE="Frank Underwood, post: 114332, member: 35"] The Roseanne revival has created quite a firestorm in the media due to Roseanne being a Trump supporter. Many conservatives seem to love it, although I've seen a few who think it's disguised leftist propaganda. Their reasoning is that Roseanne supported Trump for his economic proposals, as opposed to the culture wars. And, of course, there's the fact that her grandson wears girls clothes on the show. I happen to know Trump supporters like the Connors. Many of them are open minded, but felt betrayed by Dems who didn't fight for them. Of course, the establishment media on the left treats the show in a rather condescending fashion. I don't think the revival is perfect, but the political aspect is far less pervasive than the media lets on. Still, MSNBC host Ari Melber interviewed Sandra Bernhard (Roseanne's friend Nancy on the show), and asked her why white women voted for Trump. Unfortunately, she gave the same answers Hillary Clinton herself has said. She claimed that these women were either influenced by the men in their lives or they felt inadequate compared to Hillary. I find people who parrot those excuses to be incredibly tone deaf. Does Roseanne strike anybody as the type of woman who would do what a man told her? She's a wealthy woman, stand up comic, and her revived hit tv show is a hit again. Does anybody think she feels inadequate to Hillary? Of course not. Imagine if the genders were reversed, and a man claimed that men who voted for Hillary did so because their wives pressured them too. He would be labeled a sexist and people would do everything in their power to see he never worked again. I actually think it's great that Roseanne is forcing people to have a conversation about why people voted the way they did, but some of the responses are condescending and miss the mark.
