I really feel like *so* much of our politics right now are centered around why roughly half of white women are comfortable voting for a white supremacist who is also sexist and a drooling idiot.

I don't know why "because roughly half are racist" is such a hard answer for people.
Whiteness brings these women power and privilege. It confers power and privilege to their children from the moment their born.

It's really NOT hard to understand why roughly half of them would rather watch my kids die than force their kids to have to earn it.
Donald Trump did not empower racist white women. Racist white women empowered Trump. Playing the election in their headspace is like trying to hold a pool party in the middle of a volcano.
