“It felt like someone died. It felt like a combination of the heartbreak and betrayal you feel when someone you love more than anything leaves you, and also a death. I feel that way every morning; I wake up and say, “Oh, wait, Donald Trump is still the president,” and it wasn’t a bad dream that I had. It feels like women betrayed us. The percentage of women who voted for Trump was insanely high.”
When asked why she feels women are to blame: “Women hate women. That’s what I think it is. Women’s nature is not to support other women. It’s really sad. Men protect each other, and women protect their men and children. Women turn inward and men are more external. A lot of it has do with jealousy and some sort of tribal inability to accept that one of their kind could lead a nation.”
– Madonna, on her feelings about how we ended up with Trump as President.
I also blame a lot of the white-privileged Bernie-or-bust folks who refused to vote for Hillary even when Bernie asked you to.
I do believe there is same-gender envy/hatred/jealousy or whatever you want to add with women, but as Phil pointed out in his comment, Hillary was just one of two turds that came rising up to the top of the voting pool. The moment the democrats picked a neoliberal demon instead of Bernie, the game was over. It will be interesting to see if the dems can flush the neoliberal (old Reagan republicans) out of the party. I have little hope for real progressive change in the next four years from the party. Meanwhile, let the Trump games begin and let those that voted for him…..feel the BERN!!
She has a point. Saw several average women interviewed talking about how they just didn’t think a woman should be in the White House, whether it was Hillary or not. It’s bizarre.
Oh boohoo. If the Democrats wanted to win, they should have picked Bernie. Hillary had too much h baggage with her. It has nothing to do with women, it’s all on Clinton.
