If "solidarity" meant anything Roseanne would have it for Hillary and all other #
Disclosure: Here's *all* I know about Roseanne:
* I found her hilarious AND FINE FEMINIST as stand-up comedian Roseanne BARR, with CARSON/yadda yadda;
* I sampled the original series & soon tuned out.
* I thought her "acting" and mostly the rest of the show to be yuck.
* When Candice BERGEN won awards over her, she said she could out-act Candice who had "a stick up her ass." Fine/maybe.
* Roseanne was never a big deal for me but was *legitimate* in my cultural "firmament" ( to use a Lawrence OLIVIER word).
* I didn't find her with Tom to be enticing, didn't care about their whatever drug/mental-impairment diagnoses.
* I was/am disgusted about her SHITLER Deplorableness.
* I'm blank/moderately-upset over GOODMAN/GILBERT/CHALKE joining into the current reboot. They don't need the cash.
But back to my original point: Her or any member of an oppressed demographic turning into wingnut ZOMBIES, am just FLUMMOXED.
Here's from a much superior thinker and writer:

If anyone on the show would become a Trump supporter, it would have been Jackie.
BY DAN FISHBACK
.... Roseanne never identified with her oppressors the way working class white Trump voters identify with Donald Trump and his cabinet of billionaires. Whether it was her abusive father, her exploitative foreman, her condescending boss, or any of the wealthy people she encountered, Roseanne Conner neither trusted them, nor did she make excuses for them.
If anyone in Roseanne’s world demonstrated the psychology of a Trump voter, it would be her sister Jackie. Though rendered in the reboot as a hysterical Hillary supporter, it was Jackie who was vulnerable to the charisma of demagogues and the false protection of violent male authority. She idolized her abusive father and made excuses for the boyfriend who beat her. When she wanted to seize ownership of her life, she joined the police department, taking solace in being an instrument of state violence. Jackie demonstrated the emotional patterns of someone who could look at Donald Trump and say, “Well, maybe he could help me!” ....
In the Roseanne reboot, Barr decides to play a calm, reasonable Trump voter, relegating the role of Hillary supporter (sic: The character said she voted for Jill STEIN) to Metcalf, who, true to her character’s emotional precedent, portrays Jackie as weak and incapable of making strong decisions on her own. ....
It seemed to come out of nowhere. Only a few years beforehand, Barr was still solidly on the left in most respects. She regularly expressed solidarity with Palestine, and talked about going on a flotilla to bring humanitarian aid to Gaza. She boldly said, “The Jewish soul is being tortured in Israel” in response to Israeli violence against Palestinians. Then, seemingly overnight, she was sharing tweets likening Islam to Nazism and tweeting that the BDS-supporting student government of UC Davis should be “nuked.” She turned on a dime from one position to another. We all watched this happening and asked, “Why? Why? Why?” ....
