More than half of white women who voted voted for trump. Only ~53% of white women voted at all, so about 28% of white women voted for trump

Another way to add those numbers is to say 75% of all white women didn't vote for Harris. We can twist stats all day long to try and blame someone, but the reality is that Americans are thirsty for something and Trump promised it to them. Harris failed to read the room. Society is hurting and authoritarianism is a bottle of liquor; you know it's not the best choice but at least it feels good if nobody is going to give you populism.

And the other 47% made a choice of inaction. They and the rest of us all get to deal with the consequences of that.
