The Left’s Reaction To ‘Roseanne’ Is Dripping With Irony

“Roseanne” made its big comeback last night. Who loved it, and who hated it? Take a guess. Go ahead. Guess.

As you probably know, Roseanne voted for Trump, and her sister Jackie voted for Hillary Clinton. You KNEW things were going to get real when Jackie came through the door wearing a p*ssy hat and “nasty woman” T-shirt.

“What’s up, deplorable?” she asked Roseanne.

Here’s a quick recap via Vanity Fair:

There were a lot of politically charged lines. Like when Roseanne said, “First, let’s say grace. Jackie, would you like to take a knee?” and “Aunt Jackie thinks every girl should grow up and be president—even if they’re a liar, liar, pantsuit on fire.”

And even the premiere includes at least one surprising twist, which comes when Jackie reveals why she’s really so upset with her sister. Apparently, Roseanne railed against Hillary Clinton throughout the run-up to the election: “You kept saying what a disaster it would be if she got elected, and how I wasn’t seeing the big picture and everything was rigged. And then I go into the booth—and I voted for Jill Stein! . . . You did such a good job of making me doubt myself, and feel so stupid that I choked, which helped him get elected.” (Stein, coincidentally, was the candidate who secured the Green Party nomination for president over Roseanne Barr in 2012, who ultimately ran as a member of the Peace and Freedom Party.)

Roseanne’s response to Jackie’s lament was vintage Roseanne: “Well, the important thing is that you voted.”

Eventually, the two reconcile. Jackie, true to form, offers the first mea culpa: “I guess I didn’t mean to imply that you’re some right-wing jackass. I should have tried to understand why you voted the crazy way that you did.” And Roseanne, true to her nature, was even less apologetic: “And I should have understood that you want the government to give everyone free healthcare because you’re a good-hearted person who can’t do simple math.”

Conservatives seemed to love it.

What was depicted in tonight’s episode of #Roseanne is something Folks have heard me on the radio talk about numerous time. You can’t put Trump supporters in a box we’re a reflection of the American landscape. We respect people’s choices we just ask that people respect us too.

#Roseanne premiere wasn’t for the left. It wasn’t for the right. It was for real people.

Loved #ROSEANNE tonight. Perhaps @therealroseanne will cause Deplorables and 🐈 hats to treat each other like equals again. #MAGA

It’s refreshing to have at least ONE show on TV that doesn’t push an anti Trump left wing agenda. Thankful for #Roseanne and her courage to take a lot of heat. Almost every show nowadays is anti Trump, anti American, & totally pushes cultural Marxism.

It’s about time..

Jackie thinks every woman should be president even if they are are liar liar liar pantsuit on fire 😂😂#Roseanne

I can finally watch TV again! What a breath of fresh air not having liberal nonsense shoved down my throat. Great job @therealroseanne !! #roseanne

— The Daily Dish (@TheDailyDish2) March 28, 2018

What a change. #Roseanne is actually a Trump supporter and this show is not an anti American, left wing propaganda show. It’s about time we had at least one show that didn’t hate President Trump, America, & our values.

Thank you @therealroseanne. We appreciate it.

Liberals don’t feel the same way. They’re SO used to running the narrative. They cannot handle the other side FINALLY being represented in a funny way.

For the millionth time we don’t want an inside look at everyday Trump supporters. It doesn’t matter if it’s a #Roseanne reboot or a mainstream media profile. They let their hatred get the best of them, fell for Trump’s con and wrecked our country. There is no other story to tell.

— Adam Best (@adamcbest) March 28, 2018

It looks like most people would disagree with you buddy boy.

I’m already looking forward to when they reboot the cancellation of #Roseanne

— The Hoarse Whisperer (@HoarseWisperer) March 28, 2018

Her voice alone is grounds for failure. Her voice advocating Trumpism is just adding insult to injury. #BanRoseanne

— MsTiffni (@tiffni_altes) March 28, 2018

No thanks #Roseanne If I want to see how a bunch of MAGA chud are livin’ I’ll just turn on CNN.

Was it as awful as I hope it was?

— Hunky Gay Jesus™ (@HunkyGayJesus) March 28, 2018

Ugh Trumptards r everywhere #Roseanne boycott this trumptard

— Darth_NEO (@asteven79) March 28, 2018

I won't watch it again. She was all about trump she disrespected Hillary, I didn't care for it but I watched 1st episode but won't watch anymore. If Rosanne is a Republican show take it off ABC. I watch alot of shows on ABC.

— Sherry Dean 🌊 (@DeansherryS) March 28, 2018

The fact that #Roseanne is a @POTUS supporter means everything. It's funny that it's a "sitcom" yet that's how she is in real life. True believer. Turn that shit off. Enabling ratings to more and more garbage. #Resist

— Maggie Kingman (@catladymag) March 28, 2018

They just can’t STAND the other side finally being represented in any way at all.

It sucks for them, because it sounds like “Roseanne” was a hit. Did you watch? What did you think of the reboot?
