After more than 20 years, “Roseanne” was back on the air Tuesday night, and Roseanne Barr’s character Roseanne Conner has become a Trump supporter, while her sister Jackie is anything but. That friction meant that a word Hillary Clinton made notorious in 2016 got a big shoutout in the first few minutes of the show:
what's up, deplorable? #roseanne

Roseanne and her sister Jackie traded barbs that sound very familiar:
What's up, deplorable?
Nothing much, snowflake.????????

OMG I just fell over when I saw Jackie in her Nasty Woman shirt & pink pussy hat!
"What's up deplorable!" ???

The Hillary Clinton attitude towards those who didn’t vote for her was well represented on the show:
"What's up, Deplorable?" LMAO! Jackie in her P#ssy hat! ??? #Roseanne

Hillary will now have you investigated for collusion.

Even though the show seemed to be getting mostly bipartisan positive reviews on Twitter, obviously not everybody found it amusing:
I wouldn't have watched anyway but this makes it sure I won't. We are all living with trumpers in our families. Don't need to see it on the TV. #Roseanne

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.

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

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.
