"Not happy to have to #BoycottRoseanne."

When Roseanne returns to ABC in March, it returns with the revelation that the titular character voted for Donald Trump.

"I've always tried to have it be a true reflection of the society we live in. Half the people voted for Trump and half didn't. It's just realistic," star Roseanne Barr, who is an outspoken Trump supporter in real life, said on Monday.

Executive producer Bruce Helford added that Roseanne's husband Dan (John Goodman) "didn't necessarily" vote for Trump, ("I don't think he voted," he said.) while Jackie (Laurie Metcalf) was pro-Hillary Clinton.



John Goodman and Roseanne Barr star in the Roseanne revival series.

Barr went on to note that the show in its original run always set out to explore working class people, and many working-class people voted for Trump. Additionally, she said that she is not a "Trump apologist" and there are things he has done that she doesn't agree with.

"No one is brainwashed into being in agreement 100% with [anyone]," Barr said.

But not everyone is pleased with the decision to have Barr play a Trump supporter on TV.

"I won't be watching," commented one fan on the show's official Instagram account. "This was my all-time favorite TV show and you're tainting its legacy and ruining it with political bulls**t. There's no redeeming a racist, homophobic, misogynistic, ignorant, dangerous hate-mongering "President" no matter what your blue collar angle or justification is.

Added another, "I was really excited about this until I read that Roseanne’s character will be portrayed as a Trump supporter."

Dozens of other fans sounded off on Twitter.

Still, others took issue with the boycott and threw their support behind Barr instead.

Executive producer Whitney Cummings said that sometimes you have to vote for what you think of the "lesser of two evils" when you're poor. She cited some of her own family members who were on opposite sides of the election because they just needed jobs, and that was what Trump was promising.

The revival explores the idea of the Connor family voting for the same reason, immediately in the premiere episode.

"I did not want it to overshadow the show," Barr said of her real-life politics, which recently often presented as Tweets supporting Trump. Instead, she is just no longer on the social media platform, having had her password taken away by her son.

She did add that she thinks she would be a better president than Oprah Winfrey, Susan Sarandon -- and possibly even Trump himself -- and reminded critics she did run for office in 2012.

She also said the reason she did not vote for Clinton "was because of "Haiti."

"I think it's time to close ranks, and I would really like to see an end to hatred in this country," Barr concluded.

"Part of what's going on is that people feel like they can't disagree and still love each other or still talk to each other. So to me it was a great opportunity to have a family divided by politics but still full of a lot of love," Gilbert said. "The working class has been underrepresented in politics and on television, and this just felt like a wonderful opportunity to give a voice to some of those people."
