Two things:
1) You might not be able to comprehend it, because you dropped the word "white" from your sentence. Put it back in, and it becomes easier to comprehend.
"What I cannot comprehend is why a large number of *white* women would vote for somebody that is obviously against women's rights in general, but for white nationalist policies."
A large number of Black women *do not* vote for somebody that is obviously against women's rights in general, but for white nationalism.

2) Consider all of these questions
* Why do so many white women vote for someone that is clearly against women's rights?
* Why do so many people with undocumented relatives, vote for someone promising mass deportation of the undocumented?
* Why do so many Ukrainian Americans, vote for someone that promises to force Ukraine to stop defending itself?
* Why do so many Indian Americans, vote for someone that promises to install an immigration head that wants anti-Indian policies?

The answer of course is that many people want fascism for the groups that they don't like, but compassion for themselves.🤷🏿♂️
Each of these groups thinks that they will be able to unleash a face-eating leopard on others, but train it to not eat their face.

What I see is not somebody being right. I see somebody verbally attacking me and misrepresenting what I said.
I stand by what I said: "What I cannot comprehend is why a large number of women will vote for somebody who is obviously against women's rights."
If anyone thinks they can explain that without resorting to personal attacks I will listen. But that doesn't mean I will ever think it was sensible for those women to vote away their own rights.
It seems your take on this is that those women think that they are not giving away their own rights and it's only women of other races who will lose their rights.
That line of thought leads me to one important question: Can a white woman in Texas have an abortion?
If the answer is no, then some rights of white women have already been voted away. If the answer is yes, then the law is enforced selectively, which would be an interesting story for the media to cover.

But a majority of white women vote against women's rights because they get white supremacy along with it, and they think it is worth the trade
That's a scary thought. Can it really be true that there are over 30 million women who are so racist that they are willing to give away their own freedom to get white supremacy?
