She followed up with this tweet: ‘do not expect to hear anything more from me. Its a waste of time to oppose fascists here. bye!’
And lastly: ‘the only way to WIN is not to play the game and I will not play.’
These announcements came after a slew of responses Roseanne made to liberals who were opposed to her support of Donald Trump.
‘4 those who wonder-back in the day when I was called a “liberal” by journalists, I used to answer-“I’m not a Liberal, I’m a radical” & I still am-I voted Trump 2 shake up the status quo & the staid establishment,’ she tweeted on Wednesday.

She followed with the tweet: ‘Trump is fighting pedophiles and he likes Jews-that infuriates some people.’
And she tweeted that fans of Hilary Clinton have threatened her on Thursday: ‘have you been threatened by fans of HRC? Tell us about it-#MeToo’
Roseanne has been a critic of Democratic nominee Clinton for some time.
In her 2016 documentary Roseanne for President she stated ‘People in this country are not allowed to say anything except for that they love Hillary, or they’ll be harassed, especially on social media, until they leave or hang their head in shame.’
Sitcom stars: Sara Gilbert, 42, Roseanne and John, both 65, also appeared in a new still released on Tuesday by ABC ahead of the forthcoming revival
‘Because if you don’t endorse Hillary, then you’re anti-American, a racist, a sexist, or whatever names her robots throw around.’
Later she told The Hollywood Reporter ‘We should be so lucky if Trump won, because then it wouldn’t be Hillary.’
When the reboot was announced, Roseanne tweeted: ‘Of course I want to do a reboot of Roseanne-new political reality in our country will make for some great jokes!’
Meanwhile, ABC has revealed Roseanne will be back on screen on March 27 in an hour-long episode titled Twenty Years To Life.

A new picture of the entire cast was also released, with Roseanne and John Goodman as parents Roseanne and Dan Connor on set in the living room of their home surrounded by their extended family.
The snap includes their now grown children; Michael Fishman as D.J; Sara Gilbert as Darlene; Alicia Goranson as Beccy and Laurie Metcalfe as Roseanne’s sister Jackie.
Beccy was also played by Sarah Chalke and she was featured in the new image, although her role has yet to be revealed.
Johnny Galecki, 42, was not in the shot but he will reprise his role as Darlene’s boyfriend then husband David Healy for one episode after being loaned from his hit CBS show The Big Bang Theory.
The eight-episode revival poses something of a problem for the screenwriters.
John, 64, will reprise his starring role as father Dan, despite the fact that he died of a heart attack in the season nine finale.
The episode ending the original run was titled Into That Good Night and aired on May 20, 1997, wrapping the show that kicked off in 1988.

Earlier this week, ABC released a still showing Darlene and Roseanne sitting at the top of a bed while Dan knelt at the end facing them in an episode titled Dress To Impress.
Roseanne was lauded for tackling groundbreaking issues that had not been addressed previously on network television sitcoms.
The main protagonist was a working mother in a blue-collar family. It also featured gay characters coming out.
