Donald Trump’s 2016 election win may have been propelled by white working-class men, but another key group in that narrowest of victories was white women with college degrees.

“I really failed my fellow American citizens,” said Claudia Luckenbach-Boman. “I’m extremely disappointed in myself, and sometimes I am really afraid to talk about it.
“If I were to vote again for Donald Trump in 2020, it would be just as much a failure as an American, but also a failure as a human being.”
...
“It was just a few months into his presidency that I realized the biggest mistake I could have made as an American citizen was not informing myself,” Luckenbach-Boman said.
“I started hearing that the economy was great. And I started looking more into that, and I realized that the economy is great for the 1%, and for the people who aren’t really working to make the country function on a day-to-day basis.
“I watched a lot of people in my life who still support Trump still flounder in finances.”
Despite her regret, Luckenbach-Boman said that vote had “changed her life”. She decided to focus on politics at college, and has worked on two campaigns to register voters this year.
She will vote for Biden in Michigan – another key swing state Trump narrowly won in 2016 – and harbors hopes of one day running for elected office.

“I just want to apologize to the world,” said Julie, a fraud manager from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, who asked that the Guardian not use her real name.
“I feel so guilty for having a part in voting this moron in.”

Posting stuff from the guardian what did you think they where going to say?
They did this in Germany remember women put Hitler in power it wasn’t the guys
I truly doubt this woman voted for President Trump back in 2016.
I get to meet a lot of black folks while working and I have never seen so many, as a percentage, who mention they like Trump and will vote for him this year.
What is this? Creative writing 101? Fake Confessions?
If this woman voted for Trump in 2016, I’ll eat my hat.
People who say they voted for Trump in 2016 and regret it are liars.
That’s like saying you bought Microsoft stock in 1986 and you regret it.
Sorry. Nobody is that confused - even a Democrat.
Seminar voters?
The media and Democrats in general have no hesitantion to lie their A##es off, so why should this election year be any different?
Every white woman I know is going to vote for Trump. Trump wasn’t my first choice last time around, but, of course, I voted for him. This time I am much more enthusiastic about voting for him.
it’s the uber-communist manchester guardian: they haven’t published a single thing that was actually true for at least a decade ...
I’m a white woman—it’s interesting that the data are showing that dems are just FAR more fearful of the virus than conservatives are, men or women. . .
I’ve always been more fearful of a terrorist attack than this virus attack (still am) although I’m equally as unlikely to die of either of them.
Something about being burned alive in that World Trade Center seems far more scary than dying of a virus. Maybe it’s because Militant Islam is evil while the virus is a neutral force—not evil, just trying to live as we are.
Meanwhile, I fight to get my kids back in school . . .sigh. Doesn’t look like it’s happening. Damn the white women. . .teachers and their unions.
That’s what I was thinking. I am wondering if the whole story is fake news? The rats 🐀 would never lie about this, would they? 😁🤪🤣😸🤗🤑
Can they come up with anything original? During the Bush years I called them Republican butts. They would all start an interview with “I’m a Republican but...” who would then go on to to give us their opus telling us how they were were leaving the party they never belonged to in the first place. These morons are the same.
I did not intend to paint with a broad brush. Your description of yourself matches my assumptions and of my observations. You are indeed a conservative women. Unfortunately, many so called conservative women are not, at least not this year. Perhaps they were always pseudo conservatives, I don’t know, but I they make the different in the election outcome.
Trump’s support remains solid, it is the Democrats who are having a hard time keeping their base.
A woman who talks like that was never a Trump voter.
