'I failed my fellow Americans': the white women defecting from Trump
The Guardian ^ | July 29, 2020 | Adam Gabbatt

Posted on 07/29/2020 3:23:45 PM PDT by Stravinsky

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.”

A woman with a hyphenated last name is never a conservative

Media always looks high and low for people saying “I voted for [Republican] last time, but...” every election cycle.

Oh no, what are we going to do.

I’m sure they’re all telling the truth about how they voted in 2016. I mean, activists never lie, as we all know. Especially when no one can verify what they say.

They all need to move to the neighborhoods in Seattle, Portland and Minneapolis where Urban Renewal is deeply underway.

She talks as if she, alone, elected him, and she will bring him down in 2020. Narcissism at its finest.

May their chains rest heavily on them in the knowledge
that they put them there themselves.

May she live in interesting times...

“I feel so guilty for having a part in voting this moron in.” The typical ad hominem attack is nothing more than a rat response when you don't have an argument. Nonsense.

If you look her up I’m sure you’ll find she actually donated money to Hillary.

If Trump loses, white women will be responsible for handing the country over to the Socialists.
