'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.”

News media pushes fake narrative about Trump supporters defecting...while the Walk-away movement is a real thing.

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

I hate to be part of the offended culture, but this one gets to me a little. I know at least 100 women and 99 will vote for Trump. One doesn't say, but I'm pretty sure she will also. These are co-workers, neighbors, hunting club members, friends and family. In fact my DIL told me last weekend she saw a Trump 2020 F**k your Feelings sign and is actively trying to find one for her truck. This article is absolutely BS and I doubt if this airhead ever voted for Trump in the first place.

Granted I live and move in conservative circles (it makes my life so much more pleasant), but real women really can't stand weak men and we see these democrats as weak useful idiots.

Yeah, I don’t believe for a minute they voted for Trump. Dumb women vote Democrat, smart women vote republican.

You mean ignorant right? I think a lot of people that can’t speak probably voted for President Trump.

What a bunch of crap. Pure fake news. I don’t believe for one nano-second that any of those mindless bufoons ever voted for President Trump or any Republican in any election. This story was pure psyop propaganda, like every story in any of the fake news outlets.

You know they’re desperate when they start pulling this kind of crap.

Another Skank drinks the radical Dem Kool aide. She must like the way that Dems abuse and use their women, while virtue signalling all the while.

She’d rather get the finger from Joe Biden.

If Donald J. Trump is not reelected, suburban Republican women who voted for him in 2016 will do the deed. Have no doubt about that and the deniers need to wake up. The Democrats certainly understand that, Freepers need to wake up.

I’m a white woman, and I’ll crawl over broken glass if necessary to vote for Trump again this year.

Obvious BS story to further their narrative.

I have few doubts some may be telling the truth, but very few.

But they only present one side. How many more have had their eyes opened in the other direction and are now prepared to vote for President Trump? Likely many multiples of what is presented here.

Is she related to Luckenbach-Texas?

Yeah, she really is managing a fraud.

Do women care about paying higher or lower taxes?
Do women can about more or less job security due to illegal immigration?
Do women care about sending their loved ones off to pointless foreign wars like Iraq and Afghanistan?
Do women care for more or less protections of religious liberties?
Do women care for better charter schools or more failed public education controlled by teachers unions?
Do women prefer private health insurance that they can control or one-size-fits-all rationed health insurance controlled by the government?

If women use their heads and not let their dislike for Trump’s personality determine their vote they will hopefully do the right thing.
