'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

Yep, not buying this story (and it's the Guardian, so more reason to be skeptical).

Yeah, I remember how educated white women were all in for Donald Trump in 2016...One of my strongest memories in fact. Well...that and the big pink elephants...

“A woman with a hyphenated last name is never a conservative.”

Yup, that’s pretty much a given.

Sorry not believing her. Anyone who says anything about the 1% is a left leaning nut and always has been.

If “Julie” doesn’t want her real name used, she does not exist. Referring to the President as a “moron” is just typical of Limey creeps and other Eurotrash.

They don’t care that Biden is committed to coming in to their cushy gated communities and building Section 8 housing there? God only knows who/what will be jumping fences and swimming in their pools, and peeping in their windows at night.

As far as I’m concerned, it would be a failure as an American NOT to vote for President Trump.

We have a generation of socially inept idiot 20-somethings who’ve been brought up with absent do-nothing fathers and distracted and medicated mothers and who listen to neither, communist and subversive teachers with drug, sexual and emotional issues, first-gener politicians and illegals who hate America and all it stands for, and whose largest social influence is the mentally ill who have 47 different sexual cubbyholes from which to attack our sons and daughters and our hetero-Christian heritage, legacy and Constitution.

Done with it. Vote Trump.
