“I still kick myself and lament my voting decision in light of all that has transpired since.”
Here’s everything they shared:
1.
“Without a doubt, Jan. 6.
To see someone who could so blatantly deny the will of the people was beyond morally corrupt.
He turned my husband, who was a 2x Trump voter, away from him, too.”
The first election, I was in high school and very ignorant of many realities real people face.
3.“Jan.
6 was the final straw for me.
Not admitting his loss was bad enough, but insurrection is the worst possible thing that he stroked.
And imagine, he got away with it.
I would say poor suckers who believed him, and now they are in jail suffering.
Meanwhile, Trump is free without any consequence.
He never lifted a finger to help them.”

“When hesaidthat immigrants were poisoning the blood of our country.
Our daughter-in-law was born to an immigrant family, a wonderful group of caring, loving people.
I could never support a candidate who said such horrible things about a member of my family.”
“I voted for Trump in 2016 because I had always voted Republican.
I didn’t know much about the guy besides what was on TV.
“The constant hateful nonsense was too much.
Never looked back and certainly don’t miss any of it.”

And lastly:

But it was still a real struggle at the ballot box.
I recall it was almost like flipping a coin after a short prayer right there in the voting booth.
OMG, was I wrong and way too idealistic, if not naive.”
