I cried when Hillary Clinton lost in 2016 – but here’s why I’m now voting for Trump
I cried from Canada when Hillary Clinton lost the election to Donald Trump in 2016. My boyfriend at the time seemed unable to relate to my visceral reaction, which only made my snotty-nosed despair worse. Oh, the misogyny of it all.
Despite having dual citizenship, I had never lived in America, nor voted in an American election. That year was no exception, but Clinton was a shoo-in, I’d figured. “Who would vote for such a vile buffoon as Trump?” I thought.
Apparently, many millions.
They Want to Ensure That, This Time, White Women Vote for a Woman
Donald Trump has won white women, the country’s largest voting bloc, for two elections running. White female Democrats are trying to stop that from happening again, but it may be an uphill fight.
Armed with a clipboard and campaign literature, Liz Minnella strolled through a neighborhood in New Hope, Pa., optimistic that by the end of her day of door-knocking, the small town would live up to its name for Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign.
There wasn’t a political yard sign in sight, which Ms. Minnella, who had only recently become a Democratic activist, took to mean that she might find some persuadable voters. When a blonde woman in a Villanova sweatshirt answered one door with a broad smile, Ms. Minnella, a Villanova graduate, thought aloud, “This is my lady.”
So their message is “Vote Stupid Like Us”?
The @KamalaHarris campaign hired Julia Roberts to encourage women to lie to their husbands about voting for Kamala. pic.twitter.com/6RKCGhaFAm
