Former anti-Trump feminist explains why she changed her mind about US politics
A dual citizen living abroad shares her journey from crying over Trumps 2016 win to supporting him today. Her story shows how looking beyond media narratives led to unexpected political insights
Back in 2016 I was a tear-stained mess in Canada watching Hillary Clinton lose to Donald Trump. My then-boyfriend didnt get why I was so upset which made everything feel worse
The shock of that election made me think deeper about my views: living abroad (now in Mexico) its easy to label half of America as bad people but thats too simple. The real story wasnt in my social-media bubble or news feeds - it was in Americas forgotten places where working-class people felt left-behind
These days the same old anti-Trump stories keep coming but many of us see through them. While Kamala Harris and the Democrats talk about identity-politics regular folks care about:
- Jobs and making ends meet
- Safe streets without open drug markets
- Womenʼs sports and spaces
- Free speech rights
- Child protection from rushed medical choices
The Democrats made these issues worse; under their watch weʼve seen crime go up in cities sex-trafficking increase and women lose hard-won rights (like Title IX protections from the 70s)
You just ban it. The president bans it. You just donʼt let it happen
Trump might not be perfect - but he speaks plain truth about tough issues. While Harris stumbles through interviews he talks direct to people about their real problems. Its not about losing moral values: its about seeing past media spin and looking at what actually works for Americaʼs families‚ women and working-class citizens
