Women Reject Spousal Influence: The Shift Away from Trump in 2020 Voting
The article is a personal narrative of a white woman in the United States who largely stayed away from politics in her early life but has since become more politically aware and active. The author was raised in a religious, lower-class, rural household and traditionally aligned with conservative ideologies. However, through returning to college and working towards her degree, she began to question these traditional values and started seeking more equality in her life. Despite voting for Donald Trump in 2016 due to marital pressure, the author began secretly voting Democrat in 2020. She is open about her future intention to vote for Kamala Harris in the 2024 election, no longer fearing the consequences within her marriage and expressing relief at the clarity of her political choices.
