'I had made a serious mistake': Ex-Trump voters hit the road to derail his campaign

A bevy of voters who now regret supporting Donald Trump have taken to the road as part of an orchestrated effort to convince others not to repeat the decision that said altered their lives for the worse.

In interviews with Amanda Marcotte of Salon, three women described the destructive effect Donald Trump and his presidency had on their lives, their families, their relationship with their church and their psyches.

NOW READ: Signs of what will happen on Election Day are everywhere

Now, Rebecca Foster from Florida is telling anyone who will listen that she learned "pretty early on that I had made a serious mistake. Now she said she is campaigning against him out of "part guilt and part determination."

Lifelong Republican and former evangelical Ursula Schneider of Arizona confessed to Marcotte that she is ashamed of her 2016 vote and elaborated, "I was always a strong woman. I always believed in women's rights, and yet I had lived in this misogynistic culture for all of this time."

She added that her longtime relationship with her church fell apart after she backed Trump, stating, "Church was my whole life. We lost our entire community and we lost our family relationships. I was 44 years old when that started. I felt like I'd wasted a lot of my life."

Retired teacher Melanie Barton-Gauss stated the Jan. 6 insurrection was the tipping point for her, explaining, "After Jan. 6, I did what in my family is considered unthinkable: I left the Republican Party and joined the Democrat[ic] Party. And I left the church."

She added that the addition of Sen. J.D Vance (R-OH) to the 2024 Trump ticket confirmed to her that she made the right move after becoming aware of his anti-women views.

"What does he think? That we're supposed to be barefoot and pregnant? I did not go to college to be relegated to solely that role," she said.
