From the article

“Some longtime Democrats like Ms. Mosura said they initially struggled over whether to vote for Trump. They had believed Democrats were the most likely to help the poor and disagreed with Republicans on issues like abortion. But Ms. Mosura said she kept coming back to the conclusion that Trump would put Americans like her first and improve her economic prospects.

Ms. Mosura said she has been unable to find full-time work in her field and is planning to change her party affiliation to Republican. But she also gets anxious when she hears GOP politicians talk about reducing government spending.”

So if I get this straight, she knows Republican policies are not in her interests, but voted for them anyway. Yep, gotta be a cult.
