Sean Bianca had a special Christmas message for her readers.

"America has been blessed!" She wrote on December 25, 2016 on her blog.

"Since Donald J. Trump was elected our next president, every day has seemed like Christmas."

Bianca adored Trump at the beginning of his presidency.

In her entries she called him the "Savior of America" ​​and "the only hope" of the country.

Today, four years later, Bianca says: "I am disappointed in myself. Disappointed because I voted for this man."

According to surveys, hardly any group of voters has turned away from Donald Trump as much as women in the past four years.

In 2016, almost every second white voter voted for him - more than for his rival candidate Hillary Clinton.
