Caring for Her Neighbor
I spoke with Maria, who hung back inside the house holding onto her small dog as she spoke with me. After we had spoken for a bit, enough trust was established for her to say that she was offended that Trump called people like her "bums." She said she had worked hard all her life, and she still does volunteer work. She also does not like people like Trump making decisions for her that she should be able to make for herself. Maria, at first, said she votes because she cares about many/all people, but eventually she told me about her elderly neighbor that Maria checks up on regularly and keeps an eye on her property.
