Here's my vignette from the DNC, about my MAGA odyssey; why I left MAGA; and why I accepted a co-chair role with Republicans for Harris in FL.
What's your MAGA story? Have you left MAGA? Having doubts? Know anyone who has? Let's talk. @LeavingMAGA

What I came to understand after leaving MAGA was: the GOP always pretends that they are unaware of MAGA influencers such as Fuentes, who has a larger following than, and is more influential than, most Republican politicians.
And fans of Fuentes should know that he is, first and foremost, a performer who likely believes little of what he markets.
Most of my former colleagues on the right now wanting to kick the white supremacists, fascists, & antisemites out of the MAGA tent are the very same folks who either looked the other way or welcomed the white supremacists, fascists, & antisemites into the MAGA tent to begin with.
@samstein When I was in MAGA, I used to publicly speak like this. I consumed only MAGA media, and those I was around did the same. So much of what I said and wrote were false and severed from reality.
Leaving MAGA was good for my psyche and soul.

Here's my review for the MeidasTouch film "The Last Republican," about my friend, and former Congressman, Adam Kinzinger. (Disclaimer: I am a contributor to @MeidasTouch.) @AdamKinzinger
The conflict between principles and ambition is nothing new, and are as pronounced in politics as in any other industry.
"Republican" raises the question of why it's so hard---and why such a greatย price must be paid---to be honest.
The film also underscores theย extremist aspect of MAGA; namely, how some view opposition to the MAGA movement not as wrong and misguided, but anti-American and traitorous. This is where elected officials such as Kevin McCarthy and Mitch McConnell---the whole of the GOP, really---bear the brunt of responsibility. No one, including their family, should ever be subjected to threats of violence and death.
Though ostracized by even his own family and fellow veterans, Adam wouldn't do anything different. Principles won out over ambition, and our country is all the more better off.
Jennie is a former Mormon, white supremacist and Christian extremist; a crisis of faith led her to leave MAGA.
Read her remarkable story.
