Meet Brian, Who Left MAGA After Diversifying His News Sources
Published 2 hours ago
Description
Why do people join the MAGA movement, and what can make someone begin questioning it? Brian Batts, a leader in the Leaving MAGA community, shares what originally attracted him to Donald Trump and the MAGA movement, including anger following the 2008 financial crisis, distrust of political institutions, and the appeal of an outsider promising to disrupt the system.
Brian also discusses his religious and political deconstruction, why he now speaks publicly about leaving MAGA, and the hope his story can offer families who feel they have lost someone to political extremism.
