“We voted for Trump, not realizing that he was going to slam as hard as he did, but it was on day one when he sat down, right after inauguration, and started signing those executive orders and just trashed us federal employees, it was a kick in the teeth,” Ron said.

“That point was the beginning of my turning away from MAGA.”

“If people would just listen and research and do something other than just listen to Fox News, we may all be better off, but it’s going to take an open mind and an ability to say, ‘I made a mistake,’ because once you say you made a mistake, you can turn the ship around,” said Chrissey Kelley, 50, a stay-at-home mom.

    Thanks, i tried reading the article but the paywall blocked me after the first couple paragraphs

    Its great theyre trying to inspire others, but they should really inspire themselves to be more than words

    Nobody wants to fight the government, the government fights dirty and brutally - it should be these repenant people exactly to volunteer and accept the brunt of the abuse they voted for.

    Dont say sorry, be the person who takes a rubber bullet to the eye instead of a teenager who’s parent got disappeared and who dosent know where the next meal is coming from or how rents going to get paid and has nothing left to lose. They need to take the pain, not our most vulnerable.

    The messed up part, if ex-maga is at the vanguard, the fascists probably wouldnt even be that cruel to them.
