00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.100
hey everybody rich coming to you here at leavingmaga

00:00:02.100 --> 00:00:05.780
.org with the midas touch network great to be

00:00:05.780 --> 00:00:07.940
back with you guys here i know i've been off

00:00:07.940 --> 00:00:09.779
for a little bit with a break we've been really

00:00:09.779 --> 00:00:13.720
busy thankfully with leaving maga you know the

00:00:13.720 --> 00:00:17.079
uh president recently declared liberation day

00:00:17.079 --> 00:00:20.559
and i want to tell all of you that every day

00:00:20.559 --> 00:00:23.600
is liberation day for me and for all of us who

00:00:23.600 --> 00:00:27.699
left maga for me my date of liberation was August

00:00:27.699 --> 00:00:32.320
30th, 2022. So with all of the recent news with

00:00:32.320 --> 00:00:34.939
the elections in Florida where I am and in Wisconsin,

00:00:35.280 --> 00:00:37.659
I just want to preface with saying that I am

00:00:37.659 --> 00:00:41.299
registered to vote, but I am not registered with

00:00:41.299 --> 00:00:46.320
any party. And in the zero -sum game of politics,

00:00:46.659 --> 00:00:50.240
it's true, a loss is still a loss and there are

00:00:50.240 --> 00:00:53.719
no moral victories, but slow and steady does

00:00:53.719 --> 00:00:57.859
win the race. The good news here in Florida is

00:00:57.859 --> 00:01:00.119
that Democrats did shrink the electoral gaps

00:01:00.119 --> 00:01:03.539
in the two elections, and Democrats turned out

00:01:03.539 --> 00:01:06.700
successfully and victoriously in the Wisconsin

00:01:06.700 --> 00:01:10.540
Supreme Court race. And I do think that it's

00:01:10.540 --> 00:01:14.359
a sign of something that is happening now, and

00:01:14.359 --> 00:01:18.260
I think it's bigger than just one race. And leaving

00:01:18.260 --> 00:01:21.040
MAGA is at the forefront of the MAGA resistance.

00:01:22.400 --> 00:01:24.579
this makes sense right if you really think about

00:01:24.579 --> 00:01:27.500
it who better to lead the resistance than those

00:01:27.500 --> 00:01:30.519
who are in the mega community and left and i

00:01:30.519 --> 00:01:32.640
think something is in the air right now something

00:01:32.640 --> 00:01:37.540
is happening and i think that something is regret

00:01:37.540 --> 00:01:40.560
and i think it's regret amongst those who voted

00:01:40.560 --> 00:01:44.900
for trump and support the mega movement and disapproval

00:01:44.900 --> 00:01:47.959
of the president is rising especially on the

00:01:47.959 --> 00:01:51.140
economy And don't forget, in addition to the

00:01:51.140 --> 00:01:54.299
Florida and Wisconsin races, there was a Pennsylvania

00:01:54.299 --> 00:01:56.900
state Senate seat recently that flipped blue

00:01:56.900 --> 00:02:01.500
for the first time in 136 years. So you're talking

00:02:01.500 --> 00:02:05.239
almost a century and a half there with a seat

00:02:05.239 --> 00:02:08.099
that went from red to blue and has not been Democratic

00:02:08.099 --> 00:02:13.500
since the late 1800s. So this is not a normal

00:02:13.500 --> 00:02:16.259
shift in party politics. I think a growing number

00:02:16.259 --> 00:02:19.830
of Trump supporters are. in open revolt against

00:02:19.830 --> 00:02:23.490
the president elon musk as evidenced by the latest

00:02:23.490 --> 00:02:27.289
report of tesla sales being down double digits

00:02:27.289 --> 00:02:32.750
you know firing and then aiming is no way to

00:02:32.750 --> 00:02:35.949
run a country and let's also give a shout out

00:02:35.949 --> 00:02:39.629
to new jersey senator corey booker for breaking

00:02:39.629 --> 00:02:43.729
strom thurman's record for longest ever senate

00:02:43.729 --> 00:02:46.759
speech and for those of you don't know Thurmond

00:02:46.759 --> 00:02:51.080
was, Thurmond, excuse me, was a noted segregationist.

00:02:51.639 --> 00:02:54.039
We also continue to see more and more reports

00:02:54.039 --> 00:02:57.879
of the Trump regretful. Did you guys see this

00:02:57.879 --> 00:03:01.780
story about Jennifer Pigott? She's a self -described

00:03:01.780 --> 00:03:05.900
MAGA junkie from West Virginia. Here's a clip

00:03:05.900 --> 00:03:07.879
we have for you, a little bit about her story.

00:03:08.680 --> 00:03:10.860
If you could say anything to President Trump

00:03:10.860 --> 00:03:15.819
now, what would you say? I expected better. from

00:03:15.819 --> 00:03:18.919
you. I really did. I expected that you would

00:03:18.919 --> 00:03:23.099
do what was right and cut waste and fraud and

00:03:23.099 --> 00:03:25.659
all of those things that you promised us before

00:03:25.659 --> 00:03:27.919
we elected you in office. But you're not doing

00:03:27.919 --> 00:03:32.819
that. You're creating a disaster. And I don't

00:03:32.819 --> 00:03:34.240
know what America is going to look like if this

00:03:34.240 --> 00:03:37.740
continues. Did you ever think that your job would

00:03:37.740 --> 00:03:41.300
be impacted in a Trump administration? No, absolutely

00:03:41.300 --> 00:03:44.159
not. Jennifer Piggott was abruptly fired from

00:03:44.159 --> 00:03:46.439
her job at the Treasury Department's Bureau of

00:03:46.439 --> 00:03:48.659
Fiscal Service here in Parkersburg, West Virginia,

00:03:48.840 --> 00:03:52.039
along with 124 other probationary employees.

00:03:52.439 --> 00:03:55.099
She voted for Donald Trump and thought her government

00:03:55.099 --> 00:03:59.560
job would be safe. To cut the knees out of the

00:03:59.560 --> 00:04:02.180
working class Americans just didn't make, it

00:04:02.180 --> 00:04:04.219
doesn't make sense to me. You know, it's what's

00:04:04.219 --> 00:04:05.879
the checking account look like, babe? We went

00:04:05.879 --> 00:04:07.699
through our list of items on our budget and said,

00:04:07.759 --> 00:04:09.340
what can we get rid of? And we've gotten rid

00:04:09.340 --> 00:04:11.520
of all of those things, including cable. I had

00:04:11.520 --> 00:04:14.900
my last review on the 31st of January, and I

00:04:14.900 --> 00:04:16.540
had the highest rating that you can get on a

00:04:16.540 --> 00:04:19.579
review, less than 21 days before I was terminated

00:04:19.579 --> 00:04:22.339
for my performance. On top of losing her job,

00:04:22.480 --> 00:04:24.759
Jennifer is facing backlash from both Democrats

00:04:24.759 --> 00:04:27.889
and Republicans for speaking out. she's received

00:04:27.889 --> 00:04:30.569
death threats and more our home's been egged

00:04:30.569 --> 00:04:33.730
you know they've hacked my instagram and posted

00:04:33.730 --> 00:04:37.370
horrible things about my deceased mother yeah

00:04:37.370 --> 00:04:41.610
so you guys are hearing from jennifer what we're

00:04:41.610 --> 00:04:44.170
hearing a lot in these reports about people who

00:04:44.170 --> 00:04:47.050
are who are trump voters and they're they're

00:04:47.050 --> 00:04:49.009
going public and they're saying this is not what

00:04:49.009 --> 00:04:52.629
i expected i didn't think i'd be affected and

00:04:52.629 --> 00:04:55.720
as i've said in prior might as touch videos and

00:04:55.720 --> 00:04:57.680
appearances with you guys i know the temptation

00:04:57.680 --> 00:05:02.860
is to say i told you so but i implore you to

00:05:02.860 --> 00:05:05.079
resist the temptation to say that because it

00:05:05.079 --> 00:05:08.240
is going to be more harmful than helpful and

00:05:08.240 --> 00:05:11.399
we we want to give people we want people to feel

00:05:11.399 --> 00:05:14.000
comfortable to leave maga without judgment and

00:05:14.000 --> 00:05:16.300
ostracization and i know that we want to see

00:05:16.300 --> 00:05:19.879
more and more testimonials of of those who left

00:05:19.879 --> 00:05:23.569
and yes we should feel a sense of urgency but

00:05:23.569 --> 00:05:26.829
we should also remember that it takes time for

00:05:26.829 --> 00:05:29.670
someone to leave maga it took me an entire year

00:05:29.670 --> 00:05:33.870
because i was walking away from my second family

00:05:33.870 --> 00:05:38.170
in the mega community and also because i painfully

00:05:38.170 --> 00:05:41.790
but liberatingly no pun intended realized that

00:05:41.790 --> 00:05:45.310
most of what i had believed for years had been

00:05:45.310 --> 00:05:48.699
incorrect and i concluded that I had allowed

00:05:48.699 --> 00:05:52.639
myself to be duped into believing one falsehood

00:05:52.639 --> 00:05:55.540
after another. And it was frightening for me

00:05:55.540 --> 00:05:58.899
not having anywhere to go after leaving. But

00:05:58.899 --> 00:06:01.699
that's why I founded Leaving MAGA, as a new community

00:06:01.699 --> 00:06:05.560
to counter the MAGA community and a support group

00:06:05.560 --> 00:06:08.899
and an exit ramp for those who leave. And in

00:06:08.899 --> 00:06:10.939
addition to those who leave, those who are having

00:06:10.939 --> 00:06:14.480
doubts as well as friends and family. of those

00:06:14.480 --> 00:06:17.639
who remain in the thrall of MAGA. And we recently

00:06:17.639 --> 00:06:21.199
discussed this in a video story that USA Today

00:06:21.199 --> 00:06:23.980
