How I Escaped MAGA! Critical thinking woke me up

Life, take two!

31 Aug 2025 UTAH

Everyone wants to know how someone like me walks away from MAGA, Trump, Christian Nationalism, and the alt right. 

There is no one sentence answer. I didn't just leave MAGA, I first left the Mormon church, then the Christian church, a 24 year marriage, my entire community, my whole identity, and reality as I had known it. Let's just say, it was kind of a big deal, and a HUGE shock to me and everyone who knew me. In this video I explore the path that led to massive change and led to an all knew life.
