"Recently, we shared first-person responses from former Trump supporters describing the exact aha moments when things

finally clicked for them. The post sparked an overwhelming response, and since it's been exactly one year since Trump's inauguration on Jan. 20, 2025, now felt like the right moment to revisit the conversation.

"I don’t stand by my choice to vote for Trump. He is a liar, and like the man-child he is, he only cares about himself. He needs to be impeached before he gets us into a war. I truly believe that is what he wants — he desires control, and with a war, he will have complete control. Folks, we do not want to go to war. He does not have the mindset to be a president. This is my opinion."

I will never support a person as rude, obnoxious, and narcissistic as Trump, no matter what their platform is."

who called Harris lazy and incompetent. She was a top prosecutor, California AG (second in size to USAG) and then VP.

But she was black and a woman

One of them discovered that Christian Nationalism was a bad thing.
