Reacting to a video from the "Leaving MAGA" youtube channel hosted by a MAGA turned Leftist Liberal, Rich Logis. I did not say it in the video, but the questions submitted sound like people who learn about MAGA via Left wing media, not actually getting to know the Right. So, many on the Left have a disconnect between MAGA they know & media propaganda. Live 1/3/2026.
