Politico just reported something that stopped me cold: six Turning Point chapter leaders from major swing states are turning on Trump — not casual MAGA fans, but leaders of the youth conservative movement.
The Iran War is a big reason why.
Trump’s promise to put “America First” and his vow of “no new wars” resonated with Gen Z. Now they’re watching a war unfold and wondering what they actually voted for.
Connor Darby is the Vice Chair of a TPUSA chapter at the University of North Georgia. He isn’t buying the official story on Iran.
Trump’s team says the war is “necessary” to destroy Iran’s “nuclear program.” Connor has a problem with that.
Darby points out that the Administration already claimed to have wiped out Iran’s nuclear facilities last June. So why go to war now?
For Darby and so many others, it’s one lie too many. One betrayal too many.
For us here at Leaving MAGA, it’s a familiar story.
Many people, including me, reached a breaking point with Trump.
Knowing Trump is a liar is only the first step. For young people, especially, what comes next is everything — and that’s where guidance is critical.
Some of the young people in the Politico piece are fed up with Trump, but still searching for somewhere to land.
We want these young people to find their way to Leaving MAGA.
They may not know us yet — but we’re about to change that. Our billboard campaign is hitting new markets every week, and a supporter just funded a placement on the NASDAQ board in Times Square this June. This is the moment to make sure young people across America know there’s a community waiting for them.
These young people were finding themselves when MAGA found them first. They deserve better — and we’re the community who can offer it.
We are taking back the people MAGA stole. One at a time.
Will you chip in $10, $25, $50, or any amount to help us reach them?
If you’ve saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:
Connor still has time. So do thousands like him. And we intend to be there when they’re ready to walk away.
It’s always a stellar day to leave MAGA.
Thanks for being with us on this odyssey,
Rich
