On this special bonus episode of The Break Down with Brodkorb and Becky, Michael Brodkorb breaks down the following:
In this thought-provoking episode, Michael candidly discusses with Rich Logis, a former ardent supporter of the MAGA movement and Trump. Rich shares his transformation from being a prominent MAGA activist to co-chairing Republicans for Harris in Florida.
The conversation delves into his initial attraction to Trump, his disillusionment during Trump’s presidency, and the pivotal events that led to his departure from MAGA. Rich also discusses the importance of diversifying news sources, the myths perpetuated within MAGA, and his optimism for reconciliation and positive political change post-election.
This episode provides crucial insights and a unique perspective on navigating political disillusionment and finding common ground in a deeply divided landscape.
