Leilani Dowding is right, hope in MAGA was a hope for change, yet she accepts she was wrong about Trump and changed her mind. Trump lied to you, he is compromised.
People who change their minds when new information becomes available should be applauded.
Or we would all be screwed.

Leilani Dowding: From MAGA To Anti-War Dissent | Wide Awake Media Podcast #19
The nineteenth episode of the Wide Awake Media podcast features former model turned political commentator Leilani Dowding, in a candid and uncompromising discussion on the Iran war, political betrayal, censorship, and the consequences of speaking out.
Leilani explains why she publicly turned against Donald Trump after vehemently supporting him, arguing that promises of "no new wars" have been abandoned in favour of escalation in the Middle East. She outlines how many anti-war voices on the political right have either fallen silent or reversed their positions, revealing what she sees as a deeper culture of tribal loyalty over principle.
The conversation explores the growing normalisation of war, the role of propaganda in shaping public opinion, and the economic consequences already being felt by ordinary people around the world—from soaring energy costs to supply instability.
Leilani also examines the limits of free speech, describing a climate where certain topics trigger immediate backlash, financial penalties, or reputational attacks—driving many into silence despite widespread private dissent.
