Very relevant to a lot of Trump, MAGA, and Republican rhetoric these days:

The Hidden Cost of LieSpeak

https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2026/6/3/800040936/community/the-hidden-cost-of-liespeak/

LieSpeak is a sly tactic for covertly pursuing an immoral goal while appearing blameless. Instead of admitting their intent, LieSpeakers make outrageously false accusations of their target’s wrongdoing as justification. This can cause internal conflict, conscious or not, undermining authentic self-esteem.

An example: accusing immigrants of widespread voter fraud to "justify" suppressing nonwhite citizens' votes.

Former Trump Supporters Speak Out on Leaving MAGA After Policy Disappointments

Ron and Chrissey Kelley, longtime supporters of Donald Trump from Byron, Georgia, have publicly renounced the former president and his MAGA movement after facing personal and professional setbacks under his second administration. Ron, a 55-year-old HUD construction analyst, was furloughed for 43 days due to budget cuts initiated under Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency, leading him to reconsider his political allegiance. Chrissey, a 50-year-old stay-at-home mom, cited concerns over Trump's handling of the Epstein files and immigration policies as additional reasons for distancing herself from MAGA. The couple, who had supported Trump enthusiastically for years, including embracing the stolen election narrative and January 6 insurrectionists, now advocate for critical thinking and open-mindedness in political decision-making. They joined the 'Leaving MAGA' community to share their experience and encourage others questioning the GOP. While acknowledging that some die-hard supporters may never change, the Kelleys stress that public sharing of experiences can influence others and highlight shifts in Trump’s support base. Today, Ron votes for Democrats, while Chrissey identifies as an Independent but has also voted Democrat multiple times. Their story reflects broader trends of former Trump supporters reevaluating their political alignment and emphasizes the importance of community and informed decision-making in politics.
