Summary

Please listen to this interview with two-time Emmy award-winning filmmaker Melissa Jo Peltier about this documentary. Former tea party congressman Joe Walsh, David Weissman, Batya Goldberg, and other former voters for Trump share their realizations about how destructive Trump has been for America. Several experts were interviewed for this project, including myself, talking about my book, The Cult of Trump. Let’s amplify the voices of former believers in Trump! Let’s expand the exit ramp to using conscience and employing American values. Let’s not shame or denigrate folks for being sucked into the Republican machine. Help us end the polarization, and let’s make a large exit ramp for folks to be able to reevaluate their involvement. Let’s begin a more informed conversation about our future. This essential documentary movie is now widely available on Amazon, Google Play, and other venues. Please see https://thegameisupmovie.com/ for more information.
