I'm Ben Mycelis from the Midas Touch Network.

One of the things we were talking about here on the Midas Touch Network before the mid-term elections was the mass exodus of Republicans,

independent voters, non-affiliated voters away from the MAGA Republican Party.

We're talking about people who rejected the extremism, the weirdness, the pro-fascism, the QAnon conspiracies, the pro-Trump cult, all of that that came along with what the Republican Party has become today, the MAGA Republican Party.

The data of the mid-term elections reflects that a huge amount of independent voters and former Republicans and non-affiliated voters voted for the only MAGA political party that supports democracy, the only pro-normalcy political party, the Democrats.

We asked on our YouTube channel for people to share their stories like we did before the mid-term elections where we asked people to share their stories about why they were leaving the MAGA Republican Party.

We did eight parts. We did an eight-part series of that, but here this is what we asked on our YouTube channel on the community page.

We asked and we said thank you to all the disaffected Republicans and independent voters who rejected MAGA extremism and joined our pro-democracy coalition.

Tens of thousands of you have shared your stories with us, which we have shared in our mass exodus series.

Now that the election is over, we want to hear from you.

So now I would just like to share some of those stories that we heard of these former Republicans, independents, and non-affiliated voters who voted for Democrats, who voted for democracy.

So let's start off with Mark Nelson, who writes, I was glad to vote pro-democracy.

The GOP no longer speaks for what Republican values we all supported. Big blob writes, I've been voting mostly Republican for 30 years, but not this time.

I'll vote blue until the other side regains their sanity, if they ever do.

Gary Wallace Jr writes, I switched to Democrat years ago, but my Republican disabled Iraq war veteran girlfriend voted straight Democrat in PA this year too.

That's great news, Gary. Remander rights. I've been a registered Republican since I could vote. I volunteered on George H. W. Bush's campaign in high school.

I no longer recognize my party. I voted almost exclusively Democrat this year. Also voted against the Kentucky amendment too, that would have made all abortions illegal by the Kentucky Constitution.

The current GOP is totally out of touch. I don't think I'll change my registration yet. If Trump runs, I want to be able to vote against him in the primary. Thanks, MidasTouch, for talking about what other sites will not keep it up.

Thanks for sharing, Remander. R.H. writes, I used to be such a Republican. I named my daughter Reagan. Now I've been voting for Democrats since 2016 to paraphrase Reagan.

I didn't leave the GOP. The GOP left me. Hailed bookish rights. As an independent that typically votes a mixed ticket, I voted Democrat down ballot in every election since the 2018 midterm election and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future.

Joe Hardig writes, I grew up in rural Kansas in a very Catholic and very conservative household. My young life was a steady diet of church and rushed limbaugh propaganda. I'm almost 50 now and for the first 20 years, I was legal age to vote. I voted straight Republican ticket.

I had been fully indoctrinated. I voted Bush senior, Balthimes, Bob Dull, George W. Bush, Balthimes, McCain, and Romney. But when Trump ran, I immediately picked up on that this guy was bad news. So I voted third party. My upbringing wouldn't allow me to vote for any Democrat under any circumstance.
