Personal Transformation from Trump Voter to Progressive Advocate
A guest on the show shares her journey from voting for Donald Trump in 2016 to becoming a progressive prosecutor. Growing up in a conservative town with deep-rooted Republican values, she initially adopted the political views of her family and community. However, her perspective began to shift during her law studies, particularly influenced by a seminar on mass incarceration led by a Black female professor. This educational experience, combined with the sociopolitical climate during the summer of 2020, prompted her to question her former beliefs and actively seek out diverse viewpoints.
