I Used to Hate Trump. Now I’m a MAGA Lefty.

The president is giving the working class its best shot at the American Dream in 60 years. That’s why I support him.
My name is Batya, and I am a MAGA Lefty.
The journey has been a long one. Initially, I had Trump Derangement Syndrome—and I had it bad. In 2016, I stopped going to my favorite local bar in Sheepshead Bay because everyone there had voted for Trump. How could they do that to me?!
Like so many other Democrats, I took Trump’s victory personally. If you had told me that just eight years later, I would happily, proudly endorse Donald Trump to become the 47th president of the United States of America, I never would have believed you.
