- Synopsis
- What would you do if you supported a candidate, later revealed not to be the person you believed? Would you do as your friends and neighbors do: continue to cheerlead and give. into sunk cost fallacy? Or would you have the courage to examine new evidence, change your mind, and speak up and admit you were fooled? This is the dilemma faced by a former GOP congressman turned right wing radio jock; a rising star in the Young Republicans; a party-loyal Ohio farmer; a US Army Veteran & hardcore 'MAGA'; and 3 evangelicals, who tell their own stories of painful transformation in this feature documentary. Their individual journeys from Trump fan to Trump foe are augmented by experts who unpack the factors that created the Trump phenomenon, giving context to each story.
