Left or leaving the Democrats and moving to the center
Bill Maher
Russell Brand
JK Rowling (She has gone scorched earth on the Trans)
Cenk Uyger
Ana Karsparian
Jimmy Dore
Davd Rubin
Joe Rogan - Can make a case he's always been center but he ain't backing Bernie Sanders anymore
Stephen A. Smith
Matt Taibbi
Michael Schellenberger
Bari Weiss
Bridget Phetasy
Michael Rapport
Jillian Michaels
Glenn Greenwald


Left the Democrats and went Republican
Tulsi Gabbard
Elon Musk
RFK
Candace Owens
Tim Pool

I would like to update this and keep a list for anyone I've missed.

Does anyone know who moved from the right to the center or from Right to Left?

If you go on YouTube, there are probably at least 50 different podcasts by black people who turned all MAGA. Those 50 or so podcasts make up a couple of mainstream media networks combined X 5

I like this timeline where Rob Schneider is on the right.

Now I don’t know what his politics were before. But I would suspect many of these people voted Trump for the first time in 2024.

To an extent, Scott Adams went from left to right.

Jillian Michaels.

I forget she’s been on a bunch of podcasts. Her awakening was more in the Covid and health side.

Probably Roseanne Barr.

PS - I'm not sure that Bobby Kennedy is a full-fledged Republican.

I liked Candace Owens a hell of a lot better before she won 3 frick trophies (kids) - after that, she became a lunatic

I never have and never will trust Tulsi. Politicians from Hawaii are lunatics. Cough, cough, Barry.

He's not. That's okay. He's not a Democrat, now, though. So, he's probably in somewhat of a limbo in that regard. Don't care. I feel healthier just because he's in there.

Placebo effect. And tbh, just for bookends on my life, I would have been okay with RFKj as president. It has a certain pleasantness to the thought, a feeling of glory once lost, then suddenly reclaimed a generation later. Stuff of storybooks, you know.

At any rate, I like him being in the position Trump put him in and his boldness by leaving the race and endorsing Trump, he's shown himself to be a bigger man than his 'Lion of The Senate' cowardly, lying uncle.
