Jon, 

I listened to your podcast, Pod Save America, for X years. 

I was a liberal who wore Trump-hating masks... I was one of you.

I was a HUGE fan of yours, I genuinely felt like I was smarter than most people because I listened to your show.

Hear me when I say: 

I have NEVER felt like such an idiot for believing anyone in my life.

Out of all the people who have told me "they are lying to you..." please let me be the first to say that you have absolutely NO LEG TO STAND ON to say that to me.

I lived through Biden's response to Hurricane Helene and it was an absolute DISASTER of a response.

You guys never talked about it. 

You spent the entire time blaming Trump and others for conspiracies instead of focusing on the REAL PROBLEMS that my neighbors were facing, on the ground.

I was blown away by how the media, and you, just forgot about us.

It red-pilled me in a way I cannot even explain fully. 

You lost me. 

I got on X and finally found the truth for myself.

I hope I can convince others to do the same... because the truth MATTERS.

I hope you read this and I hope it sinks in.
