Episode 244: Deprogramming Democrats – Lisa Ekman on How She Escaped the Progressive Cult

Lisa Ekman spent two decades in Washington D.C. working as a consultant and advocate. She saw what actually went on behind the scenes and the subsequent lies that were told to the American public. Somewhere along the way, she realized she had been programmed to think (or really not to think at all) a certain way by the left leaning political machine. During this in-depth conversation Lisa peels back the layers of the onion and explains when she first noticed a glitch in her personal matrix and how what the left was feeding her didn’t actually hold up under the microscope of truth. Her book Deprogramming Democrats & unEducating the Elites outlines her journey from full blown Trump Derangement Syndrome to having the scales fall completely away from her eyes during the Covid 19 Pandemic.
