ABOUT TODAY'S EPISODE:

What if the story of the “former Trump supporter” isn’t a confession—but a performance?

In Episode 194 of Daily Persuasion titled “Former Trump Supporter Hoax? ft. Why the Left Can’t Meme,” bestselling author and certified hypnotist Joshua Lisec puts a magnifying glass over the claims of “ex-conservatives” and alleged Trump regret, exposing the language patterns and persuasion tactics behind this narrative—using none other than NLP and the foundational framework of deep structure vs surface structure.

From the moment a self-proclaimed former MAGA, ex-GOP, or ex-Republican says “the right left me,” Lisec applies persuasion psychology and the Structure of Magic—the classic book that introduced Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) to the world—to dissect what’s really being said. Is this an authentic conversion story, or just another script designed to emotionally manipulate voters?

In this episode, Lisec walks you through a real-time example of a man named “Kevin,” a supposed conservative-turned-leftist. Using the persuasive techniques from NLP and the meta model found in Structure of Magic, Lisec interrogates Kevin’s vague generalizations and pronoun-shifting inconsistencies to reveal just how shaky the foundation of these ex-conservative testimonials really are. This episode of Daily Persuasion isn’t just about political labels—it’s about the truth hiding beneath the language.

You’ll learn:
• How to recognize when someone’s argument is built on surface structure and how to ask the right questions to uncover the deep structure.
• What makes the “Former Trump Supporter Hoax” so persuasive to liberals—and why it collapses under scrutiny.
• Why the now-cliché storyline of Trump regret is more often a rhetorical tool than a reflection of reality.

But Lisec doesn’t stop at Kevin. He dives into why the left can’t meme—and why that matters. Memes are modern examples of persuasion in advertising and online communication, yet when the left tries to co-opt meme formats, they often fail to understand the deep structure vs surface structure dynamic that makes persuasive content resonate. In short: the left can’t meme because they can’t persuade. And Lisec explains why.

This episode is packed with persuasion examples pulled straight from social media, politics, and culture wars. From the contradictions in Kevin’s story to the left’s awkward attempts at meme warfare, Joshua Lisec shows you how to persuade someone to do something by mastering the techniques of persuasion in writing and in speech. Whether you're trying to decode political narratives or sharpen your own persuasive edge, this is an essential masterclass in persuasion techniques.

You’ll also get Lisec’s thoughts on:
• The media’s role in amplifying the former MAGA narrative
• The true meaning behind sudden shifts in political allegiance
• How figures like Donald J. Trump and VP JD Vance are reshaping the Republican Party—and what it means when liberals pretend not to notice
• And why conservatives need to master NLP if they want to win hearts and minds, not just arguments

And yes—Lisec explains why the left can’t meme, breaking down one particularly failed attempt to reverse a classic right-wing meme and why it flopped spectacularly. (Hint: It’s the deep structure that counts.)
