In this episode of Next to Madison, Madison sits down with Ron Barba to discuss his new political movement, “MAGA for Mamdani,” a bold and unconventional idea that’s sparking conversation by intentionally challenging political labels and assumptions.

Ron explains the purpose behind the movement, how controversy can be used as a tool to disrupt entrenched narratives, and why provoking discomfort can sometimes open the door to deeper understanding. Rather than pushing a traditional political agenda, this conversation explores the psychology of polarization, the power of reframing, and what happens when familiar slogans are flipped on their head.

This episode isn’t about telling listeners what to think — it’s about encouraging critical thought, curiosity, and honest dialogue in a time when political conversations often shut down before they begin.

Whether you agree, disagree, or fall somewhere in between, this episode invites you to listen beyond the headline and engage with the bigger conversation underneath.
