About

My name is Justin McMaster, and I'm the creator of Trending Left. I’ll be turning 27 in 2025. I do political and social advocacy through blog posts and on YouTube, and I work professionally in the social work field.

Education

In the spring of 2022, I graduated from Grace Christian University. I earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Human Services, with focuses on psychology and social work. Most of my adult life has been devoted to the personal study of psychology, political science, and philosophy.

Career

I currently work as a Human Services Professional. On the side, I write about politics, society, pop culture, and more. In recent years, I’ve worked as a political organizer and campaign manager, and I’ve volunteered for various political campaigns. I advocate for specific policies and broader social changes that I believe are essential.

Passions

Besides my career, I enjoy traveling, reading (check out my book recommendations page!), and exploring new places. I’m an avid writer, a science nerd, and a cinema enthusiast.

Whether its on YouTube or in my writing, I try my best to cut through the noise of American political discourse. Many find these efforts too polarizing or frustrating to sustain. However, I enjoy it. Not because I delight in seeing our society in a constant state of division, because I don’t, but because there’s a hint of truth in every perspective. Because there’s an art to story telling that inspires us to be more human. And because there’s a strong sense of purpose in talking about something that’s meaningful.
