'PISSED that I fell for it': Ex-Trump supporters explain why they left MAGA movement - MS NOW

[cmmngrnd]

4. Leavingmaga seems legitimate. It's shown up in my FB reels ...

and keeps showing up because I usually watch them. The algorithm keeps sending them my way.

This Rich Logo fellow seems sincere. So many MAGA folks that are turning against Trump are turning against him because Trump is not doing enough MAGA things. They're rejecting the man, Trump, but not the underlying bigotry, ignorance, and lies that led them to him.

Rich Logo seems different. He is rejecting all of it, and making a space for others to do the same.

If I understand him correctly, he is not just leaving MAGA but trying to make up for his previous harm by encouraging others to leave. As noted in the MS Now piece, the leavingmaga organization is putting up billboards saying "Having doubts? You are not alone. leavingmaga.org." They're also advertising and presenting testimonials through social media, like the FB reels, and trying to be visible as they are in the MS Now piece.

Each of us have to decide for ourselves how to feel and behave toward ex-MAGA folk. That is our right. But this guy seems to be doing it about as right as one can. He isn't just rejecting Trump or MAGA. He's apparently done the self reflection to reject the underlying world view that got him there and is trying to redress the harm he's caused.

Caveat: I only know about Rich Logo and leavingmaga through the FB reels, so this post may age like egg salad in July!
