Leaving MAGA: A Conversation with Rich Logis
Rich Logis spent 6 very active years in MAGA. Then he quit.
He shares his journey into and out of MAGA, noting the milestones that brought him into the movement, and when his doubts started forming, and why he decided to leave.
Rich has since founded his own organization called Leaving MAGA where he and other former members of the movement reach out to MAGA people who are having doubts. He also has therapy outreach for people who have friends and loved ones in MAGA but don’t know how to reach them anymore.
Rich discusses the importance of community and the heavy mis/disinformation that keep MAGA people enclosed in a tight world that encourages dehumanization of non-members
He believes there is hope for bringing MAGA members out of this extreme group. He believes it’s possible that friends and family of estranged MAGA folks can reconnect.
