Rich Logis Establishes Support Group for Former MAGA Members Seeking Reconciliation
Rich Logis, a former MAGA activist, has founded a support organization called Leaving MAGA to assist individuals questioning their allegiance to the movement led by President Trump. After spending seven years deeply involved in the MAGA community, Logis experienced a change of heart following events such as the Uvalde school shooting and the movement's response to COVID-19 and January 6. His public apology in August 2022 led to an outpouring of messages from people seeking to reconnect with MAGA-identified friends and family. Leaving MAGA offers free weekly support groups, a deradicalization website, and has published Logis's memoir, "One Betrayal Too Many," which explores how educated and successful individuals can fall into and escape extremist politics. The organization emphasizes reconciliation and self-care, encouraging members to take responsibility for their past actions and to form alliances with those outside the MAGA movement.
