(8,290 posts)The shooting of innocent protestors, the snatching up of innocent immigrants (and US citizens) trying to start a new life here. None of that mattered. Food snap benefits slashed, Medicaid plundered, Iranian schoolkids vaporized. Not to mention 100s of other foul policies. Mind-numbing idiots. Simple-minded fools easily swayed by the almost laughable propaganda pushed out by RW media and pundits/bro-casters and bible-thumpers/Project 2025. The underlying theme: HATE! That's an effective fuel for all of these mf'ers. Very motivating.

(5,344 posts)you have focused exclusively on the stupid, traitorous, american hating magat voters - what they think (do they even think?), how they feel, yada, yada, yada. Not once would you even speak with real Biden/Harris voters to find out how they think or felt about things. Ok, you did talk to a few, but they became magats when they refused to vote for the competent woman because omg, she was a competent woman. I don't expect you to change, but I wonder how much better off we would be if you had really done your jobs and stopped being ET (entertainment tonight).

(51 posts)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!

(5,344 posts)claims the rapture already happened in September, between the 23/24, 2025. The tribulations are being caused by the disappointment and anger of those who expected to be raptured and instead got left behind. The rest of us who knew we weren't going to be raptured and were okay with that, and were waiting for them to be raptured so we could clean up the mess they had made, are angry and disappointed because they are making our job of improving the planet for all that much harder.
