Are People Leaving MAGA?
By Bob Small
If Breitbart says it is so, it must be a movement worth consideration and billboards have spouted in Pennsylvania urging the citizens to leave MAGA.
They can be seen in Hanover, Mechanicsburg, and York, with more to follow, possibly in Delco hotspots. such as Aston or Springfield.
Rich Logis, the founder of “Leaving MAGA” said is group will “provide an “exit ramp” for those in the MAGA community, offering them a “safe landing in a new community.” This almost sounds as though they’re ex-prisoners re-entering society.
Charlie Gerow, a GOP strategist, responded to the billboards by saying, “the good news is it simply isn’t working because Trump voters have swelled Republican ranks in recent days.”
For a personal statement from a Pennsylvanian Leaving MAGA – Leaving MAGA see the “Meet the people leaving MAGA” section of their website. Patty Ann Giles, from Pittsburgh, said she went through a period of Reaganism, seeing the Democratic Party as “amoral, too secular”, and she wanted that old-time religion. This nine-page reminisce traces her recovery from MAGA, which she left in 2021. The whole remembrance is worth the reading to understand someone who feels they need to be “deprogrammed” from the whole MAGA world.
Next, we come to a section titled “Solutions and Serenity: A Support Group for those affected by a loved one’s MAGA Affiliation, though the word affliction seemed to be waiting to be said. I’m surprised it isn’t MAGA Anonymous. Among what is taught is “how to disengage from outrage cycles without surrendering values”, among other activities. Nonviolence is also stressed as a necessity, possibly because we are, after all, dealing with MAGA and we know how they are.
The online facilitator for the above is Julianna Forlano, currently with WBAI Radio 99.5FM NYC, which is a member of Pacifica radio. You couldn’t get any lefter.

Within the GOP, Marjorie Taylor Greene seems to be one of a growing number leaving MAGA, but that’s a whole other discussion

Rich Logis sounds like a kook. He claims to have been “fiercely independent” then was somehow duped by MAGA only to arrive at the conclusion he needed to endorse Kamala Harris.
“Liberalism is a mental disorder”
As far as MTG goes she is pretty much a scum bag for waiting until her pension was fully vested to resign. So she is now a tax payer burden for life and didn’t even finish the job she was elected to do. Pretty scummy move imho.
I call BS. Progressive BS.
