I’m going to think on this one. All the fucktard idiots I know who lick idiots balls and destroyed and caused the deaths of good people doing their job is not one I can say, oh gosh thank you for doing some days in Minimum security prison with fucking misdemeanors. Telling a story in here. Yeah, I’m going to think about this for a time before I get all than youish. It’s beyond my comprehension how Anyone with an ounce on decency could support such a fucking pos criminal like the orange slob incompetent idiot. Cheers 🥂
As someone who was absolutely terrorized by MAGA neighbors in Florida, I appreciate reading this perspective. Many of them went to prison for J6. I’m still working through the PTSD and these stories help me remember there’s humans on that side too. Oddly healing. All their hate hurts my heart. Thank you
Thank you so much for this, Diane. I’m sorry you had to go through all that. At Leaving MAGA we share the stories of those who left as part of our effort to show people that it’s okay to admit you made a mistake and fell for the con.
Thank you. I think if anything comes from all of it, it’s learning the lesson of humility and kindness. Empathy for each other. Understanding we all make mistakes and it’s the lessons that make us whole AND that it shouldn’t be shameful but celebrated for the learning and growing aspect. I’m learning to actually SEE those who terrified me as hurt and scared people who were victimized as well, not necessarily monsters. I mainly hope they learn to see people like me as helpers and not snowflakes to be demonized. I want us to get along again.
Read it all. It’s like reading about the other side of a shared experience. He spoke of making fun of elders, which was one of the things I had to deal with as the caretaker of elderly parents. His talking about Desantis disregarding kids while I was trying to keep my asthmatic child home and safe from illness. His story had me in tears as I thought of a favorite uncle saying horrible things about and to me for being so sensitive to the hate around us. Thank you so much for the link. I do have to ask, how though has military veterans been so convinced of trump with his disdain for service members in general; it truly makes me sick to hear a vet support someone who shows them no respect and wouldn’t ever give them a literal helping hand - I get upset on their behalf but they don’t - considering their training about dictators. Many thanks again for your insights.
Good for him!

Rich Logis’ ebook My MAGA Odyssey at leavingmaga.org might be of some help. Chapter III in particular has tips for how you might approach those folks.
