By now, you already know the broad outline of my story.
How I was once a proud member of MAGA.
How I became disillusioned with Trump over time, in part because of the January 6 attacks and his lies about the 2020 election being stolen. Then there was Uvalde.
How I founded Leaving MAGA as both an apology for my past support and to help others follow in my footsteps and escape Trump’s influence.
That’s the one paragraph summary — the elevator pitch.
But there’s so much more to my story, and I’m so excited to finally be able to share it with you in my memoir, One Betrayal Too Many: Why I Left MAGA.
This is the full story — warts and all — of how I got into MAGA, my commitment to the cause, my seven long years down the rabbit hole, and the difficult road I took climbing out.
I don’t spare myself in this memoir. You’ll learn about what I was willing to overlook if it meant remaining a part of MAGA. You’ll learn about the psychology of those who continue to stay.
You’ll also learn about what it took for me to break free. I titled the memoir One Betrayal Too Many because for me, Trump’s lies were ultimately too heavy to bear.
Insight into the minds of those trapped in Trump’s world is critical at this moment.
There are voters who cheered on the president because he promised lower prices, no war in Iran, and swore that ICE would go after “the worst of the worst” criminals.
For those voters, any of these issues may be their “one betrayal too many.”
One Betrayal Too Many is available on Abe Books, Amazon (including Kindle), Barnes & Noble, Bookshop, and Thriftbooks.
Early reviews online are overwhelmingly positive, and I’ve greatly enjoyed reading the feedback coming in. One reviewer on Amazon writes:
“What I appreciated most is that this book doesn’t feel preachy. It feels like someone processing out loud and trying to help others recognize patterns of misinformation, loyalty, identity, and even betrayal that can show up in a lot of areas of life, not just politics.
Whether someone agrees with him or not, I think there’s real value here because it models something we don’t see enough of: the willingness to reassess, admit growth, and keep moving forward.”
Another noted, “Rich Logis has had an incredible journey, and he’s honest about every step of it. MAGA is destroying this country and he’s had a look inside the belly of the beast.”
This memoir is about my journey into and out of MAGA, but it’s also about what I did next. I detail the creation of Leaving MAGA and the blueprint I’ve built for helping others get out.
Getting that blueprint into more hands is critical. I want people across America reading this memoir and applying what I’ve learned in conversations with their MAGA friends and family.
We’re planning in-person events around the country to make sure the word gets out about One Betrayal Too Many. We could use your support as we take this tour national.
Can you commit to a $15, $25, or $50 donation to help Leaving MAGA grow and reach the voters we desperately need to reach before November? If we can add more stops to the One Betrayal Too Many tour, that’s one more town, one more city we’ve reached.
I’m thrilled that the Leaving MAGA community now has the opportunity to hear my whole story, directly from me. Make sure to pick up your copy and help us get the word out that there’s never been a better time to leave MAGA!
Thanks for being with us on this odyssey,
Rich
