6. How to respond when MAGA finally wakes up?
Thu Apr 30, 2026, 12:33 AM
Thursday
…now that these, and other people around us, are just beginning to open their eyes and admit they were duped, how do we react? Do we do the “Na-na-na-naaa-naaaa” dance? Do we scream, “I told you so!” at the top of our lungs? Do we give them the condescending look down our noses and shake our heads as if to say, “Why are you so stupid”? I know, that’s what we want to do. I know that would make us feel so much better about ourselves. I know it would make it feel as if our side was winning and their side was (finally) losing, but…what would that really accomplish, beyond our own personal feelings of satisfaction? One thing this sort of “I told you so” response would accomplish is to continually drive the wedge between “Us and Them” even further apart. Do we really want more division? Is that what’s best for the “United States of America”?



Rich Logis woke up in time to be one of those who didn't vote for Trump a third time, to work to try to elect Dems in 2024, and to encourage former MAGA to not only leave but to also help awaken others.
