as someone who was sucked into the maga cult and has since had my eyes opened and educated myself i can say with full confidence that it is a cult and i’m ashamed i allowed myself to believe the lies but i’m proud of myself for escaping.

Glad ppl are reacting well to this bc people changing their minds is key to change and so we need to accept people who come around and take accountability

Can I ask what opened your eyes? Was there a specific event, or specific news/content?

i'm really proud of you, seriously. i really dislike people on the left who treat people like you with unkindness or malice; it's not easy to escape that, and anyone who does (and especially those who voice it loud and clear to others) deserves compassion and respect 🫶 we are all human

Wonderful, I’m glad you are proud of yourself - you should be! And I think it’s a great thing that you shared your experience. There should be so much more focus on helping maga ppl wake up and change instead instead of just insulting. Ppl are products of their experiences!!!

thank you! working on continuing to seek truth and empathy everyday. i can’t undo the past, but i can grow from it and acknowledge my mistakes. i hate what i allowed myself to believe but it’s better than never waking up to what’s really going on in this country.

my family is maga and i realized that if i said anything remotely against the republican party i was shut down and there was always a “well what the media isn’t telling you is… bc they’re all just out to get trump.” there was no accountability for any wrongs. even without evidence, there was always an excuse for what the trump administration was doing.

and also treating MAGA as just “idiots” is literally part of the propaganda that the right uses to recruit people.

during the election season there were so many warnings from the democratic party and i was so deep in an echo chamber that i just brushed it off like “well that wouldn’t really happen” and being surrounded by my family i wanted to believe that they knew what was right but so quickly everything we were warned about was coming true and i realized that i was being lied to and so was my family. bc when u think that trump wouldn’t go that far, he does.
