John Stoehr interviews former MAGA Rich Logis, who has founded a group to try to help MAGA folks to come to their senses. Stoehr writes,

"Trump can send his paramilitary (ICE, CBP) to execute frightened widowed mothers but still expect at least 33 percent of the population to back him. (The most recent Gallup survey that I have seen shows his approval rating to be 36 percent.)"

"And yet something is happening. Trump’s blatant abuse of power really does seem to be radicalizing moderates and causing Trumpers to experience cognitive dissonance (a mental collision of diametric beliefs). I haven’t seen Republicans this anxious since a mob sacked and looted the Capitol."

Good luck with the project of trying to talk sense to the cultic true believers. And I say that sincerely, even as I'm dubious.
