“…a blueprint for those in MAGA who can no longer justify the lies of Donald Trump.”
Joe Walsh, Former United States Representative

"This book is a public apology. I am profoundly sorry for the damage I caused during the seven years I was in the MAGA movement. I contributed to the assault on our democracy. I exacerbated the harm caused to others in MAGA. Now I am holding myself accountable by working to make amends."

So begins One Betrayal Too Many, Why I Left MAGA by Rich Logis, former MAGA activist, podcaster, and commentator. Logis takes us on a deeply personal and agonizing journey from disillusionment with the MAGA movement to founder of the nonprofit Leaving MAGA.

One Betrayal Too Many attracts readers across political lines because it’s not a partisan manifesto —it’s a human story about how democracy erodes—and how it can be defended—one conscience at a time.

As millions of Americans remain trapped inside a movement fueled by fear, grievance, and misinformation, One Betrayal Too Many offers something rare: a bridge. It speaks directly to those who feel uneasy but are afraid to leave—and to those who want to help loved ones without pushing them further away.

Unlike books written about MAGA from the outside, One Betrayal Too Many is written from within. Logis does not present himself as a victim or hero. Instead, he offers a rare and unsparing act of accountability: a public apology for the role he played in spreading disinformation, dehumanization, and fear—and a blueprint for how people can leave extremist movements without losing their dignity, identity, or community.

The book opens with a foreword by former Republican Congressman Adam Kinzinger, who places Logis’s personal story within the larger fight to preserve constitutional democracy.

This book is a must-read for anyone concerned about the future of our democracy.

• Are you currently in the movement and are having doubts but don’t know where to turn?

• Do you have friends or loved ones in MAGA?

• Do you see the Trump administration as a dire threat to our constitutional order?

“Rich tells the tale of his odyssey with great honesty, forthrightness, and most importantly, humility…He appreciates that many in the movement are motivated by a love of country, because he was one of them.
