Rich Logis, a former voter for former President Trump, appeared in a video message broadcast to the Democratic National Convention on Monday night to say that the COVID-19 pandemic showed him how Trump was “lying about pretty much everything.”

“I believed Trump,” he said. “When the pandemic hit, we needed leadership, but we were given almost nothing. It was a major betrayal to the country.”

Logis described himself as a “full-fledged member of MAGA” and encouraged fellow voters that there was still time to change their minds about whom to cast a ballot for in November.

    It’s always a mix of emotions when somebody realizes something I’ve always known since day one. I wish it would stop happening, I hate being right so often, it’s fucking depressing. I wish more, however, that other people would be smart enough to know a scam when it smacks them upside the head.

      True. To be fair it’s a ridiculously low bar.

      I want to ask him “what gave it away”? The pandemic in his case, apparently. What was that moment like when he was all “heeeeyyyyyy . . . Wait a minute!”

          Maybe, but I doubt it. More likely Trump’s policies either directly or indirectly (but obviously) affected them personally. Sort of the stereotypical “But you said I was one of the good [minority] people!”

        Well I believe it was just George Carlin who said that if a random idiot is off average intelligence, then half the population is dumber than that.
