    I don’t know if I’m in the wrong circles… but I’m not seeing any of this… even on the internet.

      I only see MAGA folk on Lemmy talk about it.

      I think a certain grouping is trying HARD to insert it into the discourse. Case in point, this article, which wraps up a core of an original fair statement (that Biden is being ignorant and stubborn in refusing to acknowledge reality and that that’s a problem) in layer upon layer of interpretive dance so as to make the phrase “blue MAGA” fit that situation, even though they acknowledge at the end of the article that it doesn’t really make any sense at all.

        Everyone knows MAGA and anyone who supports it are complete idiots who’ve been brainwashed.

        They’re just trying to do the same thing they’ve always done which is “See the other side is also just as bad as us! We’re all the same.”

        Same old bullshit coming from brainwashed conservatives from the fascist playbook but it only works on other MAGA idiots because normal people aren’t as stupid and gullible as they are.

    Ah yes the spectre like Blue MAGA. An invisible enemy where no one can find anyone who identifies with it.

    Straight out of the fascist playbook.

      I’m sure they exist, but they don’t constitute the entire party.

      One thing I found weird/hilarious during the 2020 campaign was the obsession of both (some) dems and (many) repubs to draw superhero versions of their preferred candidate with beefcake muscles and a massive underwear bulge, as if they aren’t both sacks of lard who is one sneeze away from their respective deathbeds. At least this fixation doesn’t seem as prevalent on the dem side, though.

    calls for Joe Biden to step aside have been met not with thoughtful critiques or reasoned counter-arguments but with furious accusations of treason, disloyalty, and betrayal.

    Holy shit fuckin TREASON? I mean, honestly that’s a fair point. Trump actually does want to put people to death for disagreeing with him, so if Biden’s gone that far, that actually does make it a pretty fair analogy. Maybe I was wrong to say that the people saying “blue MAGA” are laughably full of shit.

    And so, eager to hear how wrong I was, I clicked the link and read the rest of the article, looking for where treason came into the picture. It turned out that mostly what they mean is that people on Twitter wrote hostile comments, and that sometimes Biden says things in interviews that they don’t think are accurate.

    FUCKIN

    PRECEDENTED

    Basically no different than shooting protestors I tell you

      Yup just idiots parroting the same insults they receive to try and muddy the waters and make it seem like both sides are the same. Nope, only one side wants a fascist dictatorship that completely supports a conman child rapist with a third grade education.

      Also it’s hilarious that they’re still using maga. Make America great again again? Did they fail at it the first time? What a silly question. Of course they failed at it because they did literally nothing except damage the country as much as possible.

    And what’s one of the main reasons why they won’t say it on the record? Because they’re afraid. That’s not my opinion – it’s theirs. “I wish I was more brave,” NBC News quoted one anonymous Democratic state party chair as saying. “I would be crucified by them if I spoke out of line.” This person spoke on the condition of anonymity, according to NBC, “because they fear retaliation from the president’s camp”.

    Again, sound familiar?

    So let’s talk about the Democratic president in the White House, who is fast becoming an unlikely and unexpected cult leader. And yet, do you remember Trump’s infamous declaration that “I alone can fix it”? Here’s Biden, in his interview with Stephanopoulos:

    “And who’s gonna be able to hold Nato together like me? Who’s gonna be able to be in a position where I’m able to keep the Pacific Basin in a position where we’re – we’re at least checkmating China now? Who’s gonna – who’s gonna do that?”
