what the fuck is blue maga? that is the most propaganda ass name lmfao
It sounds exactly like a “Hey, our MAGA people are insane and worship a really stupid guy for [reasons no rational person understands], so obviously they have a group of people who are equally insane!” when no one worships Biden; it’s just the alternative is too nuts to ever vote for.
You can tell some of these people are perpetually online and act like regular people are out there acting /thinking this way when they're just not.
Like we see the strings buddy, we know this is puppetry and we see the narrative you're selling lmfao
Its not a remotely new thing. Its been around since 2017.

A 2020 primary meme describing it:
More recent examples are things like Whoopi saying she'd be voting for Joe Biden even if he was shitting his pants on stage. Or Joy Reid saying she'd vote for Biden if he was in a coma. If that resonates with you, you are probably blue maga.
This is a meme someone made this means nothing. Blue Maga is not a thing taking snippets of what dummies say is called creating a narrative
It is Bernie Bros 2.0, a name the Clinton team created to try and gender Bernie supporters
Aka, propaganda

A guardian article that makes it really real 🙄
[Hey look its the thing]
Looks like your index finger might be having a little trouble actually clicking. Let me get that for you:

Here, this is for you.
TDD is a known gaslighter and bad faith poster. Best to down vote and move on. Nothing constructive will come of engaging with them or Ozma.
Doesn't bother me I find it genuinely fun especially when they try to threaten stuff about using me as an example
Like who subscribes to their blog lmfao
With a skilled troll? Sure it keeps your wits sharp and your arguments on point. But with the Clown like these? It's really just wasted effort. Yeah we do need to push back at them. Just don't waste too much effort on them.
That one literally made the claim yesterday that Biden had a campaign promise that he was only going to serve one term period which is very easy to fact check and find out that his campaign never actually promised that period You'll find articles from the time about some campaign AIDS saying that that's what he signaled his intentions were. But that's very different from getting up and putting out a press statement or something to the effect that's official. I asked them to find anything from the time actually stating it as a campaign promise. And then they came back to me with an article slash video from a Rupert Murdoch owned media outlet from 5 years after the campaign ended. And prior to that had posted sources they claim support them that actually disproved that. Literally saying in article itself that Biden had never promised publicly on the campaign to do that.
And of course calling people blue maga. When they simply acknowledge the reality that a democrat or a republican has one basically every presidential election for the last 150 years. And arguing to keep the objective fascist out of government. And the objective fascist party from Gaining another branch of government. Or in any way similar to members of a cult of personality. It's f****** clown shoes and really not to be taken seriously or given serious thought. But as long as you know it for what it is more power to you.
You're right though how can I be so dumb
Blue Maga is what all the kids are saying it totally is a natural occurring term that wasn't thought up by politicians and their ilk, it definitely isn't propaganda and doesn't serve a political goal at all. It is a cool term all the TikToks and Insta people are talking about
😂😂😂😂
Am I being othered because I don't engage with your group think?
Huh sounds like a cult maybe you are the Blue MAGA we've heard so much about
..proceeds to exclusively engage in groupthink..
Young children think that they can hide themselves from others by covering or closing their eyes. This is something that most parents and teachers quickly discover, but why exactly do children believe this?
You're so mad nobody buys this shit lmfaooooo
🤭🤭
Or maybe I'm just putting you on display, doing the thing..
Sure kiddo 🥱
🍆✊🥜
Ok, but you are like, in denial/ denying something exists.
Like, your thoughts or opinions around what blue-maga is or its existence are irrelevant.
This term appeared in the last what like two weeks?
There are posts about it, kids like you running around repeating it and any questions gets you the same four articles slammed in your face.
No, that's coordinated lmfao. Nobody supports Joe that much they just stand against this dividing crumbling party.
It is literally propaganda and I'm pretty sure most of us see that lol
Blue Maga is not a thing, get a life
Lol. Sure. We're just imagining these articles.
We're just imagining that people we're talking about Blue MAGA in 2017, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23 and still today, in 2024.
We just imagined Whoopi saying she would vote for a guy shitting his pants.
We're just imagined the vast majority of political lemmy engaging in this cult-like behavior for literally months.
We just imagined Jon Stewarts recent segment on it.
We're just imagining that Joe Biden is losing this election in a massive way, mostly because of a sycophantic cult that has formed out of the fear-mongering of cable news, preventing us from having a robust primary where we can be critical of the nominee.
People are voting for Biden. Blue MAGA is not a thing
You realize that people only say that stuff to emphasize that it literally doesn't matter what the person running against Trump does, they'll vote for them to keep him out of office, right? It's less a sweeping declaration of loyalty for a political party/cult of personality, and more an affirmation for how badly they want to keep Trump out of office.
