Blue MAGA

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Blue MAGA is a pejorative term used to compare some supporters of Democratic Party politicians, such as former Presidents Joe Biden and Barack Obama, 2016 and 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders, 2024 Democratic nominee and former vice-president Kamala Harris, or Hillary Clinton to supporters of Republican President Donald Trump (known for the slogan "Make America Great Again", MAGA). The term is used to criticize a perceived cult-like dedication to the Democratic Party, reliance on conspiracy theories[citation needed] to explain opposition to Democratic candidates, and dismissal of news organizations or polling that does not reflect well on them.[1][2][3] Many liberal social media users claim the term is a false equivalence.[4]
