Representative Adam B. Schiff of California told attendees at a Democratic fund-raiser that the party would lose the Senate and miss a chance to take the House if the president did not drop out.
Blue maga seems like such a hard sell. Like, I get regular maga, Trump is an asshole, but he’s got personality, he’s entertaining, he’s got all the things you’d need to be a cult leader effectively. Whereas Biden is basically the opposite of Trump personality wise.
It was a dumb epithet. Until Biden supporters started attacking the fake news media, pushing misinformation, and attacking true blue Democrats for speaking out against the dear leader. Then it became uncomfortably descriptive. When you’re attacking Pod Save America for not being good Democrats you’ve lost the plot completely.
In a nation where 50% of voters are democrats and maybe 200,000 people listen to Pod Save America, the majority of them probably themselves in the media, how many people does the term blue maga apply to here?
Oh, it’s definitely centered on online spaces, primarily Twitter, but filtering through to other forums like Lemmy as Twitter stuff does. It’s a very online group/issue. No one in my regular social networks talks anything like that.
I assume good faith from the people posting here and the people evidencing it on Mastodon are real people with varied histories and interests. But if they actually were just bot accounts, why would you care that people call them names?
Since you seem curious about the label, here’s a couple of articles about it. Plenty of accounts linked there. Pretty sure the cofounder of MeidasTouch isn’t a bot, nor is the author of Melania and Me.
Wow. Blue maga is real, and just as militant culty as Red maga. It’s gross. I almost wish I could unsee. Almost.

You’ve got me, there.
Blue maga?
Why are so many self claimed leftists on here using a Steve Bannon coined term?
Broken clock phenomenon.
Because many self described “leftists” aren’t actually leftist and are just shit posting to drive down voter motivation.

So you dont even know if blue maga is just bot accounts or not?

You just linked me to two professional spin doctors.
It would be more suprising to me it a spin doctor wasn’t saying stupid shit.
