Blue MAGA

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Blue MAGA is a term used to compare some supporters of Democratic Party politicians, such as former Presidents Joe Biden and Barack Obama, 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 these individuals or the Democratic Party in general, conspiracy theories to explain opposition to Biden's 2024 presidential campaign, and dismissal of news 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]

Ro Khanna has half jokingly referred to his approach as Blue MAGA[5] Lindy Li was also described as Blue MAGA.[6]
