Schiff, a prominent Democrat and leading Senate candidate, said he has "serious concerns" about whether President Joe Biden can defeat former President Donald Trump.
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.
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.
Looks like your index finger might be having a little trouble actually clicking. Let me get that for you:
Writing for the Guardian, 15 years ago, the cult expert Rick Ross warned us to “watch out for the tell-tale signs” of a cult, including “no tolerance for questions or critical inquiry”, “there is no legitimate reason to leave”, “former followers are always wrong in leaving, negative or even evil”, and “the group/ leader is always right”.
Anyone who has observed the behaviour of the Democratic party base, especially online; of elected Democrats on Capitol Hill; and of the Democratic president himself, since the CNN debate on 28 June, will have spotted some of those “tell-tale signs”.
Let’s start with the Democratic base – those “hyper-partisans” who “act like members of a cult because they treat their political party like a religious identity”, to quote the political strategist Chris Sosa. I have spent the past few weeks watching the Very Online members of the base embracing an endless stream of “Blue Anon” conspiracy theories, pushed on behalf of the Dear Leader.
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.
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.
How long until Blue MAGA starts calling Schiff a Russian bot? /s
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:

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

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.

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.
