MAGA is a synonym for cult like behavior where the leader makes up absurd lie after lie and nobody questions it.
It does not have to be right wing, however as is becoming more and more obvious the Democrats are not left wingers.
Joe Biden goes on his CNN debate with Trump and says we "need abortion because illegal immigrants are raping women". It's becoming a competition which person can MAGA the hardest. Nobody can look at those debate statements without prior knowledge and conclude the Democrats are left wing.
No it's an acronym, you could alter it's meaning but simply saying blue maga doesn't make sense as the Democratic position is not and never has been that America is now or has ever been less than great. Ie. We have fallen and the only way to get back up is the r ticket.
It's always been America had it's problems but we can and are always making changes and working towards a better future together. Ie. Not perfect, bit actively trying for perfection and the only way to get there is together.
That opinion piece that is both self referential and admits to the absurdity of using maga to refer to hyper partisanship since that already has a well defined term... Hyper partisanship.
Then there are the party’s elected representatives, who are busy marching in lockstep with the White House in public, while losing their shit in private. “On Capitol Hill, Democrats panic about Biden but do nothing,” read the headline in the New York Times. Sound familiar?
The party that mocked Republicans for slamming Trump in private while backing him in public is now doing the same with its own leader. At the time of writing, only about 20 congressional Democrats have called for Biden to step aside and yet reporting from the New York Times, the Washington Post, CNN, MSNBC and more, suggest dozens more are saying the same behind closed doors. Most elected Democrats believe Biden will struggle to win against Trump in November, noted Politico’s Rachael Bade last week, “even if they don’t say it on record”.
And what’s one of the main reasons why they won’t say it on the record? Because they’re afraid. That’s not my opinion – it’s theirs. “I wish I was more brave,” NBC News quoted one anonymous Democratic state party chair as saying. “I would be crucified by them if I spoke out of line.” This person spoke on the condition of anonymity, according to NBC, “because they fear retaliation from the president’s camp”. Again, sound familiar?
Consider this paragraph from the New York Times on Friday, referring to a Biden campaign event in Detroit which had the “flavor of a Trump rally at times”:
“When Mr Biden referred to his political opponent, there were chants of ‘Lock him up’ – which the president did not discourage. When he criticized news media coverage, big cheers followed, with his supporters turning to boo and point fingers at reporters.”
