A key part of Blue MAGA, one which this article doesn’t highlight, which Newsweek is probably incapable of highlighting, is the belief that the United States can turn back the clock and return to a nostalgic, mythical golden age. This is the common foundation which MAGA and Blue MAGA are founded upon. A political outlook resembling the belief that a pile of ashes can be turned back into a tree.

The “Blue MAGA” accusations have been aimed at those who have suggested they will still vote for Biden despite accusations he is too old or lacking cognitive ability to remain in office for a second term.

There’s also no word of genocide or all the other shit

“We are like two days away from Blue MAGA arguing cognitive decline is a made up ailment invented by the New York Times.”

That was like two days ago when blue MAGA called NYT “Russian disinformation” for suggesting he might have parkinson

We should definitely stop using “Red Tories”, not only there isn’t anything red about them, but this idiom is very close to “red fash” and will legitimise it.

i’m not sure thats applicable really, like, normal libs in my life have called the current labour admin red tories, but i don’t think they’ve ever even heard the term “red fash” because that’s some obscure shit. and while labour may not be red in the commie sense, i don’t think we could get them to change the entire parties branding lmao

and i like getting to insult them

I really don’t think we can get that to happen, it has an absolutely ridiculous amount of usage and history with an actual clear meaning for a political line of thought beyond just being an insult. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Tory

The explicit notion of a “Red” Toryism was developed by Gad Horowitz in the 1960s

Yooo that’s wild, i literally heard it first time few days ago after the Brit elections so i thought it’s something new.

“I’m BlueMAGA and proud of it, if that means standing up for democracy, stopping Trump, Project 2025, Agenda 47, MAGA and staying in the fight with the most legislatively successful president in modern American history: Mr. Joe Biden,” the PAC posted.

Beyond parody. Sounds exactly like a MAGA chud but for

Most legislatively successful president in modern history?

Sam Seder also said recently that Biden is the best Dem president in living memory (low bar).

Where are these things coming from? Like, unironically, I want to know what they’re referring to

Oh man I saw that segment and scouring back through my watched videos to find it for context (will edit later with the link when I find it). Idk about “living memory” (if that direct phrase was quoted), but I remember him talking about in his memory *comparing president’s like Clinton/Obama/Biden (maybe Carter was included). I still agree that statement was rather perplexing without him immediately filling in the context of what he means.

Happily though, I seem to recall his team immediately rejecting the premise and pushing back on his statement as un-profound. I think it’s something he needs to clarify, as it seems to hit everyone’s nerves a bit. Kinda funny how one statement can paint a picture of a guy and now a commenter is calling him a Liberal lol (he constantly has segments arguing with callers who are lib).

It was a caller who suggested Biden was the best, and Sam agrees. The team didn’t push back. His reasoning was that it is an incredibly low bar to clear.

I’ve been using that joke for years. Because unless you run into someone up Trump or Obama’s ass, it’s hard to disagree with and such a huge indictment of the system as a whole. Because every regular person agrees that Biden sucks

Taking this in good faith, it’s possible Biden’s genocide(s?) and other policies have led to fewer deaths than those of Obama and Clinton.

Biden: Palestine, Yemen, I assume some others I’m forgetting about, COVID domestically

Obama: Yemen, continued the US occupation of the middle east (but Biden was VP for those so feel like he probably has to get some credit)

Clinton: Bombing of Yugoslavia, Iraq (al-Shifa pharmaceutical factory), the crime bill domestically (but written by Biden soooo)

Even so, this is like comparing which Axis leader was the “best” during WWII. It doesn’t matter and all of them deserve the wall.

Palestine and Ukraine might already be over million deaths, COVID is yet another million just in the USA. Of course Obama participated in 13 wars so it probably evened out, but Biden is directly to blame for those too as VP. Also he was president for 4 years while Obama and Clinton had 8 each.

But when we count in social murder USA did all over the world it’s probably meaningless to compare, it’s an evenly churning death machine.

Can’t forget Ukraine deaths from forcing the war to be prolonged. That’s a lot of death.
