Some supporters of Joe Biden have been accused of being “Blue MAGA” for their staunch defense of the president in the wake of the CNN debate.

While there is no official definition for the term, Blue MAGA has been used to describe those who are fierce advocates of the so-called “vote blue no matter who” initiative and are not willing to criticize Democrats in any way.

The term has reemerged on social media in the wake of 81-year-old Biden’s languishing and stumbling debate performance against Donald Trump on June 27. This has led to many, including Democrat figures, calling on Biden to end his 2024 campaign in order to allow a new candidate to face-off against 78-year-old Trump in November.

      The people using that term aren’t maga, they’re leftists criticizing liberals for doing/supporting things we all agreed were bad under Trump, such as putting thousands of immigrants into concentration camps and illegally denying asylum seekers.

      Okay, I could call you plantation hands, and your leaders slavemasters for continuing to prop up the carceral slavery complex that includes the modern-day lynch mob police departments and the occupier outposts they make called cop cities. I could call you collaborators, for collaborating with the genocides of Libya, Syria, Luhansk, Donetsk, and Palestine. I could call you settlers, for continually backing Israel with arms, materiel, and morale support even when you dress it up in hems, haws, and ineffectual sanctions.

      BlueMAGA encapsulates all of that, for me. No matter what I call you, you will never be an ally, a comrade, a countryman, or kinfolk worth saving to me.
