What is Blue MAGA? Joe Biden's vocally online defenders (www.newsweek.com)

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.

I think its a reference to "anons", i.e users of 4Chan

It's a reference to QAnon because it's super original.

But crickets from Fidel_Cashflow because why have a discussion if you're just looking to disrupt the one that others are having?

To be honest i didnt even think about QAnon because so much crazy shit has happened it the meantime. How could I forget about the crazy babyblood-and-pizza cult?

But yeah trying to compare the mild circlewagoning for biden on lemmy to those theocratic lunatics (either QAnon or MAGA, since one is just the full-on conspiracy wing of the other) is absurd.
