Some supporters of the president have been accused of rhetoric similar to Donald Trump’s fierce loyalists.
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 «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.
The term has also been used for Biden supporters who have pushed misleading comments, or attacked the media, while defending the president. The suggestion being this unbridled support is more commonly associated with Trump’s loyalist MAGA following.
Saib Bilavel, historian and associate editor for Three Essays Collective, suggested that «Blue MAGA is real» while sharing a headline from The Hill noting MSNBC host Joy Reid said she would still vote for Biden if he was «in a coma.
