Palestine is where Leopards Ate My Face meets Meanwhile On Grad. The two extremes have a common goal of destroying the country. MAGAts are shocked that Republicans are getting us into another war in the Middle East and the country is going hell. Gradbots are so pissed off with the the Democrat's ("blue maga") lack of spine against Israel that they want to burn the country to the ground in vengeance.

If opposing genocide is synonymous with "destroying the country" then the country deserves to be destroyed

If your memory can last more than seven seconds, burning America to the ground starts to seem pretty reasonable.

Ironically, I use Blue MAGA to refer to people like those Grads. If they had hit 4chan before reading communist theory, they probably would've ended up on the other end of the spectrum.

Then you are using it wrong.

BlueMAGA is abwd/ Biden & Harris toe suckers.

Isn't that just Dixiecrats/Dixie Dems then? AKA former Confederates.

I use it because of the extremism of the MAGA crowd, not the conservatism. Not like Horseshoe Theory, but that extremists on the leftist side could have fallen down the MAGA rabbit hole instead under different life circumstances, and that they can show similar behaviors in "purity test" attitudes, etc. Not that they're terrorists like the MAGA crowd, but that they should probably log off and touch grass once and a while.

Not something to be used wildly, but towards those who show 4chan-like behavior.

You are just using the word wrong. It's pretty well established what blueMAGA is, and the words been in use in that form for almost 12 years.

You pretending it means the other half of the Democratic party doesn't make it mean that.

And if being opposed to a genocide is too much of a purity test for you, leave the party. Go be a fascist. We can't win elections with you here.

Since when? I've literally never heard it used in that context except for your claim here that it means...corpo Dems I guess? Anything to the right of your views I could understand - that's how Grad works and why they call socialists fascists or conservatives. For not being communist enough. Hence why I refer to them as Blue MAGA. That, and the fact that they outright harassed Blahaj on our own server to the point of defederating to protect the users. Again, because we weren't Communist enough for them. They see little difference between most forms of leftists and conservatives.

And what the fuck does any of that have to do with being opposed to genocide? That's just common sense. The only people that I've seen who aren't opposed to the genocide in Gaza are racists and politicians/companies who are gargling Israeli nuts for $20.

I'm not even a Democrat. Milquetoast centrists and moderate conservatives slurping corporate dollars are not for me. I vote Dem for the few actual leftists among the party and the rare independents who are forced to work with them and because the only other choice is hatred and racism except when MAGA isn't just outright stealing from the people.

You can fuck all the way off.

Again YOUR ignorance has no inherent meaning. You deciding waffles means pancakes does make it so.

You are actually blueMAGA, and the terms been around since at 2015. Go do any amount of research into the term instead of... Whatever this flame out of yours is.

And I can tell right now you are a blueMaggot. It's all over your sentiment.

So hop into the googler, type in blue Maga into know your meme, and begin learning about yourself.

[–] EldritchFeminity@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Ah yes, please forgive this fascist genocide supporting worm of their sins of not hearing an internet meme! I shall present my backside for proper flagellation forthwith!

I'm getting mixed signals here. Blue MAGA means Biden-Harris supporting pro-Israel and their genocide Dems, but now it means leftists who believe that the Dems can be used as a stopgap to elect actual leftists who care for the people like Mamdani?

And this isn't a flame out, you're the one who accused me of being a pro-genocide conservative. I'm merely over here being confused about what the hell you're going on about and explaining why I use the term for Grad users specifically.

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Flail and cry you fucking want, but the term blueMAGA was made to describe you, specifically.

And the world doesn't blame people for whom a genocide was a bridge to far in 2024. They blame Democrats who couldn't do the right thing and they blame apologists like you who gave Democrats the runway to keep being a party of genocide.

You are why 2024 went to the fascists and everyone knows it, except needle brain blue maggots.
