Democrat partisans are not comparable to the MAGA movement

the nuance of calling everyone they disagree with a Russian troll

Honey, thats just people on the internet, you can find dumb people of every persuasion.

It’s about the vessel of MAGA, not the contents.

Right, that's being dishonest and you suggesting a false equivalence.

[–] abbotsbury@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Because it would be more honest, within your definition, to call them DNC partisans. What you wish to ascribe to them is not distinctive of MAGA, so using MAGA to degrade them is not only inaccurate but dishonest because it specifically makes a comparison that is unfit, and ultimately only serves to degrade the meaning of MAGA by making it applicable to any run of the mill party hack.

Blue MAGA is naturally an opposite of red MAGA. Are democrats such nice people that their radicals are insignificant in comparison, or is it just a bad comparison?

I'm not attacking them, and I wasn't talking to the rest of Lemmy so they are irrelevant

[–] abbotsbury@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (4 children)

Your definition of BlueMAGA is still intellectually dishonest then.

That's still not analogous to MAGA extremism, Democrats have much more favorable social policies, which is what most Americans care about. Voting for the party that does more about the values you care about is not a death cult unless you think basic LGBT rights are a death cult.

So your criticism of liberals is... they vote for the party the most closely aligns with their views? And this is somehow analogous to death cults and MAGA extremism?

BlueMAGA sounds like weak bothsidesism, come up with some real criticism
