    A key part of Blue MAGA, one which this article doesn't highlight, which Newsweek is probably incapable of highlighting, is the belief that the United States can turn back the clock and return to a nostalgic, mythical golden age. This is the common foundation which MAGA and Blue MAGA are founded upon. A political outlook resembling the belief that a pile of ashes can be turned back into a tree.

      Also historically a key point of many fascist groups.

      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.

      There's also no word of genocide or all the other shit

      "We are like two days away from Blue MAGA arguing cognitive decline is a made up ailment invented by the New York Times."

      That was like two days ago when blue MAGA called NYT "Russian disinformation" for suggesting he might have parkinson

      It's all the suburbanites who've benefited from inflation, owners of inflating assets like homes and rental properties which in this monstrous aberration of a country literally represents tens of millions of people

      Then you add their trust-fund maladjusted brats into the picture and suddenly this army of psycho centrists make sense

    "I'm BlueMAGA and proud of it, if that means standing up for democracy, stopping Trump, Project 2025, Agenda 47, MAGA and staying in the fight with the most legislatively successful president in modern American history: Mr. Joe Biden," the PAC posted.

    Beyond parody. Sounds exactly like a MAGA chud but for brump

      Most legislatively successful president in modern history?

      Sam Seder also said recently that Biden is the best Dem president in living memory (low bar).

      Where are these things coming from? Like, unironically, I want to know what they're referring to

        Taking this in good faith, it's possible Biden's genocide(s?) and other policies have led to fewer deaths than those of Obama and Clinton.

        Biden: Palestine, Yemen, I assume some others I'm forgetting about, COVID domestically

        Obama: Yemen, continued the US occupation of the middle east (but Biden was VP for those so feel like he probably has to get some credit)

        Clinton: Bombing of Yugoslavia, Iraq (al-Shifa pharmaceutical factory), the crime bill domestically (but written by Biden soooo)

        Even so, this is like comparing which Axis leader was the "best" during WWII. It doesn't matter and all of them deserve the wall.

          Can’t forget Ukraine deaths from forcing the war to be prolonged. That’s a lot of death.

          Palestine and Ukraine might already be over million deaths, COVID is yet another million just in the USA. Of course Obama participated in 13 wars so it probably evened out, but Biden is directly to blame for those too as VP. Also he was president for 4 years while Obama and Clinton had 8 each.

          But when we count in social murder USA did all over the world it's probably meaningless to compare, it's an evenly churning death machine.

        I've been using that joke for years. Because unless you run into someone up Trump or Obama's ass, it's hard to disagree with and such a huge indictment of the system as a whole. Because every regular person agrees that Biden sucks

        Oh man I saw that segment and scouring back through my watched videos to find it for context (will edit later with the link when I find it). Idk about "living memory" (if that direct phrase was quoted), but I remember him talking about in his memory *comparing president's like Clinton/Obama/Biden (maybe Carter was included). I still agree that statement was rather perplexing without him immediately filling in the context of what he means.

        Happily though, I seem to recall his team immediately rejecting the premise and pushing back on his statement as un-profound. I think it's something he needs to clarify, as it seems to hit everyone's nerves a bit. Kinda funny how one statement can paint a picture of a guy and now a commenter is calling him a Liberal lol (he constantly has segments arguing with callers who are lib).

          It was a caller who suggested Biden was the best, and Sam agrees. The team didn't push back. His reasoning was that it is an incredibly low bar to clear.

            ok, thanks for narrowing the search down I guess? Just as an offside, if someone remembers differently then going "nuh uh, THIS happened" is just unhelpful without providing the context (article, video, anything so it's not just two crabby people arguing over perception or misremembering).

                Definitely not arguing. Just saying if I refuted anything you responded back with, it would quickly dissolve into just a weird no-context dispute lol. You might be right with the push back, I just remember that they didn't agree (maybe just the vibe they were giving off without fully dissecting how his statement was false).

                But I digress, off to work for the day where I can listen to the videos in the background so I can edit with a timestamp on my original reply. Thank you for the replies and have a good day!

      We should definitely stop using "Red Tories", not only there isn't anything red about them, but this idiom is very close to "red fash" and will legitimise it.

          The explicit notion of a "Red" Toryism was developed by Gad Horowitz in the 1960s

          Yooo that's wild, i literally heard it first time few days ago after the Brit elections so i thought it's something new.

        i'm not sure thats applicable really, like, normal libs in my life have called the current labour admin red tories, but i don't think they've ever even heard the term "red fash" because that's some obscure reddit-logo shit. and while labour may not be red in the commie sense, i don't think we could get them to change the entire parties branding lmao

      Been around since at least(?) 2019 I think.

          I have facebook posts using it April 2020, proving I did in fact invent the term, heh (nobody doxx me)

          My first use of the term was specifically in regards to the SA allegations by Tara Reade and how the Biden Bros (tm) were acting just like their redMAGA counterparts in case anyone wants to know their history
