| I'm seeing this phrase suddenly appear. What makes a person "ultra" vs basic maga? |
| I don’t know. Voted for trump twice and have never heard the term. I wouldn’t describe myself as any kind of maga though. |
| Biden and Jen Psaki have been saying it, and it suddenly appeared in news articles also. But there is no real definition and I'm not sure I follow the meaning. Biden said a couple weeks ago that he thinks maga is the most extreme US poliitical viewpoint in history. So ultra maga is even more? Its not clear. |
| I think they are trying to define the insurrection supporters as ultra MAGA. To differentiate between Trump supporting conservatives and insurrection supporting conservatives. It’s splitting hairs because they all want to destroy democracy. |
Want to add: it’s also the MAGA minority of the country who is holding us all hostage to their insane world view. |
|
They don’t know, it’s just talking points and a new buzzword created by the administration to distract from the issues I’d inflation and the failing economic policies of the Biden regime.
Just take note that anything that comes from Psaki’s mouth is nothing but DNC memos that were “carefully” crafted by some amateur staffer that used to work for Salon or Buzzfred |
Yeah right as if you yourself are not just spouting partisan talking points programmed into your psyche by Fox news and Trump himself. Blind hypocrite. |
As opposed to the Big Binder that what’s her face had.

Terrorists. |
Yes, they are all amoral scum. |

Psaki said that Biden came up with the phrase. But, the fact that he can barely pronounce it when he is acting as divider-in-chief shows that he did not create the label. One of his advisors did.
It will be as effective for him as "Build Back Better." |
| OP here. I'm trying to determine whether its a way, as a pp said, to make a distinction between garden variety, benign maga and "ultra" maga. Or, if after he declared that maga is the most extreme in history, he is trying to find a way to up the ante even higher than "worst ever." |
+1 To both of you. |
Don't think too deeply about things like this. Branding usually evokes a straightforward sensation immediately after the target audience is exposed to it. It's not something people mull over before deciding what it means to them. The most straightforward explanation I have heard and the most reasonable is that "Ultra Maga" allows independent voters to save face and walk away from supporting policies of the right. They might have supported a few things branded as MAGA in the past, but not ultra MAGA. This new branding is an attempt to draw back independent voters who may have been alienated by the "everyone who disagrees with me is evil" type of messaging that the Democrats have been practicing for the past six-eight years. So ironically, this more extreme language is the outcome of an attempt by Democrats to soften their stance. They will fail. Because there will be plenty of Democrats running around still calling everyone evil. This thread will be a fine example. |
You’re back, sans new catchphrase. |
