I think about maga as a complement.

So you are saying that maga completes a republican? If not, what are maga complementing?

It's "compliment," you poorly-educated MAGA. Do you even know the difference?

Yes, but the important thing is who they voted for. I'm betting most voted for Trump each time he was on the ballot.

True.

My husband was a Trump Supporter all three years.. I voted Trump this last term (usually an Independent/Libertarian), just cause he did, and so did our Gen Z sons. My husband now detests Trump, I never liked him.

Wow.

Especially because even the supposedly "non-MAGA" Republicans, like Susan Collins and Thom Tillis, still capitulate to Trump all the time. They agree with him on a ton and then won't even stand up to him on the 5% of stuff they dislike. So there's no difference.

It's a corrupt party.


It’s the big old Republican Party. If Tillis or Collins says I don’t agree with 5% of what you do but votes on favor 95% of the time….. that tells you their true affiliation.

OP back. Apologize for the wordiness. Won’t happen again lol.

I get it pp. GOP describes all the decrepitness for sure, but really let’s urge people and reps to stick with simplicity leading up to midterms and 2028.

Let the REPUBLICANS “flood the zone” with their constant, aggressive, interruptions- clinically described as conversational narcissism.

We have an enormous shift of the youngest voters and independents who need clarity and less words (as I type this screed 😳)

At this point there’s way too much buzzy jargon inflaming, confusing, misleading, and polarizing voters.

⬇️I prompted AI to check my list, add to it, define or refine it.

1. Nazis/Fascists: Used interchangeably by critics to label opponents, often diluting the historical definition to mean anyone with authoritarian tendencies.
2. Marxist/Communist/Socialist: Frequently used by conservative politicians to describe Democratic policies, often blurring the lines between social democracy (e.g., universal healthcare) and authoritarian state control.
3. Real Americans: A term used to imply a specific, often rural or culturally conservative, demographic, alienating urban or diverse voters.
4. Elites: A catch-all pejorative used to dismiss academics, journalists, coastal residents, or anyone with a college education.
5. Woke: Originally referring to awareness of social injustices, now used as a broad, often vague pejorative for any progressive social policy.
6. Threat to Democracy: Used by both sides to describe the other, often leading to voter fatigue and confusion over what constitutes an actual constitutional threat.
7. Lawfare: The use of legal systems and lawsuits to hinder political opponents, a term commonly used in the 2024 election cycle.
8. Globalist: Used to suggest that opponents prioritize international interests over national ones, sometimes acting as a dog whistle for anti-Semitic tropes.
9. Working Class: Often narrowly defined in political rhetoric to mean specific industrial or white voters, ignoring diverse, urban, or service-sector labor.
10. Systemic Racism: Frequently misinterpreted or misrepresented in public debate, causing confusion between personal prejudice and institutional disparities.
11. Border Czar: A non-existent title used to criticize Kamala Harris, which confuses voters about her actual, more limited, role in immigration policy.
12. Concepts of a Plan: Used to mock vague policy proposals, highlighting the lack of detailed legislation in campaign debates.
13. Independents or Double Haters or Nope not voting: refers to voters who have a negative view of both major party candidates, a significant, misunderstood group in 2024.
14. Replacement Theory: A term denoting a conspiracy theory, which causes confusion when it is subtly mainstreamed into arguments about immigration.

I find it curious that two such threads pop up at once. What media outlet has been pushing this talking point?

What do people call the ones who actually voted for him in '16? Republicans or mags?Were the Bernie bros (remember them) also magas? And was it Mags voting for him in 2020 or were they republicans? And what about '24?

I didn’t read the responses but here’s what I can tell you op.

Yes please call them maga. Trump hijacked thr party. 50% of the party went with him. And he took them to a place with zero principles, zero policy, nothing to stand on. It’s all the whims of his mind, no consistent thread.

So, yeah, there are republicans. Who are not maga. They want to get back to ANY policy. That’s why you see more infighting continue. Who’s going to land on top bc we know Trump can’t last past this year (or certainly not past 2028).

I’m an independent who leans conservative. The only party registration I did was before Trump to vote in my swing state primary, against him.

You might label me republican (half the time?) but I am not maga. I read and listen to people desperately upset that they did everything they could to hold together “their side” and it’s a mess.

Please explain yourself. Because I REALLY struggle to understand voters like you who are responsible for delivering this hell we are living through. It's not like you didn't know who he was and exactly what he wanted to do this time around.

There’s nothing MAGA about this administration which is heavily influenced, financed, and controlled by foreign interests.

“MAGA” is a term used to control the white proles in place like Ohio, Michigan, PA who love Trump but don’t see what he’s actually doing in Washington and Palm Beach where he’s surrounded by foreign influences.

Good example: the strike on Maduro - that was all propagated by the wealth expat Venezuelans in Florida. The country doesn’t matter, their oil is poor quality, it’s not a strategic interest.

When someone says they are MAGA, I know they are a sucker white person.
