That opinion piece that is both self referential and admits to the absurdity of using maga to refer to hyper partisanship since that already has a well defined term… Hyper partisanship.
Then there are the party’s elected representatives, who are busy marching in lockstep with the White House in public, while losing their shit in private. “On Capitol Hill, Democrats panic about Biden but do nothing,” read the headline in the New York Times. Sound familiar?
The party that mocked Republicans for slamming Trump in private while backing him in public is now doing the same with its own leader. At the time of writing, only about 20 congressional Democrats have called for Biden to step aside and yet reporting from the New York Times, the Washington Post, CNN, MSNBC and more, suggest dozens more are saying the same behind closed doors. Most elected Democrats believe Biden will struggle to win against Trump in November, noted Politico’s Rachael Bade last week, “even if they don’t say it on record”.
And what’s one of the main reasons why they won’t say it on the record? Because they’re afraid. That’s not my opinion – it’s theirs. “I wish I was more brave,” NBC News quoted one anonymous Democratic state party chair as saying. “I would be crucified by them if I spoke out of line.” This person spoke on the condition of anonymity, according to NBC, “because they fear retaliation from the president’s camp”. Again, sound familiar?
Consider this paragraph from the New York Times on Friday, referring to a Biden campaign event in Detroit which had the “flavor of a Trump rally at times”:
“When Mr Biden referred to his political opponent, there were chants of ‘Lock him up’ – which the president did not discourage. When he criticized news media coverage, big cheers followed, with his supporters turning to boo and point fingers at reporters.”
More importantly what do you believe it means. I know what it means because it’s literally marketing shit from 1978.
Nobody is referring to Reagan when they say MAGA.
Aside from trump and his team who stole it from Reagan so Reagan fans would go “ooo he’s so Reagan-esk” which worked and bought their vote.
Agreed that intelligent people do not see it that way yet Trump hand tend not to be terribly intelligent.
Similarly no one is referring to the Democratic party when they say maga, no one aside from you I suppose.
MAGA refers to Trump. Blue MAGA referers to establishment Democrats.
When liberals have no argument all they can do is try to win on semantics and hope nobody notices their double standards.
That opinion piece that is both self referential and admits to the absurdity of using maga to refer to hyper partisanship since that already has a well defined term… Hyper partisanship.
It sounds like hyper partisanship, no need to code shit in stupid ways call it what it is.
