Blue MAGA is a pejorative term used to compare some supporters of Democratic politicians, such as US president Joe Biden, to former president and current president-elect Donald J. Trump's supporters (known for the slogan "Make America Great Again", MAGA). The term is used to criticize a perceived cult-like dedication to the Democratic Party and use of conspiracy theories to explain opposition to Democratic candidates, and dismissal of news organizations or polling that does not reflect well on them.[1][2][3] Other social media users have denounced the term as false equivalence.[4]
