Blue MAGA is a term used to compare some supporters of Democratic politicians, such as US president Joe Biden, to former president 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 Biden as a person and use of conspiracy theories to explain opposition to Biden's 2024 presidential candidacy, and dismissal of news organizations or polling that does not reflect well on Biden.[1][2][3] Other social media users denounce the term as false equivalence.[4]
