I can only quote my trans friend/former coworker - "At least he isn't trying to have me killed".

I'm not here to debate Newsom, who I think sucks, his position on trans folks being one part of that. But again, calling him/his supporters equal to maga.... that I cannot do.

Glad to see it was reversed!

That doesn't make "blue maga" any more real though, nor does supporting Newsom (ew) in any way make them equivalent to the cult of maga.

I'm all for calling out the regressive policies and political figures who are clearly in the wrong on many topics, as well as pointing it out the truth to supporters, but I'm not into disinformation campaigns. That is the type of bullshit that got us here.

I would have to very much disagree that this is equivalent to:

House covered in Trump signs, Republican Signs, painted red, white, and blue

Person being interviewed by USA Today with Trump jacket, mirror sunglasses

Tesla Cybertruck plastered with Trump 2024 stickers and multiple Trump/MAGA flags

I'm not a party line supporter by any stretch, but equating what you posted against... This nonsense... is, at best, misleading.

More accurately though, its outright disinformation to encourage people to believe an equivalence in the cult behavior that just doesnt exist.

I will happily change my mind when I see something remotely similar to the randomly selected images that come up immediately in the results that I just posted.

Until then, "blue maga" is just nonsense.

I was referring to the most recent, specifically.

The mod who made those actions has been a frequent PTB, and has tried to start a "war" on some instances.

So that is not the "proof" you think it is, FYI.

You're just a 'team blue' maga type

If I search for "maga house", "maga car", "maga outfit", I'm going to get some very specific images as a result.

Please show me an example of this "blue maga" in image form.

Oh, oh

I'm doing this tonight, you're probably gonna start a fight...

Well this looks fun to try out — I'll have to install it later and give it a go!

(Sorry couldn't resist with the em dash)

But I will give it a try later on, been playing around with auth options lately

🎉🎉

Edit: I do like topics

You have to go pretty far into pedantry... Which makes it a huge reach.

Its a valid comment to say its a reach, and also extremely valid to say this mod was reaaaaaaaccchhhing with their actions.
