    ah, so Blue Maga is literally just whataboutism crafted by the right to distract over wanting to turn america into a fasciat christian theocracy with Project 2025.

    This person thinks you’re stupid. Vote blue everyone! this person isn’t even from a democratic country!

      No, it’s really not whataboutism. I first heard about it from the QAA Podcast, which examines at right-wing extremism with a focus on QAnon, in about 2017 or 2018 (EDIT: actually, now that I think about it, it was probably closer to 2021/2022). They did an episode examining BlueAnon grifters and how they employ the same basic strategies as the the QAnon influencers that used to, “decode,” Q posts. Since then, I’ve heard BlueAnon or Blue MAGA come in and out of fashion a few times.

      Disinformation will spread in any echo chamber, which is why it’s always important to examine if what you believe is true, or just something you’d like to believe. For example, my post explaining Blue MAGA has been downvoted 19 times, but you are the only one who’s attempted to refute what I’ve said, and your response has been to call Blue Anon a right-wing psy-op and imply I’m a Russian agent, without evidence for either claim. Does that seem like reality, or a narrative you’ve constructed to reject reality?
