#BlueMAGA needs #MAGA as much as OG MAGA needs shitlibs. Two sides of the same coin, under the auspices of which nothing fundamentally changes. Perpetual gridlock alongside the silent upward transfer of wealth to the corporate oligarchy.

Philadelphia, 2016. Outside the Dunkin Donuts across the street from City Hall, very late one of those oppressively muggy nights. Attendees of the Democratic National Convention emerged from the subway station, hungry and tired.

Among a cluster of Hillary delegates-- you can tell from a block away, they're the ones dressed for a fancy cocktail party-- a man wearing a nice gray suit with a shiny pink tie and a convention lanyard sighed in tipsy happiness and said to me, "I don't know how anybody could have seen Obama's speech tonight and not feel inspired!"

Oh boy. Here we go. "Well, he's broken a lot of promises, and a lot of us just don't trust him anymore." I answered carefully.

"How could that be, what has Obama ever done wrong?"

"He supports the TPP, for one thing."

Laughing, he scoffed: "Who wants those jobs, anyway?" 

"I do." I held his eyes calmly. Unsmiling.

With absolutely no sign of awareness of the fact he'd just given a very casual finger to a huge swath of proud American labor, he rationally explained to me that the poor are only poor because they buy too many TVs. I told him slowly, "....That's class prejudice, right there. What you just said."

"Yes." he confirmed cheerfully, without hesitation.

I just stood there for several seconds staring at him with my mouth open. Stunned.

I remember telling him, "Obama dropped more bombs than the Bushes ever dreamed."

And that's when he lost his shit. He sputtered as if I'd slapped him, raised and pointed an accusing finger at me like this just turned into Invasion of the Bodysnatchers, and began screaming at me: "SHAME ON YOU! SHAME ON YOU!"

Bewildered, I tried to ask, "...Why? For what? What did I do?" Seriously, what the actual fuck. 

"SHAME ON YOU! SHAME ON YOU!!"

"Really?" What I would give to know what on earth was going through his head then, but his eyes had gone glassy. Furious, shaking, and red-faced, all he could do was repeat himself, completely unhinged. I shook my head at him, gave up, and turned away to remove myself from the situation. His shouts followed me across the street. 

"SHAME ON YOU! ....AND THAT'S COMING FROM A MAN IN A TIE!!" was his idea of a triumphant parting shot. 

That's the DNC in a nutshell, for me: smug, rotten aristocrats totally convinced that they're not morally bankrupt.

#BlueMAGA isn't about political power - it's the deformed offspring of Jon Stewart from the Bush era (not his fault). If you demonstrate that you're snarkier and smarter than the stupid CHUDs and hysterical leftists, then Obama will materialize, make the GOP go away, and let you get back to brunch.

Oh boy, it's that time again ! #VoterOutreach #BlueMAGA

It's not policy or power with #BlueMAGA. Supporting Biden lets them feel morally superior to the bad Trump people, but not risk changing the system that keeps them comfortable. It's also why their rage is saved for the #left, we're a threat to that self-image.

CNN is #BlueMAGA so I'm not really surprised that they're still platforming the face of #RedMAGA #ControlledOpposition

No Congrats Joe 👎

On #Mastodon no one is #shadowbanned, every toot is equal. 🥳

You're out of your #LeftTwitter filter bubble where you only get seen by a handful of your own.

So take advantage, by replying in #celebrity #BlueMAGA threads, tag some #TwitterVIPs, who didn't see you for years on #JackDorsey's hellsite.

They might still treat us as invisible here, but at least we know they saw our posts. 😅

The Democrats just screwed over rail workers and this Democrat apologist pos is cheering it on & 10k if his moronic #BlueMaga followers liked it. BOTH parties hate workers. This is why workers were desperate enough to vote Trump, & these propagandists couldn’t give a fuck. https://twitter.com/mmpadellan/status/1598020174527234048

Capitalism
#BlueMAGA Capitalism
Just declared war on the poor.
Not only will our police execute innocent people
But now we will have heartless mindless robots killing the poor for the police.
Who will be accountable for the injustices by robots?
NO ONE.

@Sigma so join the capitalists or else they will kill trans folk?
As a senior trans person with 5 decades of stab/slash wounds, busted skull, busted ribs, countless broken bones, PTSD, anxiety disorder, 1 bullet hole in me, +2 bullet holes in the front of my suburban home in #BlueMAGA capital Los Angeles CA.
So voting BlueMAGA capitalist is NOT helping reduce violence towards transfolk AT ALL.
