"Make America Great Again", but at the time, I wasn't sure if he realized that it could and would be turned into something that sounds like MAGGOT. Well, his braindead base didn't seem to mind being called MAGATs (much like the clueless Teabaggers before them), so I guess he just embraced it.

This is a guy he called his supporters "poorly educated" and it didn't bother them. Maybe they thrive on insults? I don't think I'll ever understand all of this.

They get all upset when we call them Maga. Walleye Jul 2024 #2

Lately they've been adopting the term, example as in "so-and-so is full maga". . . . . nt Bernardo de La Paz Jul 2024 #4

Which is funny, they love to own it, but they hate when Leader Jeffries calls them extreme mega republicans the House Walleye Jul 2024 #5

One and the same. Bannon claims Drumph is a moderate magat. Evolve Dammit Jul 2024 #110

Well in truth, Trump isn't a real MAGAT PatSeg Jul 2024 #112

I thought he coined the term? Evolve Dammit Jul 2024 #114

Well, he started out using PatSeg Jul 2024 #116

All I know is the Tea Party was in response to Wall Street criminality and 2008 meltdown. Then co-opted by Evolve Dammit Jul 2024 #118

Actually, the Kochs were in it from the beginning. LudwigPastorius Jul 2024 #120

Good note. Thanks Evolve Dammit Jul 2024 #126

Yes, the Tea Party evolved PatSeg Jul 2024 #122

You left out beer boy. I think there is a certain loyalty from their being appointed; at least MAGA expects that. Evolve Dammit Jul 2024 #124

Ah yes, "a good old boys club" PatSeg Jul 2024 #127

Just like the teabaggers got all upset about being called teabaggers. Buns_of_Fire Jul 2024 #11

Of course they're upset. The word is maggot. 3Hotdogs Jul 2024 #32

They proudly called themselves, Maga and wear it on their hats. We don't do that. Walleye Jul 2024 #40

How about when they are called republican MAGAts? BoRaGard Jul 2024 #67

I don't really use that. Too confusing. Maga is sufficient to describe them. Walleye Jul 2024 #69

MAGA is close to "maggot" so that's what I think of whenever I use it. calimary Jul 2024 #90

I don't like insulting the maggots though Walleye Jul 2024 #96

Well, there is that. calimary Jul 2024 #123

Yeah, I've been calling them MAGATS for a long time PatSeg Jul 2024 #113

I call them magaloons or MAGA zombies now! kimbutgar Jul 2024 #83
