    TBF, Blue MAGA on lemmy didn’t really come out of the wood work in full force until Biden stepped down.

    Now they’re blame shifting before Harris has even lost.

      Oh no they were definable here before. I’ve got the receipts, the saved threads , etc. I mean hell some are mods. But you know what happened? They dumped those accounts, if they weren’t super well known. if you want names I’ve got names.

        They were here before.

        But once Biden dropped the down votes for criticism of the Democrats got fierce.

        That’s all I’m saying.

          And you are 💯 correct. I’ve done my best to document it, because to me, its an incredibly important and interesting phenomena. It’s almost exactly what happens to MAGA in their toxic dismissal of a shared reality. I’m going to save this and when I’m a bit more ready with something, I may reach out.

        Hahaha yeah man people forget how vitriolic and cruel the Blues were when told their candidate might lose.

        Refuse to be told they might need to change tactics and double down on slamming face first into a brick wall for the sake of not having to question their beliefs and having someone else to blame.

        But they are coming back now again that the “hope” has worn off and nothing feels different. Got to punch down to keep their self cope up.

          That is a great way to out it. They wouldn’t be as emboldened if not for the also toxic moderation in this place .
