Right but it wasn’t that long ago that D was the hardcore racist party.

To blindly support a party no matter what is not something anyone should ever do or proclaim.

I think it’s pretty obvious that if the Democratic Party changed that drastically, the person you replied to would change their opinion. They are saying that because, at present, Republicans are far, far more dangerous.

Also, Democrats have been championing civil rights since JFK. Saying 1960 was not that long ago is silly. Suffering that 1866, which is when the poster you posted was made, is not that long ago when it comes to American politics is not even rational.

So why don’t people say that instead of such extremist language like “no matter what”?

Words matter. Blindly supporting or pretending you will blindly support a shit party because the other is worse is in no way shape or form a good thing.

Clearly just to upset you personally. No one else seems to have this issue.

Well because this community is pretty overwhelmingly blue maga I’m not really surprised.

Lots of people have issues with it, you just constantly ignore the voices and wonder “Why is Biden struggling to get voters?”

“Blue MAGA” is not a thing and there is not a chance you’ll turn it into one.

I don’t invent it, and it’s already out there in public usage and has been for months.

Literally the first time I've seen it. So not something I'd call a popular term.

I interpreted what they said as "in this election".

And even then, I also knew (from context) that they wouldn't continue to vote Democrat if the party changed so drastically.

Words matter, but so do context and inferences/implications
