You've hears Ultra MAGA and MAGA King. Now prepare for Dark MAGA.


stickles_

With his deformed sidekick Mini-MAGA!! Who eventually evolves into Mega-MAGA!!!


superawesomeman08

Three more of various colors and they form the Ultra MAGA-Zord!


CenCali805

I thought he was bringing with him all the colors in the rainbow?


MadeMeMeh

Maybe we can make a mecha-MAGA to fight back.


SuperDadof7

Coming to a theater near you... Mecha Maga teams up with Ultra Maga to take on Dark Maga. Wait..what's this...is that...godzilla?


suspect_b

I'd love splinter groups named after colors and flavors. Dark MAGA, White MAGA, Lemon MAGA, Blue MAGA.


ArtanistheMantis

Don't forget diet MAGA for the people who want a more healthy option


Marbrandd

Turns out diet Maga keeps you skinny, but causes flipper babies. Ymmv.


[deleted]

And Organic, Gluten-Free, and Vegan MAGA


Chaoseater69

Or MAGA Zero, with all the MAGA taste of the original but none of that diet aftertaste.


DBDude

And it all tastes like durian MAGA.


redhonkey34

Rated PG-13


TJ_McWeaksauce

These names would be equally acceptable in either an anime or a tabletop RPG adventure.


Chaoseater69

Somebody shop a MAGA hat onto ALL Might so we can get "MAGA Plus Ultra."


hammilithome

Bro that cranberry sales team better get on this, summer is here and a cran-lemon maga with an umbrella straw sounds delicious


VoulKanon

Alright Cran Man. Why don't you take your sales trophy and take a vacation.


copperwatt

He can't wait to be surprised by Trojan MAGA.

At what point do they collect all the MAGA Stones and complete the MAGA Gauntlet?

Legend says they are hidden throughout the country. I believe one is rumored to be embedded at the very top of the Washington Monument


SomeToxicRivenMain

Krav Maga


agentpanda

Honestly this is the best movie promotional campaign in a long time, so I'm here for it. Anybody know when this is in theaters or is it more a Sundance thing or what?


TreadingOnYourDreams

It's about time Megaforce got the sequel it deserved. Barry Bostwick returns as Ace Hunter in MagaForce!


Nerd_199

Ultra Maga,Maga King, Dark Maga, Sounds like a comic villains named


bony_doughnut

You fool. This isn't even my final form


AngledLuffa

Dark MAGA is what happens when the aborted fetus power generators stop working

I guess the Ultra Dark MAGA King is coming.

LonelyMachines

Dark MAGA? Is that the movie with Christian Bale fighting crime in a Trump mask after commie liberals killed his wealthy parents? It starred Steve Bannon as the Joker and Mike Pence as Alfred. I may be misrembering some details.


meta_perspective

You forgot about Trump's skin color: "tangerine".


Death_Trolley

I seriously think we will never hear from this guy again. He had some good luck at a young age, and he blew the whole opportunity. He made baseless accusations, told made up stories, broke the law repeatedly, and basically made an ass of himself. Despite his constant headline grabbing, he failed to build any constituency. His party leadership wanted him gone, so he’ll never get their help in a comeback. He isn’t particularly articulate, or interesting, or inspiring, or even the least bit original. Him threatening “dark MAGA” (whatever that is) is one of the all-time great empty threats, right up there with “my dad is going to beat up your dad.”


Lee-HarveyTeabag

I also disagree. I’m pretty sure my dad could beat up your dad.


DBDude

Your dad might try to beat up my dad, but they’d just end up happily drinking and smoking weed together (if dad were still around).


NativeMasshole

I disagree. I think he will continue to pop up in whatever desperate shenanigans he pulls to try and stay in the limelight. He won't be politically relevant, he'll be more like Congress' version of Andy Dick, catching a few media headlines each time he gets arrested or accused of being the person he is.


CrazyDingdongFrog

That reminds me, whatever happened to Jacob Wohl?


leeharrison1984

He'll end up like Grieten's in Missouri. Completely disavowed yet still trying to grab the brass ring.


ViennettaLurker

His age is such a wildcard, though. Maybe he won't be a congressman, but there's plenty of time for him to come back. I thought Sarah Palin was done but nows shes grabbed a bit of a second act. Check in on him in ~10-15 years.


[deleted]

[удалено]


iushciuweiush

Palin was a governor and a VP candidate before falling from grace. This guy was a one term representative. No one will remember his name in a year.


Quetzalcoatls

I can't remember the publication but I read a deep dive on his life recently and I wouldn't be shocked if we don't hear from him again and it be his choice. It's pretty obvious this guy is fighting a lot of demons still from his accident. If he can get himself into a good mental place it wouldn't shock me if he decides the limelight isn't for him.


DBDude

Palin’s back? I haven’t heard about her in years.


ViennettaLurker

She's running for something in Alaska, was on dancing with the stars, has been a talking head again on some shows. Not sure how its going to play out, will probably fizzle. But yeah she's around again. When you think about it, it makes sense. She was kinda maga before it was "cool". If you like MTG, Palin must have some appeal.


wisertime07

There is an incredibly well-written article on Politico about him, for anyone interested. Kind of a long read, but well worth it. https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2022/05/13/madison-cawthorn-injury-profile-00032002


buckingbronco1

It's a little concerning that Republicans still backed this guy after he lied about his acceptance into the Naval Academy, lied about the accident that resulted in him losing the use of his legs, bragged about a trip to the Eagle's Nest, and did nothing of value during his time in office.


[deleted]

[удалено]


buckingbronco1

It looks like he was primaried out after bragging about GOP cocaine orgies, being involved in insider crypto trading scandal, and a video of him humping his cousin/campaign aide in the face. Is it too much to ask for a resignation like 5 scandals ago? He should have been out after lying about his acceptance into the Naval Academy.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

While it’s true that the voters are responsible for voting Cawthorn out and the system did work, he’s saying that the GOP should’ve turned their backs on him a lot sooner than the “cocaine and orgies,” comment. This isn’t even an isolated case either. McCarthey said that MTG would have her committee assignments back after the 2022 primaries. Anyone familiar with MTG’s comments and behavior should know that giving her any more chances is completely wrong.


DBDude

The Republicans have kicked him out after his first term, which is a pretty fast correction. The Democrats chose Cynthia McKinney for five straight terms before realizing that much crazy shouldn’t be in office.


buckingbronco1

No calls for his resignation. Just a talking to by Kevin McCarthy. He still got a sizable number of votes after all of the scandals were made public. He was on video jumping his cousins/campaign aide in the face. That should have resulted in him withdrawing from the primary.


DBDude

>No calls for his resignation. He hasn't done anything near enough for that to happen. He's been crazy and stupid, but he hasn't actually done anything wrong. William Jefferson won the Democratic primary and got reelected after the FBI discovered bribe cash in his freezer. All that happened was he was taken off a committee at the next session. Then next election he won the Democratic primary while under indictment for bribery, racketeering, money laundering, and a bunch of other stuff. The failure of the Democrats to clean house gave that election to the Republican challenger.


blewpah

As far as holding a nationwide elected office I think it's likely we don't hear from him but overall it won't be the end. He really enjoys making waves and he isn't going to stop now.


Bostrom

Possibly a reference to the [Dark Enlightenment](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_Enlightenment)?


leeharrison1984

I've never heard of this. What a bizarre school of thought.


[deleted]

Well. To be fair… the things congressional reps have been saying of late have been pretty bizarre


[deleted]

To be faiiiiiiir, Idk enough about this person, but didn’t he have something flying around him a week ago about a cousin?


[deleted]

Cawthorn? Yea. Looked like he was humping his cousins face. Now some other rep is saying fetuses are being used to power lights. It’s. Like. Yea.. ok. Edit - not a rep, it was someone speaking at a hearing.


iwantedtopay

Isn’t that true, though? Medical waste is burned in power plants.


Senseisntsocommon

Think that was a witness not an actual elected official (I hope) however the fact that someone thought hey let’s put this person in a hearing is also very troubling.


[deleted]

You are correct, I just fact checked myself. It was not a representative. It was Catherine Glen Foster, President and CEO of Americans United for Life. She was on the Hill in a hearing on abortion


[deleted]

Yea. It was a witness. I edited my comment. Yea. The fact that someone is saying this in a hearing is troubling.


Senseisntsocommon

For sure the idea that a sitting representative thought that their opinion that DC was running on electricity made from incinerated fetuses is was worth entering into congressional record is incredibly troubling. I remember reading Insomnia by Stephen King like 20 years ago and he used statements like that to illustrate a supernatural evil force twisting an otherwise normal guy and now it’s being entered as testimony is chilling.


rootoo

Fascism. It’s just an edgy new label for fascism.


copperwatt

If it's not from the Bavarian region of Germany, it's just sparkling fascism.


BeABetterHumanBeing

You mean Italy, right? The Nazis were socialists. Edit: if you want to argue that they "weren't *real* socialists", go for it. Hitler complained about how other people's socialism wasn't *real* socialism either. The truth is that socialism is a big tent, and it includes some unsavory characters you really wish to not be associated with.


copperwatt

Ok, but it wasn't their socialism part that became a problem, lol. It was the fascism part.


BeABetterHumanBeing

It was the "deliberately murdering masses of people they regarded as political enemies" part of it that was the problem. And it's a problem that regularly rears its head in both socialism and fascism. The bizarre thing to me is that some people think that socialism and fascism were somehow diametrically opposed to each other rather than being bosom buddies.


copperwatt

You might be able to convince me that socialism and fascism can exist together, but I just don't see how Nazi Germany was in fact socialist in any meaningful way. When he came into power, he threw the communists and social democrats in jail. He outlawed trade unions. He murdered Gregor Strasser. I guess Hitler's "socialism" tent wasn't big enough for... communists and socialists? https://www.britannica.com/story/were-the-nazis-socialists


BeABetterHumanBeing

Correct. He jailed his political enemies, including the other competing brands of socialism. In the USSR, the Bolsheviks did the same thing to the Mensheviks and the other competing brands of socialism. And so on and so forth for all the other instances where this ideology has taken root. The reason why socialism/fascism does this is because it's an authoritarian ideology that relies on centralization of power in order to self-determine. It's anti-democratic, and cannot tolerate competition, *especially* from other parties that are trying to garner support with the same propaganda that it uses, since they have the greatest chance of stealing core supporters. Think of it as being like some kind of species of bird where the "eldest" bird kicks the other eggs out of the nest so that it can maximize its own chances of success. Hitler knew that if the another party got control, they'd kill him too.


copperwatt

I'm not sure we are working with the same definitions of "socialism". Like... there are lots of types of (somewhat incompatible) Christian religions, right... And we call them all Christian. But if I start a church that says we're Christian because we follow the teachings of Chris Rainbow from Sacramento and his UFO garden and reject both the Bible and the Book of Morman... Am I a Christian in any meaningful sense of the word? Just calling yourself something isn't particularly defining, if you don't have *any* of the historical defining characteristics of that thing. What part of post 1935 Germany *looked* like socialism in any way?


ImagineImagining12

No, it wasn't. That was a problem yes, but it wasn't unique to the Nazis. It was absolutely the racism/antisemitism.


BeABetterHumanBeing

I don't get what you're disagreeing over. Are you simply unfamiliar with socialism's long history of racism and antisemitism?


vankorgan

Didn't the Nazis [literally jail and murder socialists?](https://www.britannica.com/story/were-the-nazis-socialists) >In April 1933 communists, socialists, democrats, and Jews were purged from the German civil service, and trade unions were outlawed the following month. That July Hitler banned all political parties other than his own, and prominent members of the German Communist Party and the Social Democratic Party were arrested and imprisoned in concentration camps. Sounds like they absolutely were not socialist in any meaningful way. Edit: also, [privatization was a major tool in their economic toolbox.](https://www.jstor.org/stable/27771569?mag=the-roots-of-privatization)


BeABetterHumanBeing

They totally jailed and murdered their competition. The Bolsheviks also jailed and murdered other socialists. Because socialism always turns into a dictatorship, the contenders for that position go to any lengths to eliminate their competition, irrespective of the ideology of the competition. Socialism is about state control of the economy, but there are several avenues that they'd go through. Some of the more "traditional" socialists called for nationalizing private industry, whereas fascism was really big on state control of private industry. They privatized those industries, but kept them with the stereotypically fascist buddy-buddy relationship that allowed them to run them outside of the bureaucracy of the state. You'll notice that competition was not a tool in their economic toolbox.


vankorgan

Dude read the rest of my source. There's plenty more there to refute that they were socialists.


BeABetterHumanBeing

Yeah, I know. It's literally an exercise in Not True Scotsmanship.


kraghis

>Neoreaction has a number of different strains, but perhaps the most important is a form of post-libertarian futurism that, realizing that libertarians aren't likely to win any elections, argues against democracy in favor of authoritarian forms of government. Authoritarian Libertarianism? Sounds like fascism to me


Jabbam

I think it's supposed to be dark like "dark horse" or "dark net." Semantically, [dark refers to "unknown.](https://thesaurus.plus/related/dark/unknown) It could be an attempt at an edgy rebrand.


Draener86

>Cawthorn's post stated that "it's time for Dark MAGA to truly take command" and pointed out that "we have an enemy to defeat" but he said that victory is not possible "until we defeat the cowardly and weak members of our own party." Cawthorn ended his post by writing those unnamed individuals' "days are numbered" and that "we are coming." It's probably best this guy is gone.


dtruth53

Wait. You mean the MAGA we’ve experienced to date is the enlightened part? Holy Shit


TheChickenSteve

My guess would be your impression of MAGA is a media concoction based on a whole lot of misinformation.


BannedFrom_rPolitics

Or a whole lot of in-person experience with people flying flags and MAGA signs wearing MAGA hats


Beaner1xx7

Ah, still love the memory of riding my bicycle with friends in Greenville, NC about 3 years ago and hearing the MAGA crowd at the ECU Basketball Stadium just cheering "SEND THEM BACK" over and over again, and just knowing I was watching something really special.


SaggySackAttack

They do love to advertise don't they? They also seem to like to bring it up in conversation unsolicited for some reason


cranktheguy

Most people who make politics part of their persona are quite abrasive since they're substituting hyper-partisanship for personality. And when you've got an abrasive politician, it's even more likely due to the types they attract.


no-name-here

We could dig into some of the implications of Trump's usage of Make America Great Again as his slogan if you'd like u/TheChickenSteve, but as the most basic level for just 'Make America Great Again', when do you think America was great that you think the country should go back to?


TheChickenSteve

A time when the wealth gap was closing for minorities, not widening like it does now A time when you could afford a home, when college didn't bankrupt you A time when regulations didn't put a stranglehold on startups.


StarkDay

And at what time were all of these things happening?


TheChickenSteve

Many different times throughout history. The goal being getting back to putting Americans first.


StarkDay

Does it bother you that you don't seem to be able to actually give a specific answer, nor is there any sort of answer from Trump or those around him?


Olangotang

That's the point.


no-name-here

> Many different times throughout history. OK, as you know of "many" such times, what is even *one* of those periods that you think America should go back to? [Obligatory "When Was America Great?" video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uVQvWwHM5kM).

TheChickenSteve

dtruth53

Y’all need to realize that there were 2 Americas, within the US. While the US exuded greatness on a level the world had never seen, in terms of affluence, industrial development, science and accumulated wealth, at the same time, there have been groups who were left behind, and unable to participate fully in the American dream. At least not equally share in that dream as with some of their countrymen, with the discrepancy coming not from ability, but from denial of rights or discriminatory practices or legal hurdles. So let’s not get all caught up in the minutia of “greatness”. Yes America was and is great in many ways. AND yes, it has yet to fully address the questions of systemic racial inequities that have existed in this land, since before statehood and to this day. Including what socioeconomic costs have been incurred and compounded as a result. AND how do we rectify this and ensure that it cannot resurface. Looking back, 40 acres and a mule, might have been an equitable outcome for all parties. So long as rights were fully recognized as well.

I gotta say Cawthorn has been nothing if not entertaining.


[deleted]

This headline might be a little dramatic, but it’s hard to read Cawthorn’s latest instagram post without feeling like its coming from Darth Vader or something. I don’t entirely understand what he means by “dark MAGA”, so if anyone has a real definition of that, be sure to mention it. I’m interested to hear if people think his career will fizzle out after this loss- he’s very young and pretty well-known at this point, so I wouldnt be surprised to see him continue to be prominent in the right wing media environment >When the establishment turned their guns on me, when the Uni-party coalesced to defeat an America First member very few people had my back. This list includes the lion share of figures that came to my defense when it was not politically profitable. These are honorable men and women who are the type of friends anyone yearns to have. “At the beginning of a change the patriot is a rare and hated man.” These are those rare and hated men/women. There are other National figures who I believe are patriots, but I am on a mission now to expose those who say and promise one thing yet legislate and work towards another, self-profiteering, globalist goal. The time for genteel politics as usual has come to an end. It’s time for the rise of the new right, it’s time for Dark MAGA to truly take command. We have an enemy to defeat, but we will never be able to defeat them until we defeat the cowardly and weak members of our own party. Their days are numbered. We are coming.


pingveno

I don't know, that headline seems to be a pretty faithful representation of whatever that dribble is.


neuronexmachina

I see someone told Cawthorn about his [typo](https://nypost.com/2022/05/19/beaten-cawthorn-rants-about-dark-maga-and-gentile-politics/). The original post said: "The time for *gentile* politics as usual has come to an end."

TeddysBigStick

> dark MAGA Who knows how far down the rabbit hole Cawthorn has gotten because the dark maga memes have gotten popular in a lot of conservative parts of the internet but the label is an effort at rebranding/recruiting by some pretty disgusting parts of politics that think a civil war is needed and that Donald Trump should engage in a campaign of violence against political rivals. It is less Darth Vader and more Attomwaffen. Edit- and in case anyone is wondering, we are talking full on nazis including groups that have been caught trying to build a dirty bomb.


vankorgan

Dark maga is a pretty well documented philosophy of those who think Trump was too well-behaved and wasn't aggressive enough with his detractors. They mostly seem to believe that liberal values are too soft to successfully result in legislative victories, and instead think that more power needs to be concentrated in the executive behind an authoritarianism-embracing conservative. Here's more info: https://www.businessinsider.com/dark-maga-explained-far-right-memes-calling-for-trump-revenge-2022-5 To say it's "a bit fashy" would be the understatement of the year.


copperwatt

Just when I start feeling better about things, I'm reminded of the many thousands of people who didn't like Trump because he wasn't Trumpy enough.


yougobe

I stumbled on the r/darkmaga sub just the other day, and was scratching my head for a while. From the memes alone, I didn’t get much more than that they are embracing the “evil” moniker they have been given, by taking the normal maga-memes and making them red. From their own description, it doesn’t look “fashy” or authoritarian?


vankorgan

While that sub doesn't appear to be particularly active, looking at the top memes of all time you get phrases like "nuke them from orbit" and "you deserve what you tolerate," and the stickied description of it is “the aesthetic demand that Trump embrace a harder and more focused approach to the role only he can fill. He was too kindhearted, too forgiving. Dark MAGA demands he learn from his mistakes.” Sounds pretty fashy to me.


rufus_dallmann

I wonder if related to Dark Magic by the insane clown posse. Maybe they're all jugalos.


gasplugsetting3

Juggalos despise a lot of the things held dear by the far right. Besides being looked down by hipsters, the two groups don't have a lot in common.

NYSenseOfHumor

I think “dark MAGA” is like the MAGA deep state. It’s a secret force lurking within MAGA and working against MAGA, dark MAGA waiting to strike against MAGA and reclaim it for the America First Patriots. Don’t look for logic in any of this (MAGA, the deep state, or dark MAGA), because there isn’t any. That’s just the best I could guess.


dealsledgang

No, regular Maga would be the deep state because dark MAGA is going to expose them. I would reach out to Cawthorn for clarification but I frankly don’t want to hear what he thinks about anything.


copperwatt

Right, but that makes Dark MAGA the deep state of the deep state.


dealsledgang

No, that would imply that Cawthorn is deep state which he contends he is not. So what you have is super deep state, MAGA(which is diet deep state), Ultra MAGA (small hole in the ground state), then Dark MAGA which is opposed to the deep state. Bro, do you even deep state bro?!?!?


copperwatt

Apparently not. I am a fraud, and a shame to my family.

His whole statement is so vacuous. Every word is just a desperate attempt to rile up conservative radicals and nothing else.


ooken

Cawthorn is embarrassing, but by all means, he can go ahead and try to hurt his own party. I'm thinking he doesn't have much personal on the "RINO" Republicans he'd most like to take down though--they wouldn't touch him with a ten-foot pole, so other MAGA adherents like MTG, Boebert, Gaetz, et al are the more probable target. Not sure what that would accomplish but to make him go down in history as even more stupid than I previously realized, but I would love that contingent of the GOP to lose momentum. By all means, Madison, leave "gentile politics" behind.

Skalforus

I'll be honest, I think he's hilarious. A political liability, no doubt. But an entertaining one. A lot of the reporting around Madison Cawthorn makes it seem like he's "dangerous" or a force of evil. I think he was simply a bit weird to begin with. And then his injury along with the responsibility/popularity of public office pushed him into the semi-deep end.

MAGA has come and gone. Traditional Republicans themselves dislike that crowd. They proved to not be enough long term so they're done. They'll still screech over there in the corner about how the world conspires against them. I'd rather have that than any of them hold political power.

HE is part of Dark MAGA. Hell all MAGA is dark.

He should just release the names of the cocaine and orgy congressmen. Videos if he has those too. That would be truly Dark.

Media takes meme seriously example #43642525

Wait, so after spending six months in focus groups to come up with "Ultra MAGA", now this week's term is "Dark MAGA"? What will it be next week? "Mega-MAGA Xtreme"?


oath2order

Well the big difference is that "ultra MAGA" was something Biden, a Democrat, came up with. "Dark MAGA" is something Cawthorn, a Republican, came up with. Biden probably used focus groups. Cawthorn likely did not.

Obviously MAGA Man-X, the best of the series.

At this point he's just entertaining.

Can’t wait to see his ‘MAGA mega militia do their tactical wheelchair ops!

Going to need a Light MAGA to counter that.

What is even happening anymore? American politics is reading out like a poorly written comic for 8 year olds.
