Dark MAGA, that is the new rebranding effort for
Donald Trump as he runs for president in 2024.
He hasn't officially announced it, but we all know he's gonna do it.
And so Trump supporters wanna rebrand him.
They argued that he was just too polite, in 2020, and
that things need to change a little bit.
So they're going with this Dark MAGA theme, because they're children and they
think everything is a game, specifically like a video game with superhero.
So more of a meme than a political slogan, Dark MAGA is a post-alt-right
aesthetic that promotes an authoritarian version of Trump in dystopian,
terminator-like-images.
Dark MAGA supporters are calling for a ruthless, unforgiving version of Trump
because he was >> Because he is so light and fluffy now.
>> So light and fluffy,
to take revenge on his political enemies at the 2024 election.
So this has been popping up on Twitter lately with tens of thousands of tweets,
who knows if it's gonna catch on.
And I wanna be clear, Trump hasn't accepted this yet,
he's not taking this on.
But one of the things that they're using is images of Trump with laser eyes,
terminator eyes.
They're typically red, black and blue, here's another example, there we go.
Popular figures in the, right have been edited to have those eyes,
whatever there's Tucker Carlson, who cares.
So in the description of the Dark MAGA hashtag creator,
as described by the Global Network on Extremism and Technology.
Dark MAGA represents Napoleon, being exiled and then rising or
raising a ethnic army to attack Europe and attack the elites.
You guys.
Trump loves the elites, Trump can't get enough of the elites.
Trump is constantly on his knees seeking approval from the elites.
That's who Trump is, constantly, Trump plays golf with the elite,
Trump vacations with the elites.
He has his days spent at Mar-a-Lago where he's hobnobbing with them,
these people are so oblivious to who they're hero is, who their daddy is.
When are you guys gonna have that moment that most people have?
The moment where you grow up and you realize your parents aren't perfect.
And they aren't the superheroes that you thought they were,
they're human beings that make all sorts of mistakes.
In the case of Donald Trump, he's the antithesis of what they think he is.
>> Yeah, I remember what story we covered once where Trump was so
excited that Steve Wynn was gonna show up to one of his parties.
Cuz Steve Wynn is actual billionaire casino owner.
And he kept going around and telling people Steve Wynn is gonna come.
Steve Wynn is gonna come and he was so
excited that one of the elites was gonna attend this party, okay.
And let alone, by the way, the fact that he piled around with Jeffrey Epstein for
decades, and went to those parties as well.
Okay, so look, there's the funny side of this and
I had seen those laser eyes and I didn't know what the hell it was.
And now at least I know what it is and they're absurd and they're dorks and
all that stuff, sure.
But there's a super dark side to it too,
let me read you a graphic seven here from the Newsweek article.
"It's the realization that there is no political solution beyond vengeance",
tweets another user.
If you want to win, if you don't want to repeat the past, you have to get mean.
You almost have to embrace the villain role that they're bringing you with,
describes another supporter quoted by GNET.
So they realize they're the villains, they know they're the bad guys.
But they've taken it on and they're like, okay,
I'm tired of trying to reason things out, we're wrong, and
it's annoying, constantly being wrong.
So I'm just gonna own it and say yeah, I'm the bad guy,
I just wanna have power over you.
>> Yeah.
>> And I wanna abuse that power, so I want Trump to basically turn into Darth Vader
and I wanna be a StormTrooper, that's what Dark MAGA is about.
Well thank you for at least admitting it.
>> I just think it's super, you grow up,
you don't see women playing with Barbies and stuff these days, right?
They grow up, they grow out of it.
But these guys, it's like they're in this perpetual state of immaturity,
where everything is a video game, just grow up.
Video games are fun, don't turn politics into a video game.
