Coined in 2016 to describe Bernie Sanders supporters who act just like Trump supporters, the term is derived from Trump's "Make America Great Again" MAGA, and from the Democrats' association with Blue on Election Night, lending itself to terms like "Blue States."
In true Blue MAGA fashion, Blue MAGAs made a nonsensical comparison between Democrats' nonviolent resistance and Trump's violent attacks on nonviolent dissenters, and called mainstream Democrats "Blue MAGA," a technique Orwell Warned Us about in "Nineteen Eighty-Four."

Get the Blue MAGA mug.Trolling, which trolls call "Trying to engage in a controversial yet civil debate and requesting evidence from someone who refuses to provide such evidence to back up their claims." In short, sealioning is a form of censorship, in which case the trolls aim to exhaust free speech -- and if people block the toxic trolls, said trolls will just open up new accounts in the hope of making people be silent.
Used to accurately describe trolls who "request evidence" of things that any SINCERE person could just Google themselves, if they SINCERELY wanted to know anything. But this is simply not their true intent. They have been trained to exhaust any actual civil debate by popping up like a loud sea lion to frustrate and annoy people into not talking about things which offend said sealions.
"Sealioning" as a term is used to point out trolls' dishonesty by putting the blame where it belongs, on the one troll who tries to shout down SINCERE conversations by calling their trolling "debate."

Troll A : Can you give me a link to a study or article that validates your claim ?
Person A : Do you really need a study that validates my statement that water is wet? This sealioning is appallingly pathetic.
Person B : I have touched water, and it is indeed wet.
Troll A : Prove it !
Every rational person: Why do you feel it necessary to spend so much of your life sealioning? All you're doing is proving that no amount of "evidence" can sway you.

Canaanites who adopted Judaism moved into the area now known as Israel and Judah (which literally means "Land Of The Jews"). Later, Philistines, Aegean fishers, inhabited the area now known as Gaza. Colonizers and Oppressors attacked Israel/Judah, and Philistia. Historians, with the aid of genetic scientists, indicate Philistines they ceased to exist as a distinct group ~5th Century BC. Unlike their enemies in Philistia, Israel/Judah resisted and persisted. So, the Colonizers and Oppressors renamed Israel/Judah after their enemies. (Much like Trump tried to rename Denali "Mt. McKinley" again.) Thus, the region of Palestine was born -- much the way the US region of "The South" was born, on Cherokee land.
After WWII, antisemitic UK Colonizers and Oppressors reluctantly gave much of Israel back to Israel, but gave two parts of Israel to others in exchange for peace neighbors gave. Time and again, Israel resisted and persisted.
A Free "Palestine" elected Hamas. Taking advantage of rising worldwide fascism, Hamas broke a ceasefire to attack a music festival and commit numerous Crimes Against Humanity. These crimes continue every day that Hamas holds hostages. Yet, anything Israel does to bring back its people and bring the War Criminals to justice is labeled as "Palestinian Genocide."

"Damn that Palestinian Genocide! I'm glad Rashida Tlaib doesn't condemn rape!"
"Oh, Hamas used the pipes it was given for water infrastructure to make a rocket, which Hamas fired at Israeli civilian centers, only Hamas' rocket fell inside Gaza? That's a 'Palestinian Genocide,"'and not by Hamas, but by the INTENDED VICTIMS in Israel!"

Many people, even those who claim to hate Reaganomics/Neoliberalism, will argue things like, "If you cancel the student debt of people who had the collateral to take out HUGE loans, and whose annual income exceeds their total student debt, that money will 'trickle down' to others."
That's wrong. That's Paul Ryan's "I Got Mine Now Fuck You" economic plan.
Some will say, Populism -- rule by the "pure" -- is more important than social progress. All it really means is, all of these "progressive" economic plans do indeed help White Hetero Affluent Males climb higher, but at the expense of the Blue Collar Working Class. These Populists may claim this is all part of Class Warfare against the top 2% -- but rather than punch up, they are punching down at legislation that means equal progress for women, people of color, the LGBTQ+ community, et al. It is stealing from the poor to give to the Affluent White Collar Middle Class, who in turn never do overturn tax codes and other pyramid schemes that give to the Rich. Thus, Reverse Robin Hood.

The Far Right Tea Partiers adopted the Red MAGA hat as their emblem.
Likewise, the Horseshoe Left showed their solidarity by choosing the MAGA Red Tea Rose as their emblem.
Many accounts on social media which put the MAGA Red Tea Rose in their handle or bio are, in fact, not real people, but the continued internet presence of fake bot accounts. Hence, Rosebot.

By December 2015, Russia had also secured the services of professional unserious candidate of the Green Party, Jill Stein.
While she claims to be representing an "environmental" Party, her record has supported Petroleum Putin as much as her MAGA Red Russian Tea Party cohorts'. Recently, these "environmentalists" couldn't even bring themselves to sanction Russian fossil fuels after Russia attacked Ukraine, and even threatened the world with a new nuclear catastrophe!
