the modhatter's definitions
A US voter on the Horseshoe Left whose support for Bernie Sanders, AOC (short for Agent Of Chaos), or other Alt Left figures mirrors the emotional fervor of Donald Trump supporters. This typically involves lionizing political figures as larger-than-life and saintly, buying political merchandise, and generally treating politics more akin to a sports team or cultural lifestyle.
A portmanteau of "blue" (the color most frequently associated with Blue Dog Democrats) and "MAGA" (Make America Great Again, Donald Trump's 2016 election slogan).
A more conspiratorially-minded Blue MAGA would be called a BlueAnon (Blue + QAnon).

Get the Blue MAGAmug. Today, as Ukraine is still suffering during Putin's #WarOfAggression, Elizabeth Warren continued to not care, opting instead to raise funds FOR HERSELF, with the hashtag #DBFH. Sources close to the bloody & teeth gingivitis Senator confirm, the letters stand for Dumb Berniecrat From Hell.
"Berniecrats KNOW that Putin is a dictator who rigs elections, right? So how can an ILLEGITIMATE DICTATOR have "legitimate" security concerns???"

Get the DBFHmug. Noun
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.

"They can't REALLY believe the Socialists™ would give a trillion dollars to cancel the student loan debt of the rich, can they?"

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.

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."

"Did you hear about that 12 year old girl in France who was gang-raped for being Jewish?"
"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 politicians and supporters identify as Never Trump, but on a social progress scale, 100 being truly, meaningfully for progress, and -100 representing the regressiveness of Trump, many of these people are at -99. This is true of Republicans like Romney, Kinzinger, and Cheney, who still vote over 90% with Trump's radically conservative positions, and is also true in Horseshoe Theory, among people who CLAIM to care about things like climate change, reparations, voting rights, gun reform, et al, but say they will sit out the election, or, worse, actively carry water for the GOP, if the 48 Democrat Senators don't magically act like a 68-seat Supermajority.
MAGAdjacent can also be used as a noun to describe people whose political outcomes match the definition above.

Coined in 2016, as voters recognized that Bernie Bros were acting exactly like their GOP counterparts. Which made more sense the more we learned that Putin supported both Trump and Sanders in several ways.
