MAGApathy
MAGApathy
MAG-uh-path-ee · noun
A willful state of moral indifference in which loyalty to Donald J Trump and the MAGA movement overrides empathy, truth, democratic principles, and concern for anyone outside one’s own tribe.
MAGApathy is the ability to excuse cruelty, corruption, hypocrisy, and harm—so long as the consequences fall on immigrants, minorities, poor people, disabled people, political opponents, or anyone else deemed undeserving. It is not simply ignorance or ordinary apathy; it is selective compassion switched off for political convenience.
In plain English: “It doesn’t matter until it happens to me—and even then, I’ll blame someone else.”
