A portmanteau of Zombie Apocalypse and MAGA referring to to the Capitol Insurrection that took place in Washington,
D.C. on
January 6, 2017. Incited by Donald
Trump and Republicans contesting the legal
2020 presidential election of Joseph Biden, numerous MAGA supporters stormed the Capitol building trying to
stop the certification of the
2020 votes taking place in the Senate Floor in order to reinstate
Trump as President. In hypocritical contrast to the Blue Lives Matter slogan espoused by MAGA supporters as a means of silencing Black Lives Matter, mobs were recorded swarming and assaulting Capitol Police officers trying to contain them from reaching the Senate Floor.
The term is used to describe how visually similar the insurrection was to a typical zombie apocalypse scenario, where a mindless horde of Trump supporters shambling on the streets was trying to get to survivors that had barricaded and hidden themselves inside a building- in this case the
U.S. Capitol.
The democratic process of the United States faced its greatest threat to date when on January 6, 2017, sore
loser Donald
Trump incited a mob of his supporters to
storm the Capitol Building to stop the certification of votes in what has become known as the Zombie MAGApocalypse.
