magatist

A colloquial and often critical term used to describe adherents of the MAGA (Make America Great Again) movement—those who strongly support Donald Trump, his policies, and his populist-nationalist ideology. The term blends “MAGA” with the ideological suffix “-ist,” implying a more rigid or doctrinaire allegiance to the movement. Often used in political commentary, satire, or social discourse to characterize individuals who demonstrate unwavering loyalty to Trump, particularly those who reject mainstream conservative norms in favor of his brand of politics. Typically pejorative or mocking; not used in formal or neutral contexts. "Magatists" are not just voters — they are zealots of a political brand rooted in grievance, nostalgia, and an unyielding allegiance to one man over democratic norms. They reject compromise as weakness, truth as subjective, and pluralism as threat. What began as a slogan — Make America Great Again — has evolved into an identity, often resistant to nuance and fueled by a mythology of lost greatness and institutional betrayal. To call someone a Magatist is to suggest they don’t simply vote Republican — they believe, and that belief shapes their view of country, culture, and even truth itself.
