There's a lot of discussion about how to refer to trump voters, the cult issue, the disinformation, the ignorance, voting against their interests, useful idiots, his being a con artist, they're often called 'MAGA', more recently FAFO, and so on.

MAGAs serves well, as it is a moniker many of them happily adopt.

MAGA is much worse. Their happily adopting it is irrelevant. It's a ripped off label from Reagan that is a propaganda lie, every time it's used it repeats the lie. trump chump is accurate and each use reminds that they have fallen for the con jobs. You don't want them smiling as trump opponents say "MAGA", you want them squirming as they say "trump chump".

Why call groups of people derogatory names in the first place?
 
why dignify them with a standard term?

I don't think it does something wrong; they need to be referred to as a group for discussing issues, and I think this term helps as a standard one, each time reminding that they are people who fell for lies.

It's not as such 'something wrong' to do. But H Clinton's unfortunate 'basket of deplorables' phrase shows the difficulties of getting the term you want to stick in the ways you want it to stick.
 
I call them regressives when I'm being courteous.

This made me think of CC. We miss you, man.
 
Suggestion for standard term for trump voters

I have a suggestion for a term to describe Trump voters, which is accurate, and doesn't reveal a shred of bigotry or sophistry:

Trump voters

:)

Wow! I'm so stunned by your opinion. Your factual base for these is a bit iffy, but then democrats don't like facts, they much prefer their own created fiction. Trump Russian Collusion hoax.

Yes, but this is different than deplorables, and I don't think has the same downsides. I think it's a useful name for the reasons above. Calling them MAGA is not as good and even counterproductive, they already have a cult-like situation, a name they see as positive for the cult doesn't help.
 
Trumpettes suits them well. They trumpet his propoganda and they are his pets.

Hmm - 'Trumpista'? As per the 'Perotista' of this forum. And since -ista is a Spanish language formulation (Madridista—supporter of Real Madrid, Madrileño-someone from Madrid) it also has an f u drollness to it.

Can I offer a runner-up for that? I like the Spanish angle, but it misses the very important poke every use of the people having fallen for lies, and the rhyming.

Nice, another runner-up, but I'd spell it trumpets to make the 'pets' clear'. But I do think it still lacks the 'punch'. It's a bit insulting but basically for supporting the person they support, which doesn't have much effect.

What a childish OP.

Trump would be proud
 
I guess Trumptard is a bit too much playing the game at their low level.
 
And what shall we call all those Democratic voters who believed the lies of Dems and the MSM that Joe Biden was an honest, decent public servant who was physically and mentally capable to serve as president and then believed the lie that Kamala Harris was a political rockstar who was on her to the presidency?
How about “Demmings”?

And what shall we call all those Democratic voters

I know trump's chumps love to try to find symmetry with Democrats for any flaws with Republicans, but it usually doesn't exist. You want to whatabout so badly. But this is a one-sided issue, like so many are.

Who cares? There are a few names could apply and just MAGAs will do as well, we don't need a standardized name.

I'll call them what I want. 😀
