MAGAtard=Republican basically. Some Republicans may claim to no longer be followers of Dump but their antidemocratic, "otherism" phobias, and made up scapegoating issues lacking any substance in policy remain unchanged. One can not claim being a Republican and not be in-line w/Republican/MAGA dogma.
I have to disagree...Democrats have members on the extreme side not in line with the Democratic dogma but they were voted in as a Democrat...voted in because they were the strongest to defeat their Republican opponent in their state or district.
Yet, later the Democrats (at least some of them) consider those individuals not in line with the overall goals / agendas of the party as individuals getting in the way of their democratic goals / agendas.
Republicans have the same.
Simply, just because someone is a Republican doesn't imply they follow Trump although you refer to him as Dump.

Therefore, I associate the word Magatard (an ideology only) with former President Trump...not with a race and its the reason why I posted the prior definitions of a Magatard or Obamatard.
As an example, I remember when (R) Adam Kinsinger said he was "no Maga"...he wanted Republicans to get back to being Republicans instead of what it became under Trump.
Regardless, the state of Illinois redistricted the state that greatly weakens Kinsinger...essentially forcing him to retire instead of facing a guaranteed defeat to a Democrat. Yet, he was willing to bite the bullet when he eventually decided to go after Trump...knowing it would hurt greatly his chances of being reelected.
As stated many times, Trump is a virus in the GOP or like a trojan horse that enter the GOP when it was weakened (failure of McCain/Palin). Reminder, Trump is actually a Ross Perot party (the Reform party) that failed at defeating the Republicans & Democrats that saw an opportunity when McCain/Palin lost...this is when he begin to rebrand himself.
Further, I heard a rumor that he once consider switching to be a Democrat after the defeat of the reform party. Years late, after another defeat but this time to Biden...I heard another rumor that Trump was very angry with Republicans and threaten to run against them as an Independent.

Regardless of the rumors, Trump's goal would have been to do the same...be a virus like a bioweapon to the Democrats...poisoning the Democrats.
