The term "MAGA delusion" is often used in political discourse to describe what critics perceive as irrational or unfounded beliefs held by supporters of the "Mak
e America Great Again" ( movement, particularly those associated with former President Don
ald Trump. While the term is not a formal psychological or medical diagnosis, it is frequently employed to highlight perceived distortions of reality, such as the rejection of factual evidence, embrace of conspiracy theories, or unwavering loyalty to Trump despite contradictory information.
Critics argue that "MAGA delusion" manifests in several ways, including the persistent belief that the 202
0 presidential election was stolen, despite extensive evidence and legal rulings affirming its legitimacy. This belief is often tied to broader narratives, such as claims of widespread vot
er fraud or the vilification of institutions like the media, judiciary, and electoral systems, which are seen as part of a "dee
p state" conspiracy. Additionally, some point to the movement's susceptibility to misinformation, including conspiracy theories like QAn
on or the "gre
at replacement" theory, as evidence of a disconnect from reality.
