Outrage on left and right

The Herald reports:

Several supporters have expressed their outrage after party called New Zealand “Aotearoa” in a Day slogan.

Seymour released a slogan adapted from Donald Trump's MAGA campaign, calling for Kiwis to “Make Aotearoa Great Again” ahead of Waitangi Day.

The 36-year-old MP told RNZ's Morning Report that the MAGA message was probably the most successful campaign slogan of the past few years.

Because America and Aotearoa both begin with A “we thought we'd have a bit of fun”, Seymour said.

Quite a genius move.

The MAGA acronym is like a red rag to a bull for those on the left. Guaranteed they'd explode. And using Aotearoa is similar for some on the right. The result is you get huge free publicity for your event.
