Make America Great for whom?

[angrychair]

My personal favorite, "Make America great again". When were we great, specifically? Great for whom, specifically?
What was the specific domestic policy and when did it make America great?
What was the specific foreign policy and when did it make America great?
What was the specific fiscal policy and when did it make America great?
Those policies: domestic, foreign and fiscal policies, that may have made America "great" only work in the world in which they came crafted to work in. Our country and our world, is in a constant state of change. You promise a world that no longer exist. "Make America great again" is a slogan crafted to appeal to very specific demographics, a racist dog whistle, that envisions a world that only existed on TV or in their head.
Racism, bigotry and xenophobic tweets from a gaudy golden chair in a tower of privilege is not how to shape American policy. Fear and blame are campaign tactics, not a model for governance.
America is great when our domestic, foreign and fiscal policies look to the future, not dwell on the past. Policies that will bring us together, not drive us apart. A future full of optimism and opportunities is a future we can believe in. A future you and your supporters will never understand.

1. Not me or thee.

We'll be on the wrong end of that law and order pledge of his.

2. Why, for Donald Trump, of course.

That's what his entire campaign is all about, after all.

3. Heard someprofessor-type on NPR discussing the history of immigration

He said that in 1970, we had the all-time lowest percentage of foreign-born US residents, & that segregation was still largely in effect. That coincides with the era most Trump voters are nostalgic for - their adolescence.

I think this was the "On the Media" show.

4. Whom. Make America Great for whom?

But, certainly, not great for you or I.

5. Lol...thanks

Honestly, I wrote it in notepad on my phone and copied it over and somehow I didn't notice it wasn't right.
