Huh? You object to Make America Great Again?
Did you tell that to Slick Willy when he used the exact same slogan while stumping on the campaign trail back in 1991 and 1992?
Or when he used it yet again in campaign ads for his wife hildebeest when she ran against Obama in 2008?
Who could possibly object to such a slogan? Do you want America to be LESS than great? Mediocre? A second-rate power? Gee, that doesn't sound like a very patriotic sentiment!

Ok, I won't deny that. So you want to make America how it was great at one point in the past?
When? When was America greater than it was today? 2000s where the military industrial complex was fully erect? 90s when the CIA's war on drugs was going after minorities? 80s when big oil decided to fuck the planet for short term gains? 70s when we were at war but not really at war? 60s when nuclear armageddon was a button press away? Earlier?
We shouldn't be looking to make America into anything that it was in the past. The only people who actually think that are those who still live in the past. MAGA what? Maga so that there is segregation again? Slavery? Sure I don't doubt that people living in the 1830s would agree that America was a great as it gets... but that was then, and now we know that is just wrong on so many levels.
We should look to make America great-er. Greater than it is currently is, for everyone. Not just the wealthy, old men who are pulling the puppet strings.
