Make America Great Again?

Maybe you should ask those of the Greatest Generation. Hurry, they're dying and some are forgetting their history

The Greatest Generation fought and died to crush the ideology that many on the right try to excuse today.
 
From the mid-40's through the 50's. It picked up again in '80 and slowed again in the mid-90's.

In general, during the mid-60's through the 70's when the drug culture was all the rage.

"Turn on, tune in, drop out "


There. Answered. Wasn't even hard. Of course, they're probably not the answers you wanted, but here's how many fks I give: ______________


Interesting how you decided that once the Civil Rights Movement started picking up serious steam, America became "not great".

"Make America great again" is an idiotic slogan; America never stopped being great, so you can't make it great "again".
 
When was America great? America became "Great" after WWII.

When did America stop being great for the need to be made great again? About a year Ago.

What made America not great during that time? Failed Leadership and loss of worldwide respect.

Ah, the sweet, fetid stench of historical pig-ignnorance.
 
From the mid-40's through the 50's. It picked up again in '80 and slowed again in the mid-90's.

Ah so when discrimination against blacks, minorities and gays were all the rage.

In general, during the mid-60's through the 70's when the drug culture was all the rage.

So you are against mind altering, I’m sure you hated alcohol being legal as well right? Unless you were a hypocrite of course.


And you think people didn’t do the same with alcohol?

There. Answered. Wasn't even hard. Of course, they're probably not the answers you wanted, but here's how many fks I give: ______________

Nope they were the answers I thought they would be. Discrimination and hypocrisy best describe the era you loved. Thank you for being honest.

It's a long and winding road back from when the big government Progressives took control in the early 20th century. Kennedy was their first real roadblock, then Reagan and now, Trump.

If anyone has sided with our foes of WWII, it's those on the Left.

Kennedy was perfectly fine with “liberalism”; he also wasn’t a very effective president, which everyone tends to forget because Lee Harvey Oswald shot him.

Reagan’s confrontation with the Soviets required a large government just to efficiently organize and coordinate the military forces in Germany and elsewhere.

Trump is an imbecile. His attacks on POWs, among many others, make it clear he doesn’t have a brain cell in his head.

Oh really? All the excuses I’ve been hearing from the right about how apartheid South Africa wasn’t so bad, how the enforcers I’d Jim Crow were “persecuted” by the government, about how Neo Nazi parties across Europe are good for the continent....and you are going to invent fantasies about the “left”.

Noted.

So America was great after World War Two? For who? A Black man who fought in World War Two couldn't even drink from the same water fountain as a white man in many places in America after WWII. Couldn't send his children to the same school as a white man may not have even fought in WWII with that Black man.

Oh maybe American Indians thought America was Great Then? Then again maybe not.

Then maybe women thought it was Great to be paid less for the very same work as a man? Or to be told that a women's place is in the home fetching a man's dinner and washing his close and cleaning his home and bearing as many children his he might be able to produce, and in many cases take the verbal and physical abuse a man dished out and have no legal recourse and to be told by her priest that she must bear this abuse because divorce was a sin. Ya those were the good old days for women.

So America stopped being great about a year ago? Oh ya ! When Trump got elected.

Ya and I agree that it's due to failed leadership.

See we agree.
 
The new slogan for 2020 is, "Keep America great!!!"

Donald Trump, I would say has an 80% chance to get re-elected as president.

1. Incumbents always have the advantage.
2. 50% of the voters voted for Trump. I have seen none of those voters jump ship. In fact many of his voters probably did so reluctantly or expecting him to completely fail. They predicted the stock market would crash, etc... none of that would happen. He exceeded all expectations.
3. The Democrats lack any central message besides anti trump garbage.

Trump could win in a landslide.

Keep smoking that stuff and your brain will turn to mush. But with a rediculous post like that, it's probably too late to stop smoking. May as well enjoy yourself. Ignorance is Bliss after all.
 
I would very much like to see America become "Good" as in kind and compassionate again.

At the expense of allowing terrorists in, to blow up our buildings and landmarks?
At the expense of signing bad deals where the USA pays 90% of the tab?
At the expense of bleeding the job creators and forcing them out of the country?
At the expense of writing laws designed to make citizens so dependent on the government, that they're basically indentured servants to it?

There's a big difference between "compassionate" and "taken advantage of." Or even worse...."propped up, in exchange for your vote (comrade)."

You provide an excellent example of why I wish it, and have skill at hyperbole.
