When was America Great

[Concerned American]

I'd like an answer to this, at what time in history was America "great" in the sense the MAGATS want to return to that? Is there an approx date? is there a specific previous administration that fits the description?

Before you got here. It's what attracted you to migrate here. Don't you remember? Or did you just come to disparage and detract from a good thing?

Make America Great Again was Trump's slogan during his first election campaign which referred to the previous Democrat presidencies which were not so great.

Actually it was before Trump.
Quiz question ???

 

[Stryder50]

Some would suggest from about 1775 to February 1972.

Richard Nixon's Opening to China and Closing the Gold Window​

Things started to unravel and go down hill about then.
1969 could be the other end date, that's when the radical Left commies in USA started to shred our nation.

US ranks 34th in terms of life expectancy and 10th in overall healthcare.

The US ranks 36th in terms of overall education rankings

The US ranks 20 in the HDI (Human Development Index)

Does anyone here see these rankings improving under MAGA policies? or will we continue to trail the rest of the developed world?

 

[Stryder50]

For the wealthy yes, I agree.

Yet we have, and have had for some time, the largest illegal immigration problem of any country on the planet.
People flee nearly most every where else, and go to extreme measures to get here.

I do not see how asking when was America great, is such a problem for you, I really don't.

 

[Stryder50]

there were racial problems during that time but overall better than now

There have been and continue to be racial and ethnic problems around the world.
In many nations still far worse than ever in USA during past century plus.

Who's really surprised by this level of attempted migration though?

Sure but saying "we're not the worst for X" isn't really "great at X" is it?

 

[EvilCat Breath]

1940ish to 1960

Until the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965.

It was putting the post replied to in further context.
USA has led the world in inventions, industrial innovations, productivity, foreign aid (Marshall Plan), Arsenal of Democracy, Constitutional Representative Government, technology, culture, entertainment, inspiration, "Life, Liberty, Prosperity", etc. etc. etc.

Coca cola, Ford or Chevy, Levi blue jeans, Nike shoes, IBM, Microsoft, Apollo Moon Landing, Defending Europe during post WWII Cold War, Ending two world wars started by Europe, then rebuilding the destruction from same; Etc. etc. etc.

Why do you think that is so.

Need to see more on the metrics and methods, bias of these rankings.

Can't play any more, overdue to be somewhere else.
There are other specifics I've provided you can chew on, Komrade.

So no answer from you, how odd that a simple question is eluding the very people who want great "again" but have no idea when that was.

So no answer from you, funny how that works

When we saved your whole fucking continent. ...

America to the Americans? Monroe doctrine? 1823? ... And what is better now in South America after 200 years hegemony of the USA?

Oh sorry ... I misunderstood the expression "your whole fucking continent". You think the USA had been great when you saved Europe from us Germans 2 times in the first half of the 20ies century. Same likes to do Donald Trump together with Vladimir Putin and others now again? Nice to know.

 

[Mr. Friscus]

That's your call, my question is in the thread title and seems entirely reasonable.

Which statement of mine gave you that impression?

And you don't appear to have an answer as to when was America great as alluded to by MAGA.

1. When someone referred to us being great in WW2, you characterized it as thinking we should be pro-war in general. You did. You’re just trying to play gotcha.. it’s lame and lacks depth

2. You’re already in completely bad faith by calling people “MAGATS”… if you want to flame people, start a flame thread. If you actually want to know something from non-emotional flamers… drop the childish BS and have a calm discussion

this question again??

we were great when we werent 36 trillion in debt

when we werent dependent on a foreign country for prescription medicines

when we werent dependent on foreign countries for manufacturing

when we didnt have millions of illegals crossing the border and living off of tax payer money while we had so many homeless and jobless americans,,

when politicians actually listened to the people instead of pushing an agenda hated around the world


why do leftist ask such stupid questions??

 

[IM2]

No, for everyone…Is this where you whine about your lack of ability, or success?

America has not been great for everyone at any time.

 

[eagle7-31]

When we saved your whole fucking continent.

You're welcome.

Saved at least once, WWII, depending on one's point of view you and can add WWI.

 

[IM2]

That depends on what you mean by "equal economic opportunity", it's an incredibly vague, fluid term, so much so as to be meaningless, I mean how do you measure that metric?

Its a vague term because it doesn't happen here.
