When was it, again, that the United States stopped being "Great"?

[Kilroy2]

When a Leader is willing to step up and separate Right from Wrong, no matter how unpopular and politically incorrect those views may be; then America is Great.

who determines what is right or wrong?

it is to subjective. Still Trump cannot even come close to knowing what is right or wrong. he just wants to win

When Trump let his family members like Ivana become a consultant in government affairs with no prior experience whatsoever

So tell me how that is right and how did Ivana make America great.

 

[Mac1958]

The word "great" lends itself to about a zillion definitions.

Yes it does when he just says make America great. It could mean make South America great or Latin America
Used properly would be United States of America.


The word is a play on the Italian explorer was named in honor of Amerigo Vespucci for his discovery of the mainland of the New World.

is America a slang word ?

 

[HikerGuy83]

The myth of a paradise lost is a perennial allure.

Whose talking about paradise.

I think he's talking about a sewer and how we've become one.

BTW: You asked the question. You always dump on those who make an attempt to answer ?

 

[HikerGuy83]

The simple answer is that it's NEVER stopped being great. It's still the greatest country in the world.

Don't agree.

But this is more Schmidlap on the floor (bad doggy !!!).

She had years of experience consulting her father and working with him.

... although she had not performed in wrestling shows to qualify her to run the Education Department, nor been a media entertainer on Fox to make her the ideal Secretary of Defense..

I keep asking the same question.

I also ask for specficis around when we'll know when America is great again.

MAGA is a sales pitch.

One wonders why a cult of malcontents would sport peaked, red dunce caps with such a temporally-indeterminate slogan.

The ideologues' assaults upon education, science, medicine, free trade, diplomacy, etc. appear calculated to establish a baseline.

Just like "Build Back Better".

As to your "baseline"....whatever.

Going down...

I lost my "Build Back Better" cult cap.

Still no less a sales pitch than MAGA.

Hate to break it to you.

Actually, it was not nearly as nebulous, nor nearly as catching.

The Build Back Better Act was a significant piece of legislation introduced in the 117th Congress aimed at fulfilling aspects of President Joe Biden's agenda. It proposed a $3.5 trillion reconciliation package that included provisions related to climate change, healthcare, and social policy. The Act aimed to lower costs for working families, improve healthcare coverage, and ensure that the wealthiest individuals and corporations pay their fair share. Although the Act faced various challenges in Congress, it represented a major effort to address pressing social and economic issues in the United States. ​

Yes, MAGA by itself didn't propose to spend 3.5 trillion we don't have doing stuff we don't need.

It's no wonder it wasn't as popular.

Both were rallying points.

It just seems our sales pitch was better.

Of course, when you put up a DEI candidate who never won a single primary vote to run against someone who was very popular with a significant part of the population, give her a service animal for a running mate, don't talk to the press, and copy his policies....

Well, you get what you got.....defeated.

 

[Hellbilly]

YOur inability to defend the stupid shit you say, is noted.


I ask again, give me a time during American history, when it was better to be a black person somewhere else. I can think of like ONE niche time/place. Can you?

It was never a good time to be black in this country.

Of course, whether you don't subscribe to either, one slogan stood for actual, detailed legislation, whilst the cult can't even articulate a mission statement for the mad hatters who embrace the other.

What’s in the Build Back Better Bill the House Just Passed?​

Reagan was among those who had previously campaigned with the 'Make America Great Again' slogan but, as Trump noted, "Reagan didn't trademark it!" and Trump's lawyers registered as a 'service mark' in July, 2015. More head lids than Bartholomew Cubbins could dream of followed.

Trump had failed to trademark the phrase though, and, on August 5, 2015, radio personality Bobby Bones took note of this and successfully filed a trademark for the phrase's use in commerce. Two days later Bones tweeted at Trump, offering the use of his slogan back in exchange for a $100,000 donation to the St. Jude Children's Hospital. On October 29, Bones followed up the tweet with an image of a check from the Trump Organization. The amount on the check was undisclosed and Bones said that Trump could "have [his] slogan back".

Detailed legislation ????? It was 3.5 TRILLION dollars. How about unsustained massive spending that was DETAILED in general terms.

Yes, MAGA is a sales pitch.

Built Back Better is the same. It was a term that sold a bunch of government spending (which is going to further exacerbate the deficit) on things that nobody wanted (except the cronies that were going to get fat off of it...the healthcare piece was just funding something that people had already said they didn't want to fund).

If you refuse to recognize the difference between a cheap cap slogan and a slogan that represents actual. detailed legislation that has been scrutinized by the legislature, I'm afraid that I can't help you.
