Looking from the outside helps be objective.

Make America Great Again implies that it was great in the past. But when in the past?

Certainly, before Reagan messed up the country. But how far back? When blacks were slaves? Certainly many MAGA voters liked it better when blacks sat at the back of the bus and were not allowed to drink from the same water fountain.

Okay, Republican Trump fans WHICH decade are you talking about?

The 1960s and 1970s when the corporate tax rate was 80-90% when a man could work - own a house a car outright while his wife stayed home and looked after the kids and Unions were at their strongest peak?

Was it during FDR's run - he was the most popular president? So popular he had three terms and they had to change the rules to make it 2 maximum - if he lived he would have won a 4th a 5th a 6th. But Republicans can't mean his era because FDR was a Democratic Socialist (same as Bernie Sanders and AOC).

Surely you don't mean the 1980s when all the jobs disappeared, and everyone needed dual income - the racist war on drugs that didn't work and created even more drugs entering the country and increases in poverty. In the 1990s - under Clinton - he balanced the books at least.

I am guessing they mean the 1950s because this is the "square" generation under Dwight D. Eisenhower who would be a democrat if he were alive today. Eisenhower was a war hero and America went from that to Bone Spurs crybaby draft-dodging coward. Perhaps Americans didn't know that Trumpy just pays doctors off to pretend he had bone spurs - seems not to affect his golf game lugging his 320lb fat ass around the golf course?

I love this nonsense about "you don't live here so you don't know" BS.

I'd love to see the MAGA nuts (or Trump) take a US Citizen test. Bwahahahahaha.
