    What Exactly Is Make America Great Again?

    America has always been great regardless of who is the POTUS. We enjoy many freedoms and benefits that lots of other countries do not.

    1. What needs to occur to make America great again?
    2. If America is not currently great, what is it? Mediocre? Shitty?

    America cannot pivot on a dime, so whoever is in office will simply alter legislation a few degrees to the left of right, but not change the core mechanics and workings of government. Hopefully we get some intelligent replies before things descend into Libs or the GOP sucks. Let’s skip past which party sucks and focus on the questions I posed.

    Make America great again is history. That happened November 2016. We're on to keep America great now. That's happening every day. Look around.

    It means America will no longer be a punching bag for China, Mexico,North Korea,ect. President Trump has quit with the defensive bullshit and started saying it the way it is.

    Both of your answers are generic and does not elaborate on what he has fixed. What exactly has Trump fixed that was broken? List what was broken and his contribution to fixing it.

    Austin Ellen,

    The US has never been a punching bag for any of the countries you mentioned. All democratic and GOP presidents before trump took a more diplomatic approach. Specific to China, trump just spared Chinese phone maker ZTE from collapse. China is a communist country that trump just supported. Suddenly ivanka gets approval for additional China trademarks. Does this show that trump uses the US for his own personal gain and does not care about Dems or GOP? Everyone is overlooking the severe case of nepotism with the trump family. What if Clinton or Reagan kept a communist country phone company afloat, what would your response be? How exactly has trump made america great again. All of his supporters struggle to provide details beyond he beat Hilary.

    If you believe this country has been the punching bag of these and “etc.” countries, then you need to see the world.

    Why bother? Your mind is already made up. No answer we could give would change that. In a way you're like Kim Jong Un. You've already shown us your hand.

    GFE,

    My mind is not made up. I am simply asking for people to state in detail why they think trump made america great again. I am not looking to say what I believe is better or who I support is better. I think our country is hands down the best, so when someone says make it great again, it is logical to ask what is needed to make it great again? I am not looking to have another Dems vs GOP troll session. Just a neutral state your case convo.

    I'm not a MAGAtarian, but here goes...

    For large companies it means less taxes and less regulation. Mission accomplished. We'll see how the consequences play out.
    For small companies, same thing. Not sure how much they were helped with the tax break, but they probably got less regulation. Consequences as above.
    In the geopolitical arena, it could mean a return to the time after WWII and before the Korean Conflict, but before globalization became a thing is a safe bet.
    For some it means more jobs. A closer look at how unemployment is calculated might paint a different picture, but for now, continuation of a trend.
    For some it means higher paying jobs. Saw there was a 2% increase recently. Haven't looked to see if this is a continuation of a trend.
    For some it means better/cheaper healthcare. Hasn't happened yet.
    For some it means tougher immigration policies. No new laws, but enforcement and procedures are tougher.
    For some it means a "return" to "fair" judges. For evangelicals, this might work as expected. For non-evangelicals, FOSTA-SESTA is just the beginning.
    I could break this last one into more, but in a nutshell, for some, it means putting brown people "back in their place."

    Some of the above overlap, and they don't apply to all MAGAtarians (especially the last one), but it is what it is.

    As a "Brown person" one can look to Charlotesville, and all these white power movements that Trump never called out his disgust in as a perversion of his MAGA movement.

    I didn't vote for or against Trump in 2016 instead abstaining from voting in the general election. If Bernie Sanders got the nomination to go against Trump, I will most certainly for him since he is one of very few candidates that is very strong on criminal justice reform, drug reform, believes gun manufacturers should Not be held responsible for the act of looneys and will likely get a cabinet worth a damn instead of these mis-matched people i.e. Rick Perry, Ben Carson, etc.

    MAGA is different things to different people. To white supremacists, there is no perversion of MAGA. To other MAGAtarians, there is no perversion. They can just say, "That's not me."
