I answered your question. Could you answer mine?

Make America Great Again

Great Again

Again

Did we finish making America great again? When did we stop being great? Why weren’t we great before?

It must bug you that politicians are saying America isn’t great any more.

Ok here is my answer. I will give it then I’m done with it. It was an affective campaign slogan. Campaign slogans are designed to get votes. It worked. But we were on a downward slide toward socialism before Trump. ISIS was still on a murder spree. Oppressive government regs were stifling economic growth. So we needed to restore some of our values. The campaign slogan helped him win which is the only function of a campaign slogan. To get people fired up. You have my opinion. We have more important issues than slogans.

Hold on a second, your answer brings up a lot of other questions. So Trump wanted to “Make America Great Again” but he didn’t believe it? Or he believed America wasn’t great before? Or that it was always great?

Also, if you don’t have a problem with Trump’s statements about “Making America Great AGAIN” as long as it is related to campaigning, then why do you have a problem with Cuomo saying it while he’s running for re-election? In the full context that he’s saying it, it’s clear he wants to get the voters out and get involved.

When did America cease to be great, and what has Dip ■■■■ Donnie done that would “restore its greatness”?

Be specific, please.

When wages started to stagnate… Cut regs and taxes.

Keyser_Soze · 2018-08-17T17:38:18.878Z

Wages went down 0.2% over the last year. Inflation is rising. That is worse than stagnation - workers are losing real buying power in the Trump economy.

Nope, according to trump we are not great.

Good thing this is not a Trump thread then isn’t it? Millions, if not billions in the outside world would come here if they could. They must love us more than we can imagine.

This is not a Trump thread. Nothing that I listed had anything to do with Trump. Nice try though.

Trump has said the same thing Cuomo said, yet only the Cuomo statement outrages you. This thread just shows how much of a partisan snowflake you really are.

All that stuff was true when Obama was President but America wasn’t great then and had to be made great.

You are over thinking this. Nobody gets credit or blame for our greatness. It took the sacrifices of many. It’s our freedom that did it. The U.S. constitution. The greatest document ever written by man. After it was written, world tyranny began to fade. None of the world would be free if it were not for us.

Oooh an unprovoked insult. How quaint. How incredibly creative and well thought. The equivalent of a white flag to libs. BTW. Nobody cares if Altair is a snowflake. So there’s that.

You mind if I don’t participate in your third grade, playground and childish game of insult exchange? You cool with that?

Auto129 · 2018-08-17T18:11:41.280Z

That can’t be true. America was not great when Obama was President.

dantes · 2018-08-17T18:16:29.349Z

Easy.

We have the finest healthcare in the world for the rich elites who deserve it
We have the hottest models that money can import from Eastern European.
Our market system is so great you can buy politicians.
Our police respond to crime almost as fast as news crews.
Our populace enjoys a healthy disbelief of all factual data that doesn’t fit our preconceived ideas.
Our tremendous land mass means we can despoil enormous amounts of the country without even noticing.
We don’t need to worry about asking permission if we want to bomb most of the countries in the world.
We keep our jails from being overcrowded by not charging white collar criminals.
We have hundreds of billions dollars available to spend on killing anyone that wishes us harm as well as the several dozen people in the immediate vicinity.
We’ve advanced the treatment and care of coronary artery disease, renal failure and diabetes by producing millions upon millions of test subjects.

Awesome! So you agree with me that America isn’t perfect. Just the best!

Jamerican · 2018-08-17T18:31:28.527Z

Fake news…believe me…

Yakshi · 2018-08-17T18:32:00.895Z

Cuomo says it, and Trumpkins squeal.

Trump says it, and Trumpkins cheer.

Sounds like the lyrics to some song that they love and hate.

Jamerican · 2018-08-17T18:44:01.871Z

This is America…

Trumpkin! I like that one! But I like Trumpkind even better. You know like Trumpkind of kicked your ass? Ha!

Yakshi · 2018-08-17T18:57:57.944Z

Yes, he did. Getting elected was the greatest achievement of his presidency, and I have no trouble admitting it.

But if I had similar success—my biggest win being in simply getting hired—I’m pretty sure I’d be fired by now.

Dems don’t think America is great. That’s what this thread establishes.

Neither does trump.

You want the US to go into a state of massive government and industrial war spending… for what reason again?

I knew I would get a liberal pansy reply like this while libs hair is on fire over “Russia-Russia-Russia”, when we have BIGGER enemies such as Iran & NK.

We mobilized a country in the grip of a deep depression to achieve all of that to defeat the enemy & win WWII. We were not war ready and it was miracle accomplishment and that’s why its important that most of our tax $$ goes to defense and YES I believe we should have the military capability to fight on multiple fronts as we have already proved we can do it and WIN… MAGA

We don’t need a military effort the size of WW2 to defeat Iran or North Korea.

Roxiebelle · 2018-08-17T21:52:46.346Z

I mean seriously this is typical liberal response giving credit to Russia for liberating Europe while their hair is on fire over Russia for supposedly interfering in our Election. Libs can’t make up their limp minds, it’s astounding and another reason why liberal socialist Democrats should NEVER be elected.
