With Bush and Obama we had the two dumbest back-to-back Presidents in American history. Now that our 16 year ordeal is over, we are back to Making America Great Again!You'll be better informed the day you stop reading Wikipedia. That site is a bastion for left wing editing and no one with credibility uses it. Quote a site that cannot be edited by whoever wants to edit it for political reasons.Again, it depends on none of that. It is simply a belief that America can be more, and that does not threaten our country or our form of government; btw, we are NOT a democracy.Clearly, you are confused. MAGA poses zero threat to democracy.Maybe so.
But I'm not confused about MAGA or the threat it poses to democracy:
Wealth and Politics in the United States, Wealth, Money-Culture, Ethics, and Corruption excerpted from the book Wealth and Democracy a political history of the American rich by Kevin Phillips
"Wealth and politics have a long history of intense interaction in the United States.
"From the 1780s on, foreign visitors remarked about Americans being money-fixated.
"John Stuart Mill, the English political economist, suggested in 1860 that in America, 'the life of the whole of one sex is devoted to dollar-hunting, and the other to breeding dollar hunters.'
"A generation earlier, Alexis de Tocqueville had observed that, 'Whenever the reverence which belonged to what is old has vanished, birth, condition, and profession no longer distinguish men, or scarcely distinguish them, hardly anything but money remains.... Among aristocratic nations, money reaches only to a few points on the vast circle of man's desires; in democracies, it seems to lead all.'"
Trump is the living embodiment of a dollar-hunter.
His scale of corruption and narcissism is unmatched among former presidents.
Anyone who apologizes for his ignorance and hate isn't qualified to judge others.That depends when Trump and his supporters believe America was "great."Clearly, you are confused. MAGA poses zero threat to democracy.
Wealth and Politics in the United States, Wealth, Money-Culture, Ethics, and Corruption excerpted from the book Wealth and Democracy a political history of the American rich by Kevin Phillips
"In 1890 the Populist firebrand Mary Ellen Lease, she who had urged Kansans to 'raise less corn and more hell,' told her audiences that 'Wall Street owns the country. It is no longer a government of the people, by the people and for the people, but a government of Wall Street, by Wall Street and for Wall Street.'
"Two years later Populist presidential nominee James B. Weaver deplored how 'Wall Street has become the Western extension of Threadneedle and Lombard streets,' the London location of the Bank of England.
"Eastern finance had grown into what would become an enduring symbol."
Was American"great" in the 1890s?
If so, for whom was it "great?""Make America Great Again" implies a former time when America was Great, right?Again, it depends on none of that. It is simply a belief that America can be more, and that does not threaten our country or our form of government; btw, we are NOT a democracy.
When was THAT?
btw:
United States - Wikipedia
"The United States is the world's oldest surviving federation. It is a federal republic and a representative democracy."
America was great great before and can be again. However, it has nothing to do with the people and everything to do with the ideologies. The right has gotten more spineless, the left have become the absolute scum of the earth. Making America Great again is a discussion of a time when the left was willing to compromise and actually put AMERICA ahead of its own power ambitions.
So, yeah there was a time when America was great. The past 14 or so years have seen a marked decline in her greatness.
