Biden’s background was as "red, white, and blue" as your avatar.

It's like none of you potato cakes actually watched the speech, and are just going off of cropped images you saw on Q forums. Color me shocked.

I watched the entire thing. Twice. Perhaps you should watch it

Excuse me, but I have seen so many similar sentiments...

MAGA stands for

Make
America
Great
Again

What is the problem with someone wanting their country to become great?

What is wrong with someone saying their country once was great?

How can anyone interpret those two questions to indicate that someone is "anti-democracy"?

Answer those questions and maybe we can have a conversation.

You believe propaganda.

This is fiction, fantasy.

Unless you know...proof exists.

Again, that is only in your mind. I know of no one, literally no one, despite living in rural Alabama, who wants to kill people to Make America Great Again.

Like the others, you have taken the word "great" and applied your own fears to it, without even looking at the other possible meanings. Killing people is not my idea of "great"!

I do not know where this came from. Think about it... do you consider being trans as great? If so, you could say "Make America Great" means "Make America Accept Trans People."

Your answer, though, was phrased much less confrontational than the others i have responded to, so let me continue this conversation in the fervent hope of understanding... WHY do you think Donald Trump want to kill trans people?

Making America Great is awesome, but the term AGAIN implies that the older days of Donald Trump were better or the 50s & 60s of all the Baby Boomers were better or greater than now.
Black & Natives & Gays were killed often in the 50s-70s .
I ask you this then , when was American great in your opinion? Remember that Native Americans had no rights until the 50s & Blacks had no rights until mid 60s so if you are a Baby Boomer like Trump ? Then when & what years were GREAT to you ?
The term AGAIN in MAGA is disgusting & racist in my opinion.

MAGA= The old days of the Baby Boomers who saw no rights for natives , blacks or gays .
The word AGAIN in MAGA is my proof .
Go DeSantis & down with Trump the vaccine Tsar & down with Biden & his pedophile sniffer

You are engaging in a critical thinking error known as "maximizing", that is in this case, lumping all the worst in with all the best. MAGA is about the best of our country, not the bad things of the past.

No one is advocating a return to treating blacks and gays like crap. Nowhere will you find evidence that Trump wants this.

Use a little common sense. It will serve you well.

You, a stranger are making the claim that you know what I am thinking when I say Making America Great Again.

Do you have a show in Vegas?

So according to you ... America was great, but only because of racists and racism? Interesting perspective you have. Hmm ...

That is your opinion, but I suggest that you be civil in all discourse.

a reply to: MensTeam

No. The comment has everything to do with two longtime posters. But you're too new to know that, and if you don't reign it in a bit, you won't figure it out.

a reply to: MensTeam

Where does declaration of how you dress and where you place your genitals have in civil discourse?

Also, that comment wasn't directed at you.

*laughs at new member*

America was great when we enacted civil rights.

America was great when we put a man on the moon.

America was great when we defeated Nazi Germany and Japan.

America was great when Lewis & Clark took a stroll.

America was great when it wrote the US Constitution.

America was great when it ended slavery.

America was great when it computers.

America was great when it developed vaccines.

America was great many times.

Right now? America is not great.

We have high unemployment
High inflation
No justice system.
Open borders.
A failed foreign policy.
We'll see higher taxes.
Bigger government.

You amuse me a little, but you're like a guitar with just one string right now. It gets boring.

But welcome to ATS anyway.
