I always wondered when they say Make America Great Again......when do they mean?  What era do they want to go back to?

 

 

Just getting on the board for the day, but it's quite obvious that Make America Great Again means "over the last several decades due mostly to massive government creeping overreach and outsourcing of our manufacturing, America's position in the world has slipped and at a fragile position as the world's super power, and we should implement mostly economic policies that enhance American exceptionalism and improve the lives of the average American."

 

It was never explained like that because Trump can't get through a sentence without a strange tangent that doesn't allow him to finish a thought, and the left likes to project their feelings about black and brown people onto people they disagree with.

Maybe it's just the fact that you used quotation marks that has me laughing, but in no way is your definition of that "quite obvious" :lol:

So why do you suppose Republican policies continue to protect the business class that outsources to other countries, hides its money in off-shore accounts, and happily profits off the growing tax and wage burdens placed on the average American? 

 

Whenever the U.S. practiced American exceptionalism better than it does today, it did so with higher taxes on the wealthy. Is that something we should go back to? 

 

The corporate interests that profit from global trade and lobby for a highly nuanced relationship with China: do you think they're more likely to vote  Democrat or Republican? 

 

Is there any overlap between American Greatness and the  massive social programs like the Marshall Plan, the G.I. Bill, Social Security or Medicare that stabilized the economy and created an unprecedented middle class of employees and customers that you now want to champion as the Average American?

This guy is going to win. But, you know,  Republicans are a political party our national media needs to regard with equal dignity and respect. Yup, there super-duper serious.

I'm sure a fine Libertarian like yourself is firmly against government subsidies to business. The invisible hand of the free market and all that. 

 

Totally worked in 2008!

According to the extreme straw man you often create in order to distract from your own flailing argument. 

 

Listen, there's tons of room for disagreement on this issue, but one thing is pretty clear:  if men got pregnant, they would never tolerate government control of their bodies. 

 

As it stands, there's virtually no consequence for the man behind every pregnancy and his right to bolt the inconvenience. 

 

 

If men got pregnant the world would have no people.

The GOP wants to force your kids to be born but not be required to educate them. 

 

Maybe consider reading the article you post.   The comment was about Illegal aliens being educated in Texas and Texas bearing that cost vs the country those children have citizenship in.  
 

Abbott raised the possibility of challenging the ruling on education during a discussion about border security, after Pagliarulo asked whether the state could take steps to reduce the "burden" of educating the children of undocumented migrants living in Texas.
