I recently learned that “america first” was an old KKK slogan from the 20s…
Funny that trump decided to reuse it

The conservative mindset is not a creative one. They’ve been fearmongering about “communists” since the Bolshevik revolution. That’s over 100 years of the exact same sloganeering.

Interesting how Trump erased the collaborative “let’s” from MAGA since he did nothing to actually improve life in America

The start of the real war on the middle class and the black hole of wealth sucking to the rich.

I was listening to Rachel Maddox’s podcast Ultra and was suprised by the same words being used in the 30’s and 40’s being used exactly the same way. Older than many Redditors and maybe history class has changed since then but, we were taught everyone was all in on the war effort to defeat the Nazis. Now with a better understanding of how many US citizens were actively trying to make us lose.

It’s old news that Trump stole Reagan’s campaign slogan.

Boomers want to return to a time of their youth where the country was a bit better. Homes were easier to get. Education was cheaper. Society and community was stronger. Workers had good pay and rights. Benefits that would help them support a family
But they’re wanting to return to a time that their grandparents and parents worked very hard to give them. They grew up in that America but they didn’t create it. They were the beneficiaries of the hard work of generations before them.
Simply put Boomers don’t want to live in the America Boomers created. They want to go back to the America that was gifted to them in their youth

intresting how Reagan used the “let’s make amercica great” – giving the idea that we all work togehter for a shared vision and come together to bring this place to its next level. But now without the “lets” its just reads as an order at no matter the cost to commuity and has lost its friendly connotation.

I remember this, and I remember voting for Reagan, I believed his bullshit, I’m sorry.
The orange moron couldn’t even come up with his own slogan. Fuck him.

Remember when trickle down economics was going to actually benefit poor people somehow?

Some of us were also disgusted with Reagan the same way that we are disgusted with Trump. Although there might be a difference in degree between the two, there is no difference in kind.
