    Micheal Moore did a video about this. He asked MAGoos of different ages when exactly did America’s decline start. People born in the 1930’s claimed America lost its way in the 1950’s. People born in the 1940’s thought it was in the 1960’s. People born in the 1960’s thought it was the 1980’s.

    Everyone of them thought that everything was fine until they reached adulthood…

    MAGA means the America that inspired the Nazis…

    It always has and it’s always been super obvious as long as you know more history than taught in highschool.

    What Jackson is talking about, isn’t as bad as MAGA wants it to be.

    They want the genocide of natives, enslavement of Africans, and the killing of any white person with the balls to stand up against them. They want 1930s/40s and eralier America, not 1960s during the civil rights fights.

    Well, rather obviously the explicit goal is to make America great again for fabulously wealthy white men.

    Didn’t tump say that he was referring to the early 1900s when asked what he was referring to? Ya know the time period known as the gilded age that was rife with robber barons and no labor laws. The period which took wealth inequality to the max resulting in the great depression…

    Maga has no clue what actually made America great…

      The crazy thing is that back then was also the time of peak immigration at Ellis Island etc. Even if you try to give MAGAs the benefit of the doubt that they aren’t trying to be evil, their ideology is just flat-out incoherent!

      I saw entrepreneur, alpha male bro pages (probably AI-made) on Instagram stating that childhood is a modern concept and deriding the fact that kids don’t work anymore and all this “discovering yourself first” is utter bull. This is literally what the right has been advocating by slowly eroding workers and children’s rights! They seriously believe that “the children yearn for mines”.

      Fucking psychopaths!

    The people who want to “Make America Great Again” want to oppress minorities. If they could turn black people into slaves, they’d do it.
