MAGA

[Martin Hash]

“Make America Great Again” has become the most divisive slogan in history because more than half the nation doesn’t think America was ever great, specifically feminists, minorities & weirdos. From their pov, liberty, meritocracy & patriotism are evil goals, signs of The Patriarchy; and they can’t imagine when a country with those ideals could ever have been great. As an OWG who experienced MAGA, I can definitively identify when it occurred: January 20, 1981, president Ronald Reagan’s inauguration, through September 11, 2001, when America went to war with “terrorism,” barely 20 years, but that was built on a 2-century foundation of getting ready to be great; the components were all there, and the timing was crucial.

Firstly, America was still heterogeneous; the scourge of “diversity” hadn't yet collapsed its customs, culture & traditions; higher education still catered primarily to creating productive members of society: engineers, scientists, doctors; egalitarians were kept in check by lingering Cold War propaganda; and optimism about America and America’s possibilities were at an all-time high. The pendulum was at the peak of the arc, just starting to swing in the direction of anti-Americans; their insidious control was barely perceptible. However, by the turn of the Millennium, the Good Ol’ Days were over but men didn’t know it yet; now they know.

We defeated Communism, as the Soviets fell. Tiananmen happened at almost the same time. This was the critical point in history.

Instead of allowing China to fall, POTUS Bush bailed them out and bought in on slave labor for American corporations.

Over the course of 30 years the Communist system became first familiar, then profitable and finally SOP. Merit, Patriotism and concern for American workers became jokes in business, government and the media.
