50's and before - even white women didn't have full rights
60's - minorities didn't have full rights
70's - women and minorities still fighting for full rights and inclusion
80's? 90's? (Those were not really "great" decades lol)
I'm really curious, what does it mean to "make America great again"
"Again" is the real word I have issue with in this phrase, without it the phrase would be perfectly fine in my eyes.
So trump supporters when was america great and who was it great for?
It looks like your confusing 'great' with 'perfection'. Those decades you mention certainly weren't perfect - far from it - but they were great. America moved to progress forward, and for the most part it did during those decades. (Just look how far the American medical industry improved from the 1950s - 2010s!).
That all came to a screeching halt on January 20, 2017. America stopped being great.

No confusion, I'm equating a country's "greatness" with being a great place to live for the majority of its population. Which the US has never been in its entire history.
No, not arguing. Just want to give an honest answer, and I do think if you're going by 'great' and not 'perfect', then yes - despite its drawbacks, those decades show how great it was.
Every single person who walked on the Moon was a white male, and virtually every engineer and scientist involved in the effort was a white male. These facts must really get under your skin.
Actually I'm not so sure anyone has walked on the moon. I never used to be a conspiracy theorist, but I've seen a ton of evidence point to the contrary.
Any surprise Joffreylemming has spent every response telling us how he didn’t read any of the responses he asked for. You really don’t need to confirm your ignorance for us. We already know how uninformed and close minded you are.
Just another demokkkrat lemming waiting for an opinion to be spoon fed to them by the hate filled demokkkrat media. Notice he couldn’t rebutt single thing that was mentioned. Just the same old close minded demokkkrat hate. Republicans are (insert flavor of the week demokkkrat label).
Well if you put what they really wanted, MAWA, they’d get confused and run down to a chain of East Coast gas/convenience stores because reading is not their strong suit
America is and always has been great. Otherwise why do so many people want to live here. I know I don't want to live anywhere else. It's just the people in charge, like politicians who were responsible for all of the inequities of the past. BTW I am NOT a Trump supporter!
It's fine if you think your country is great. That's a good thing, most people in developed nations think their country is great. My country is fucking super amazing great!
My issue is the phrase makes it seem like america was great at a certain point and now it's not anymore. What's that all about? (Not asking you, you're not a trump supporter as stated. Just clarifying a little)
If you were Wall Street, but not if you were an occupier. Wealth inequality went parabolic with Quantitative Easing. Maybe you will come back as a Lybian Muslim in the next life and Obama can drop a bomb on you.
Women and minorities are reallly stupid if they would trade a house and a family for a stupid vote in an election between crooks that doesn't even count. I suspect you have too much white male prividge to see this but most people have always been in bad shape financially and now even socially and voting has only made this worse. I don't understand liberals and their bad priorities like universal health care for psychiatrists and Club Med drug rehab when there are so many people who struggle to put food on the table. Rent is astronomical and yet cities are in disrepair.
Through to the early 1900's (before the progressives and their central bank, income tax, and world wars) we didn't even have inflation. We had long steady periods of deflation which is what we are supposed to see with technological innovation. Now economists spend all their time coming up with tricks to hide inflation, like factoring computers in the CPI but not utilities. Nobody can even own a car without debt slavery.
