Y'know guys, the quickest way to "make America great again" would be to load all the oligarchs like Donald Trump on a cargo ship with a quarter-tank of gas, aim it at the open sea, start the engine, and weld the door to the bridge shut.

The Donald........ "Megan honey, when you get done bleeding from your whatever, would you let my friend Jebrodiah Bush know that his idiot family pretty well screwed the pooch as far as the greatness of America is concerned. Oh and everyone at home can buy an autographed photo of me shaving Vince McMahon's head for the low low price of $9.99"

(7,675 posts)right wingers are in power. Full of images of American Exceptionalism and the primitive religious impulse towards rebirth and renewal. At least the Trump version is an admission that America is not Great any more.
Back in at the beginning of the depression, which was the hangover left over from the party days of the Golden Era, Hoover pretended to be a progressive so that the swells could hang on to power. The new slogan was A Chicken in Every Pot because people who are hungry don't buy into grand illusions. Meanwhile among his rich friends it was A Pheasant Under Glass.
Imperial arrogance is not new so America isn't unique in this regard. The British in the nineteenth century were just as bad if not worse.
