The Daily Show -- When Was America Great?

[betsuni]

[merrily]

1. Before Trump declared for the Presidency.

(Yes. I know. I'm supposed to say it was never great. But I was happier before I had a nightmare that Trump was the Republican nominee for most powerful person in the world.)

2. I couldn't agree more!

[mdbl]

3. I was happier before Republicans became a choice for half of the voters

Still wonder why their brains are still mush.

13. Serious brainwashing. The likes of which you'd never believe.

In my family I know.

14. Before evangelicals started trying to turn it into a Victorian religious state condemning any who

disagreed.

5. America was great when Trump was a Democrat (during Clinton Presidency).

Obama has done a lot to make America great again.

It is taking more than 8 years to clean up the 8 year Bush mess and we need the Senate, state Legislatures, the House (if we can get it), and the SCoTUS. State legislatures to clean up gerrymandering and lock in independent districting commissions to kill that monster for every.

6. Great for who?

I'm sure some people long for a time when things were great for them while others were blocked out and told to learn our place and not be too uppity.

7. THAT look, though!

9. America was great before humans existed.

Wait! Trump's slogan and policies make sense now. No more humans, or perhaps even life, and America will be great again. Total extinction is a dandy.

10. I like the one where the guy being interviewed makes the point against his own arguement

without realizing he did it. Paraphrasing, "In every time period you are going to have some bad things."

11. It's been great since 1865, when we defeated an insurgency backed by nearly all European despots.

Led by Queen Opium herself, Victoria. Very few nations can say that - even today.

Now, when were we at our greatest? In 2000, before Dubya frittered away our surplus, decimated our military in two wars-for-profit, and pushed our country into a deep recession we're still climbing out of even now.

A Trump presidency, of course, would be like a second Shrub regime (maybe even worse). This is why we need a united Democratic Party now more than ever.

12. 1491 was the last year America was great

Been going down hill since 1492. My plan to make it great again is to move all non-native Americans to a big reservation and give the country back to it's rightful heirs.
