Flaccid

I have to say it. The slogan, the catchphrase.

Make America Great Again.

Where does one begin, when it comes to unpacking this white bread, generic, contrived excuse for a rallying cry?

First of all, who gets to define greatness? What makes anything great?

Second of all, if making America great again involves going back in time, deporting people and taking away rights because the Bible says so, running the country like a private business, and abusing power– then what’s so great about that?

Make America Great Again? Might as well be, “Hooray for America! Aren’t We Something? Just Don’t Look Too Close.”
