Does “make America great again” not imply a desire to return to the past?

There are many national parks on historic grounds. Why are you okay with the removal of history?

I assume it works similarly to how some of the South Carolina’s state parks work. Here, a few rice plantations were converted into parks and reserves because the loch systems in the fields are great for controlling flooding. As such, most of these parks have at the bare minimum a plague memorializing the slaves who lived there.

Why are you just declaring slavery as the period in time in which “MAGA” refers to? You say this shit all the time and never justify yourself with reasoning so if you wholeheartedly believe it, explain what Trump has done this term and his last term that DIRECTLY implies he has any desire to bring back slavery. This post of yours doesn’t

Also Trump supports forced prison labor which is slavery. Slavery never really ended

Does the “again” refer to the 2000s, when we were constantly at war, or the 1990s and 80s, when we were constantly at war, or the 70s and 60s, when not every American had equal rights, or the 50s and 40s, when not every American had equal rights and when we were constantly at war or the 30s and 20s when not every American had equal rights and we were in a depression, or the 1890s and 10s, when only cis white men had rights and we were dying from disease (and constantly at war)

The period in time maga refers to is probably one in which liberals weren’t forcing a narrative on POC and other minority groups that they’re less than the rest of society! Or in which liberals weren’t sitting on their big lazy asses collecting unemployment! The list goes on. Slavery has ended. Prison labor is arguably necessary in regard to reintegration. 13% of the population committing 60% of murders is a prime example that it’s not a race issue it’s a community issue

The statues were not erected during the actual Confederate period. They are not historical artifacts from that time. Statues serve the purpose of revering certain figures as representative of community values or as having had significant POSITIVE effects on history.
