Was it when millions of Black people were denied the right to vote?
Was it before black people in the South were allowed a chance at an equal education?
Was it before 50% of Americans were allowed to vote ( women)? Was that when America was great?
Was it when women were paid equally for equal work? Oh wait, that still has not happened.
When was America great?
Just to establish a baseline for Trumps MAGA state... (show quote)


1776-1933 and 1981-1989z

America was great when it sold slaves and when it discriminated against gays and women. Strange definition of great. Which of those do you want to bring back so we can be great again.

I wouldn't expect anyone who flies the United States flag upside down to think America was ever, or will ever, be great. There is nothing preventing you from moving to a country you think is better than America, if you can find one.

So you cannot state when America was great. The rest is deflection to try and change the topic. Try real hard to not use your deflections and give me a date range as to when America was Great.

It was a campaign slogan. I would have preferred Make America Exceptional Again. Obama trashed American exceptionalism.

America has always been great. Never Perfect, has dark spots and blemishes, but always was and still is Great.

Trump's campaign slogan is just BS, like most of the stuff he says.

But aside from being an embarrassing blowhard a-hole, he has done quite a few things right, a few things wrong, but best of all...he has done what good POTUS's do...he hasn't derailed a growing economy.

So most of the time was before you were born.
Interesting.

Why do you lie?

Slavery was a curse inherited from the British and perpetuated by the proto-democrats.

Who draws you s map to get home by when you leave the house?

Your deflections are becoming unhinged. You can do better, I am so disappointed that you can no longer hold up your end of the debate without being dishonest.
A country cannot be Great that promotes slavery and treats people like animals. Is this what you want to bring back?

The false promise being peddled by this White House that the solution to our problems is just to turn back the clock -- to "Make America Great Again" -- is not honest.

You can’t have an honest politics that revolves around the word “again.”


Has anyone here heard Pete Buttigieg speak? He's pretty normal and smart. I've put him at the top of my list of hopefuls to watch. We're probably not ready for a gay POTUS but normal and smart are 2 out of 3. It's pity because the current WH occupant is only coming in at 1 out of 3

And again you base the foundation of your argument on a lie, which is why you always lose.

Nice try but it is based on facts. Your assertion of a lie is just a poor deflection. They are used by dishonest people that cannot give a honest answer.
This country did sell people like animals during a time period that you gave as when America is Great.
Since the foundation of my statement was your assertions, for it to have been a lie, you must have been a liar. Please tell me you were not dishonest, I would be so disappointed.

The question was “when do YOU think America was great. Date range fine, you seem to have problems answering that.
Clinton lives in your head, not mine. I hoped there was extra room in there for independent thinking but maybe I am mistaken.
Not really a good diversion but you can try again.
