RE: Democrats Hate Democracy!

As a counterpoint, what does the MAGA faction really mean by "Make America Great Again?" That slogan seems to encompass contradictory ideas of nationalism and individualism while failing to really define what was great in the past.

There is a real xenophobic undercurrent justified by both real complaints about the welfare state and arbitrary appeals to "sovereign borders" as a matter of national pride. Government boundaries are not the same as property lines, and travel without state permission is not equivalent to trespass.

Further, while I have said the Trump started no new wars, the MAGA movement has a strange jingoistic attitude toward foreign affairs that could erupt into justification for pointless wars based on their ill-defined national pride.
