They never bothered to as who America was going to be made great for "again."
It was never really truly great for the little guy, but back in the early 1900s it sure was great for robber barrons and the ownership class... That's who they're making America great for again.
That's fine. Every poor conservative is a robber baron who just hasn't made it big yet anyway.
All I've ever wanted is to be left alone to live a small and humble life.
Me too.
Since Reagan and Welch converted their opposition party and company cultures respectively, let's not pretend this hasn't been a bipartisan project for half a century. Neoliberals and Fascists playing good cop/bad cop on social issues to divide us and stop us from looking up at our common enemy while giving away the store to their bipartisan robber barron bribers and defending their various, murderous capitalist confidence schemes from the people they hurt. You can vote for any party you want, so long as they put reckless, short term economic metastasis at all human cost above everything else.
One with affirmation ribbons, one with scapegoating. Both for murder for profit, both for the poors dying in the streets to keep the laborers fearful and in line.
