Isn't "MAGA" an admission that currently, America is NOT great? (lemmy.world)

Just something MAGA-people seem to have a hard time with sometimes. Probably not as much when Americans are speaking to themselves, but as a non-American, sometimes it's challenging to get "those people" to admit that there is indeed anything wrong with the US. As in they won't accept a single criticism, and will loudly proclaim "America is the greatest country in the world", while wearing a "Make America Great Again" hat, which for me pretty explicitly means America isn't great, if it has to be made to be such again.

Yes, actually. Hell, lemmy will tell you that rent is sky high, wages are too low, theres not enough workers rights, just everything is fucked.

The MAGA solution is just different than the left wing solution.

The MAGA solution is just different than the left wing solution.

So different that it in no way, shape, or form solves anything.

Lol! What "left wing" solution?

A ton exist, my friend. Ideas abound. Implementation is the challenge.

"Starting conversations" and "bringing awareness"

You know, by posting shitty memes on the internet

[–] PepperoniNipple@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

So, is this how republicans stay so fucking stupid? They never have conversations or develop cognitive awareness of anything? Goddamn

[–] masquenox@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Does that actually work in real life? Just blundering into any conversation without the foggiest idea what it is you are actually talking about?
