Libshit logic:
> "America was never great! America was founded on white supremacy, slavery and oppression! It's still a racist, sexist, homophobic, [insert -isms and -phobics here] country today!"
> "How is America not great now? Trump's slogan makes no sense!"

Never said it was never great. I'm asking when was it great? Last time I checked it never stopped? Are you suggesting America isn't great?
Also I'm not liberal. Would you care to provide proof of how I vote?

Probably during Coolidge's presidency. Back then, we had a government that understood they were spending other people's money and made damn sure not to waste a penny of it - or overtax us, for that matter. We had relatively free markets. We had actual manufacturing. Immigrants were expected to come in legally and integrate into American life - in fact, Coolidge signed off on what was then the strictest immigration law in American history.
America wasn't perfect - it was still a segregated country, after all. But unlike most of his successors, Coolidge genuinely supported civil rights for racial minorities and wanted to improve race relations. There just wasn't much he could do without the political will for it.
After Coolidge, Hoover got into office, ignored everything that made Coolidge's presidency so successful, and started wrecking the economy. And after Hoover, the left took over once and for all and started subverting everything that made America great, which they continue to do today.
