1. That's what the motto means...

"Make America Great Again" it is code for "Everyone will know their place, again".

This is why Trump supporters can't tell you when America was great. Why its not great now.

They can't tell you what is it about now, versus then, that made America great then, but not great now.

It is because they aren't really saying "America is not great" they are saying we are going to turn back the clock where the wife was the husbands property and minorities had no voice.

Ask your conservative friends what "Make America Great Again" means. They can't tell you because it is unspeakable, some of them (women, minorities, disabled persons) believe that it means something different, but the deadbeat dads at the trump rallies, they know what it is code for. They won't tell you, but they know.
