Thread: Where did “Make America Great Again” come from? Yes we know Reagan used it. But do you think it came from Trump?
It came from the Council of National Policy. I’ve mentioned them in my threads before. But who are they. What do they want? They represent white Protestant

property owners. They dreamed of restoring a nineteenth century patriarchy that limited the civil rights of women, minorities, immigrants, with no tax to vex the rich and no safety net to aid the poor. They believe they only have until 2031 to achieve this. They are

already are way above the game. They own thousands of radio stations all over the country spewing this to listeners. They had to up their game after Obama legalized gay marriage. MSM are not combatting this as they have to put profits first, particularly after the collapse of

so many news outlets in the early 2000’s.
This movement is supported by the ultra wealthy. They are selling a harsh combination of plutocracy and theocracy and it is getting them out to vote. They talk of the dangers of science and moral decay. It has extended its reach to

Fox News operations and grown to include fundamentalist television broadcasting, digital platforms, book publishing and feature-film production. It has a powerful impact, it describes the mass shooting on October 1, 2017, as “Satan’s work” so is immune to legislation. They talk

of moral decay, but they are hugely immoral because of their amorality. It has created a parallel universe that has been devastating to American democracy. This is a fight. I’m talking we must up our game to counteract it. For me, this is an arms race to 2031 because if they

win. We will have a theocracy run completely by plutocrats. They are so powerful that they believe they are above the law. Legal issues are not put through the courts that they must attend, they are sent straight to the Supreme Court and they are dismissed. Since 1981 this has

been happening. We are 39 years behind and have only 10 years to rectify. They have spent these years building party machines at a state level. The Republican control of statehouses supported their gerrymandering efforts, and powerful donors helped them tackle Labor unions in

Wisconsin, Michigan and other Democratic strongholds. When unions list the right to collective bargaining in the Rust Belt, it crippled their ability to represent their members in the political process. The statehouse strategy also allowed the Council of National Policy and its

allies to use state governments as staging grounds for aspirants to national office. One such state was Michigan, the home of Betsy DeVos and her powerful clan and another was Mike Pence’s Indiana. The CNP set its sights on the Republican Party in a decades long crusade to

promote right wing extremists and drive moderates out of office.

America has some very mentally sick people that do not care about Americans. They want to own America, have modern day slaves, that being everyone from middle class down. But we have an advantage, because we know what they are doing and we can fight back. But it’s going to be

a tough battle. But this battle includes all Americans who struggle everyday. What they have managed to do is co-opt people they are against (Trump supporters).
