It takes a special kind of psychopath to look back with fondness upon five centuries of unchecked western colonialism and imperialism and then advocate a return to those horrific days. Mass genocides across entire continents. The African slave trade. The violent subjugation and enslavement of entire populations. That is what Rubio is looking back on and sighing with nostalgia.
Their definition of Great doesn’t mean a positive, healthy work and lifestyle for all Americans, it means a return to military might and power, and USING IT.
We’ve always been a powerful country, but we generally preferred Teddy Roosevelt’s version: Speak softly, but carry a big stick.
But MAGAs have an entirely different mindset, which is to ruthlessly exploit every advantage until it is completely used up. What good is all that power, if you don’t wield it to increase your own greatness? Give Teddy’s Big Stick to MAGA, and they can’t resist swinging that stick, beating everybody they can reach, including their own citizens.
If you put out a bowl of candy on Halloween, with a sign that said Please Take One, a MAGA would come along and take it all, and feel good about it.
