    Make America Great Again!

    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.
