    Further:

    Criminal-element aside, why don't these people just run the same gauntlet we Americans did back in the day?

    That way they would have proper appreciation for what America represents.


    Next?

    Originally one only needed to white and have resided in the US for a period of two years to apply for citizenship. Back then, white meaning not Black ('cause slavery) or Chinese( 'cause other racism).

    Conservatism and Liberalism are matters on which reasonable people may disagree but this MAGA shit is a whole other animal. Entirely based on cruelty, stupidity, fear of the the other, subservience to wealth, dismantling of democracy and the cult of Orange.
    TDS is just another hollow attempt by the Murdochs and Bannons of the World to cloud the issue and give their sheep another bumper sticker phrase to shout.

    Also, that Trump's "buyout/retirement demand" caused relevant DC ATC staff to leave DC airspace unsupervised.

    Not so oddly, Newsweek finds itself similarly afflicted by TDS, but, reason having reasserted itself, concluded (check this yourself) that-

    "There is currently no indication that Trump's executive order played a role in the accident involving the two aircraft carrying 60 passengers and four crew members."


    Next?
    If I sell you a perfectly good car and you flatten the tires before driving away that's on you. There hadn't been a single problem in 16 years then Trump hobbled the system and this is what occurred.
    I think you want to review your "perfectly good car' analogy.

    With a tiny bit of effort, you'll find your problem.

    So Making America Great Again has no appeal for you?

    The counterintuitive nature of your statement indicates two possibilities only, the first being that (as a Canuck?) you don't want America to be great, or (most likely) you thought America-under-Biden was great.

    Beyond that, Logic dictates the only conclusion is TDS.


    I have a bit of advice for you-

    Stop thinking in terms of Liberalism/Conservatism, Democrat/Republican, Left/Right..

    Think Possible/Impossible.



    Now - as a Canadian, you have more important things to think about than America - you have to find the most solidly Socialist replacement you can for Trudeau.

    I wish you luck.

    Slogans can be very very misleading
    Then clearly you have been mislead.

    The 'Nazi" stuff is entirely a product of the Left and it's media, and it appears you subscribe to it.

    For the edification of anyone else tracking this thread, here is the quote from Snopes:

    What's True

    A prominent theme during the Nazi Party's ascendancy was restoring Germany to its former greatness, and Adolf Hitler used the phrase "make Germany great again" upon occasion.

    What's False

    "Make Germany Great Again" was not a (campaign) slogan employed by Hitler, and Donald Trump and Adolf Hitler are far from the only politicians who promised to make their countries "great again."
