I thought that was a very astute and pithy comment.

The last "A" in "MAGA" is all about false nostalgia. We have had many moments of greatness as a country, but progress moves forward, not backward. Our past includes slavery, oppression, denial of rights and much targeting of minority groups. Nostalgia is not a strategy.
