It symbolized a divided America, which is only exacerbated by Trump.

Oh thanks for that ‘cancel’ tip!

Another reason this is so offensive -

MAGA/America First, etc, this isn’t the first time it’s been used in American politics. Trump didn’t invent it - see Warren G. Harding in 1920: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_presidential_campaign_slogans

What’s so disgraceful, especially in this case, is that as a result of this type of attitude, foreign languages were banned from being taught in public schools. Mostly German, as a result of WWI, but in 1921 the Louisiana state constitution was amended to also ban French. https://bayoutechedispatches.blogspot.com/2024/10/banned-in-classroom-how-state-of.html?m=1

This was a disaster for the Cajun culture in that state. Landry and Johnson should understand this more than most - it’s a slap in the face to what happened to their (and my) parents and grandparents.

I don’t disagree with you, but things are different this time around.

• They learned, regrouped, and have an actual plan. They’re also emboldened because they won the popular vote.
• Trump seems unable to actually face consequences for his many wide-ranging crimes. He will never see justice. People are resigned that no matter what he does in life, punishment will never come for him. It’s easy to feel resigned when you’re up against someone like that and there’s no more hope to be had.
