Thank you. As others, I’m sure, I needed to hear something positive about my country amid all this crazy stuff going on. Good job, great article.
I never understood the concept behind “Make American Great Again”. When has America NOT been great??? Seriously.
You are correct in that we do have a lot to be proud of. I believe Ronald Reagan was the first to politicize the slogan …Make America great again. Let’s face it without the United States intervention during WW2 half the world would be ruled by the Nazis and their allies. Like it or not we controlled the world. In today’s context, I feel people are referring to several factors that include:
-Energy independence, and the domestic supply chain
-illegal immigration and border control
-concerns about the rise of China
-The control of violent crime and prosecutors and attorneys who are lax on crime
-Government corruption in misuse of power
-Reduction of federal regulations
-School choice
Our family in the Czech Republic and Britain, as well as my colleagues in Germany, are very worried about our nation since 2021. Depends on who you ask.
It is nice to hear positive feelings about our country. We should take price in our history and our culture as well as owning mistakes and correcting them. I hope we remain a positive factor is others eyes.
Great positive article – thank you!
Your on-the-ground reporting was right on! Pew Research agrees that European opinions of America have been going up again. https://www.pewresearch.org/global/2021/06/10/americas-image-abroad-rebounds-with-transition-from-trump-to-biden/
