"Make Europe Great Again". Seriously, that is the new slogan for the Hungarian EU presidency.

Ironic considering that "Let's Make America Great Again" was Ronald Reagan's campaign slogan in 1980.
> 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."
He kinda succeeded…
And Make Britain Great Again is so much better than America/Europe/literally anything that doesn't have great in its name
I see no joy
I see only sorrow
I see no chance of your bright new tomorrow
So stand down Margaret
Stand down pleaseIt’s harder to argue against “Make America Great Again” or “Black Lives Matter”. Their object-level meanings are fairly anodyne and positive. It’s much easier to argue against “MAGA” or “BLM”, since the meaning is obscured by the acronym.
Political movements with nice slogans should avoid turning them into acronyms.
I mean, I guess it's become like a brand name. But if you think about it for a minute, it's carrying a subtext that Trump failed last time.
However, it is a signal (we cannot really talk of dog whistle here, it’s rather obvious) to other far-right parties with similar nationalist agenda that he’s on their side. So a better reading might be “make [individual countries in] Europe great again”.
