When did America start being great?
Did it ever stop being great?
Was it ever made great again?

In a very different sense and definition one can argue that late 1980s was when America became not "Great" in my mind.  I always have been a supporter of an Euro-centric America where it is clear that USA was built on Western Civilization and is a West European Civilization offshoot.   In my mind all public discourse should be based on the premise that the dominant cultural norm of America is a Euro-centric America.  In the late 1980s was when this basic premise which I considered core began to change.  Words like Multiculturalism, "Diversity is our strength" etc etc started to prop up.  Even as an extreme atheist I found it demoralizing that then I was told that one cannot say "Happy Christmas" anymore for fear of offending people.

Western Civilization, in my mind, is the superior civilization in the world.  As a Chinese I find sad to admit that this is true but it is.  It is my hope that one day the Chinese Civilization can reach parity with the West but that would have be based on real accomplishments and not empty mumbo-jumbo statements like "we are all the same" and "diversity is our strength."  Until then I find it demoralizing that a nation that I live in based on what I consider the superior civilization would choose to abandon those European roots and in that sense became not "Great" in my eyes.  I also found it sad that during college I often ended up being the vanguard to defend Western Civilization where it was clearly under attack when it was not even "my" civilization.  

When I voted for Trump I did not vote for Trump the person who I have fairly negative feelings toward but I voted for an Euro-centric America.  

I hope Trump's brownshirts put you and your family on a boat and ship y'all back to Taiwan so we can preserve our Euro-centric values. Smiley
Cheesy

So, it is not just me. Being transracial is a real thing.

What is "Great" anyways?
Is that just what we call not being disappointed or regretting the fact we were born or moved here?

Well, it was a slow process of decline.  The peak of greatness was somewhere from 1945 to 1960.  Everybody bought American cars, "Made in America" meant quality and a lot of things were made here, we won wars and they were usually declared by Congress (Korea being an early exception), Hollywood made films that were great and not filled with cursing and graphic sex and violence, people respected the flag and authority, drugs were so taboo that people didn't dare mention them in casual conversation.  America was respected all over the world.  People didn't expect handouts and all sorts of freebies from the government.  School kids recited the pledge of allegiance.  
Is America still great?  Yes.  But that greatness is greatly compromised by the leftist agenda and cultural degradation, globalism, and other destructive forces.
In other words, it was the jews.
