"Make X great again" was once a neutral phrase, and has now been misappropriated and politicized. I say - let's make it neutral again! And kudos to Prof. Lager

- dvfjsdhgfv 8y agoI'm not interested in blaming or praising anyone, I just want to use simple phrases like "let's make math joyful again" without worrying someone might associate it with racism or other things that didn't even cross my mind. It's not about MAGA anymore, it's just more and more often people's innocuous statements are interpreted in an offensive way, and at some point you just prefer not to speak anymore because you don't know what can be offending, and you don't ever touch important matters, keeping your opinions to yourself, maybe allowing a watered-down version that actually doesn't make any point - and that's the public discourse today.
