- smcl 7y agoWhile it might be straying slightly towards the off-topic, the second part is a very astute observation and an interesting connection that I did not personally make at first glance.
- drekembe 7y agoIt's a relevant comment. The author chose a title with heavy ties to politics. They shouldn't then be surprised when people bring that up in discussion. I personally also think it's not wise to choose a title that enforces a slogan with ties to hateful politics unless that was your goal from the start.

- jshevek 7y agoAll political slogans have ties to politics which someone finds hateful.
- thosakwe 7y agoThis is silly to say. Why deliberately miss the point? "Finding" some hateful is not the same as being on the receiving end of types of hate that have caused a lot of violence and persecution over centuries.

- jshevek 7y agoVery simply, the slogan is not hateful. That you have rationalizations for finding it so doesn't change this fact.
- thosakwe 7y agoLike I said earlier, why deliberately miss the point? "Make America Great Again" is a hateful slogan. You're purposely denying that to try to prove some point.
- jshevek 7y agoNo, I'm simply stating a fact. There is no reason for you to presume motive. You have chosen to perceive the slogan as hateful. This is your belief, your perception. It's not present in the slogan itself.
