Managing decline is not a plan for survival. No matter what you think of Trump, this was one of his primary policy issues, and is the basis for the "Make America Great Again" slogan.
- adra 4y agoThe creedo has a more specific and probably incorrect message: " we are broken, we need to be fixed. (Implied) I'll fix things". It's easy to attract conservative minded people as a rally cry to your cause when you reach for a nostalgic rhetoric about "the good ol' days" fallacy. Much divergent from the often left leaning "we can build a better future" which should probably also be considered a fallacy. Back on topic, I don't think the electioneering slogan had any actual policy significance.
