The Tao of the MAGA Slogan
We all know a political slogan or catchy phrase when we hear it because it is chanted by crowds or groups of people who very often use it to justify their total trust in a candidate or their fanatical behavior.

Slogans have always been used as motivators political campaigns or times of war when soldiers need to be motivated. When things are not going well, there is nothing like a slogan in order to get the sluggish slugging or the sloth willing to run marathons if need be. It strengthens determination in finishing a difficulty task in order to reach a goal. Churchill's
"The only thing we have to fear is fear itself" comes to mind.
Remember the Alamo
Then there was the slogan "Remember the Alamo!" employed by Sam Houston's army in order to overcome Santa Ana's troops. The message of the slogan was that revenge needed to be exacted from the Mexican soldiers without mercy in order for justice to be exacted. chanting the slogan tends to put logical reasoning on hold and those chanting it tend to behave like mindless machines as their emotions of outrage kick in. So the Mexican soldiers there were mercilessly mowed down regardless on whether they had been at the Alamo or not.
Remember the Main
MAGA: Making America Great Again Slogan
Which brings us to the present-day slogan of MAGA, Making America Great Again. Now, there is nothing wrong with any American wishing to make America great again. In fact, it is part of an American's patriotic duty to do as much as possible to keep his country strong.
So the problem with the slogan isn't with the slogan itself. It is with the assumption that a certain group of people have caused America to fall into non-greatness ad that that group of people should not be in the United States. Such statements are what makes the MAGA slogan as powerful as the slogans of "Remember the Alamo!" or "Remember the Maine!"People are accused of an injustice and must be made to pay. Pay in what ways? Well, there are numerous ways in which the targeted people can be forced to pay. It all depends on who the fanatical person fanatically striving to MAGA is and what means are at his disposal.

Dentists, Mechanics and Boxing Judges Examples
Dentists
It's easy to MAG against a specific group since they cannot avoid the use of certain services. Members of the medical profession, for example require the trust of their customers. Once that trust is acquired, then anything becomes possible. For example, A dentist might decide to ruin a tooth or teeth by drilling sideways and saying he slipped. Or he can inflict agonizing pain via not injecting enough Novocain. Or he can simply refuse to accept members of the target group as patients ad in that way forcing them to travel farther.

Mechanics
A mechanic might decide to overcharge a member of the targeted group. Or he might damage the car in numerous ways in order to feel he has done his part in MAGA by making a member of a targeted group feel unwelcomed in the USA.

Boxing match judges and refs
A judge might choose to score the fight against a fighter of the targeted group regardless of how he has performed. A ref might choose to prevent fighting on the inside or else take away points so that the member of the targeted group falls hopelessly behind. Or else he might choose to ignore blatant foul behind the belt or ion the groin. Then stop the fight as the stunned boxer reels from the damage.
The opportunities in which the MAGA might be deployed are really endless and will run the gamut from the relatively bloodless to outright murder when a MAGA fanatic chooses to make a MAGA statement by purchasing an automatic weapon and spraying a crowd of those he feels responsible for his country's deplorable condition.
