Making America Great Again?
MAGA, or making America Great again, is the primary political slogan made popular by former President Trump and the Republican Party. It is based on the premise that America has undergone significant reduction in its greatness, and that it is the responsibility of every patriotic citizen to help in its restoration by voting for him.
Well, first and foremost, America is still a great county. In fact America is the greatest economic and military power on Earth. For example in the list of economic powers, the United states ranks first as the list below based on data garnered in the year 2022 shows

Making America Greater
However, that doesn't mean that there isn't a any room for criticism or improvement, or that America did not lose some of its endearing qualities over the years.
For example, there was a time when all those unskilled jobs that have been relocated to foreign countries, such as Japan, China, Taiwan, Mexico, the Philippines, were abundantly available to unskilled American citizens. In short, it was far easier for unskilled workers to find jobs in the USA than it is now.
So the relocation of such industries for the sake of augmentation of profits has indeed resulted in making life far more difficult for American unskilled workers than it had once been.
So yes, bringing back those jobs to the USA would indeed improve the lives of American citizens who are presently struggling to make ends meet ad increase America's greatness. Fortunately the trend to bring the jobs back to the United States is now in full swing.

Ironically, those who are the most vociferous and fanatically harping about making America great again are the very ones who are threatening make America far less than what it has been in the past.
How? Well, by weakening national unity via creating friction among ethnic groups. Also, by undermining the very democratic principles that have made America great to begin with, via the elevation of one man over the laws of the land, and even threatening another Civil War and political disintegration over the results of an election. Such political turmoil is characteristic of socially inept banana republics and unstable societies, and not of the great America which had provided a horribly distraught world with the impression of unshakable stability.
