I want to acknowledge you. I realize you have your agenda. I have to believe that you’re doing what you believe is right for this country.

There is something to be said about America regaining its former strength. Our country is rife with problems and hasn’t always taken a strong stance on the issues that matter. We do have a lot to fix.

One reason why we have earned the right to be the world’s superpower and guarantee economic cooperation, interdependence, and the security of many nations is that we have stood for democracy, tolerance, and equality. We have been a friend to many nations. We have stood up for what’s “right” in the world. The world accepts our hegemony because we’ve been the “benevolent hegemon.”

History shows that periods of isolationism, nationalism, and contraction have been periods of darkness.

Making America great again is a concept I can get behind. What makes America great is opportunity and plurality in ways of being. Our role on the global stage is to promote freedom, ensure security, and help fuel economic growth.

Let’s invest in education, infrastructure, saving the planet, technology. Enlightenment. Progress.

That’s the way to make this country great again.

I wish I had something more eloquent and well-researched to say, but I’m lazy, and I just wanted to start by saying something.
