It IS a memorable symbol, more so because "great" is very much in the eye of the beholder, so to speak. Most viewers will instinctively visualize something about "America" (which is implied to mean the United States of the same) that supposedly made it great, e.g. "We used to watch more baseball and that was what really made America great." It makes no real statement about what might be considered great and what might be considered not so great. When was "America" great? Why was it "great?" A Native American might have a very different idea of what constitutes "great" than someone with a Gadsden flag bumper sticker or someone waving a US flag. It's very clever--it simply holds a mirror up to one's nostalgia-fueled political desires and implies some form of promise there. Wear this hat and support this politician, and maybe we'll watch more baseball together.

It was never meant as "let us turn the clocks back on everything" It was meant as: Let us be the beacon of freedom and prosperity. Let us be the country where the citizenry are strong-willed and independent of government. Let us be strong enough to speak the truth in the face of political correctness. Let us lead the world, as we did after Pearl Harbor took place. Let us be a country where the most important thing is family. Let us be tough again. There are many dark parts of our history that we (almost... of course there are still a few backwards, deranged lunatics) unanimously want to bury in our past, but there was also a lot that was great about our country's founding and its subsequent growth into a world superpower. In the past 15 years or so, our country has become soft, timid, and weak. We've become too afraid to tell the truth. We've become too weak to work to live (it's an absurd suggestion that you shouldn't have to work very hard to survive... nothing screams privilege more than that). Prior to the 2008 recession, and from 2014-2019, Americans had never had it better, and yet young leftists thought that the whole system sucked, wanted to tear it down, and give all power to the government. I'm sorry, but there is absolutely tons to admire about our country's history.

America is in a state of civilizational decline. That is why MAGA resonated with so many people. The US was at one point a cohesive, prosperous society where people generally trusted their government and believed in the American dream. Now this country is a mess. Parts of it resemble a third would country, and those part are getting bigger.

@@iammrbeat No, I'm kind of young. It is true that we have had some rough parts in our history, like the civil unrest during the 60's and 70's and the violent crime of the 80's and 90's. We bounced back from those. It feels like we aren't coming back from this slump. This nation is coming apart at its foundation, and it is widespread across the country, not concentrated in certain areas. Half of the country now thinks our foundational myths are evil (Columbus, founding fathers, Jamestown / Pocahontas, manifest Destiny, etc.) Race relations are also getting pretty bad. We are in some ways more segregated now than ever. We are becoming a multi racial country, and it seems like this is resulting is parallel societies to some degree.

Nice change of pace with this video! Interesting that a lot of the people you spoke to had negative connotations surrounding the hat. Correct me if I'm wrong, but Lawrence is kind of an outlier from Kansas at large (I live in Nebraska, and I think of Lawrence like I do Lincoln). I'd be curious what people would say in a more rural place in Kansas. I know rural folk in Nebraska have a different attitude towards MAGA than folk do in Lincoln. Also, unfortunately, I generally associate the MAGA hat with some form of ignorance. I don't like to cast judgment when I see it, but it does happen. Keep up the great work Mr. Beat!

The hat is so politically charged that it's impossible to parody.

Speaking as somebody who grew up in Wichita, Lawrence is definitely the most liberal part of the state.

Improper for a gentleman to wear a hat indoors. Old school is good school.

Make America great again is probably the greatest slogan in political history. It can be interpreted as anything we vote at once, and I think that’s why so many people were drawn to it. For me personally, it was going back to the simple days of the 80s and 90s that my parents were talk about like it was the greatest era of time. Where you could have a lemonade stand, where the rest built was prosperous, when there wasn’t this much divisive nature, When the economy was great, Where you could actually have afford things as a young adult, etc
