Explain this to me

[valarltd]

I've been seeing this a lot recently: "Take Back America."

It begs the questions:
Take it back from whom?
Take it back FOR whom?
Where are we taking it?
When are we taking it back to?
How did you lose it in the first place?

Oddly, when I ask those questions, the people doing the sloganeering never really have an answer?.

Taking it back for real Americans from the fake Americans who stole it from them in the first place. Stole through voting! And we're taking it back to before all those pesky liberals and minorities had a voice. And for the Hell of it, let's just take back women's suffrage while we're at it, because, really, why not?

That's my second favorite. Right behind "the people have spoken and we don't want -insert democrat initiative here-."

Excuse me? I'm a "people" too and I fucking want it.
