Make America Normal Again. Normal was when the differences in our two-party system were more in balance. The threat of communism was external, rather than internal. I'm using the term 'threat' because communism actually is a threat to democracy.
I agree bringing the country together may seem impossible, but that's exactly what happened post Civil War. In contrast, Trump wants to try using economic success as the path forward, and that sure beats shooting your neighbors, in my opinion. We also don't want a uniting force to be an attack by aliens or some grand-scale catastrophe, which reminds me, I still haven't gone up to Yellowstone this year.
