The article examines two prominent political slogans from recent U.S. presidential campaigns - "Make America Great Again" and "We're Not Going Back" - and their contrasting effects on public sentiment.
The author argues that political slogans are powerful tools of communication that can shape the trajectory of a society. They are a means of settling disputes civilly, rather than through violence, as suggested by historical figures like Edward Bulwer-Lytton and Mao Zedong.
The slogan "Make America Great Again," used by Donald Trump, is analyzed as evoking a nostalgic vision of the past. In contrast, "We're Not Going Back," employed by Kamala Harris' campaign, is presented as a more forward-looking and hopeful message.
The article delves into the underlying implications and societal impacts of these slogans. "Make America Great Again" is seen as potentially promoting a return to a bygone era, while "We're Not Going Back" is interpreted as a call for progress and a rejection of regressive policies.
The author emphasizes the importance of carefully considering the language used in political discourse, as it can profoundly influence public opinion and the direction of social change.
