9. I always saw the "take America back" slogan as meaning back to the early 1900's.

That was when the KKK terrorized black people in the South, when Jim Crow laws made it nearly impossible for black people to vote, and, the big one, before the 19th Amendment gave women the right to vote.

Ah for the "good old days" when white men ruled everything.

That's what making America great again means to the white supremacists.
Unfortunately, white women haven't figured it out yet. They think they're part of the picture. I'm sure Abbot of Texas and DeSantis of Florida wouldn't mind passing laws to make it very hard for women to vote.
I don't know how they'd do it, but they're very resourceful.
