The new (and disgusting) face of the Republican Party, Donald Trump, has anchored his campaign on a foundational slogan he “inherited” from Ronald Reagan (like the millions he squandered from his father): Make America Great Again.
Setting aside that Trump is either a liar (well, is a liar) or is incredibly stupid since he claims he created that slogan, the concept itself creates a yuge logic problem for the Republican Party.
First, the slogan directly states America is now not great.
If this is true, it certainly reads next that whoever is running our state and federal governments must be at least significantly to blame for the lack of greatness, right?
Among Republicans, the anti-government roar has a long and loud history.
So here comes the logic problem: Republicans control the vast majority of state and federal power in the U.S.
That means that if America is now not great, and if government is to blame, then the Republican Party and its candidates are the source of all this not-greatness.
Thus, how in the hell is it logical to vote for Trump or any Republicans?

Disclaimer: I am not now a Democrat, and I have never been a member of any political party. I do not support and will not vote for Hillary Clinton (nor for Green or Libertarian). I am very openly campaigning against anyone voting for Trump because he is uniquely a horrible human and candidate. A reasonable person can argue for Hillary or a third party candidate, but nothing can justify supporting Trump. His brand is so toxic, it likely has damaged any credibility the Republican Party was clinging to for years or decades to come.Republicans Have a Yuge Logic Problem | the becoming radical:
