One would think that when "Take back our country" is stated, it's primarily for an aging demographic group left over from a time when America meant apple pie and baseball for some and lynchings, beatings, and disenfranchisement for others.

Is that what they are saying?

Take back our country is divisive.

When we take back OUR country, who's the our referring to, and whom are we taking back our country from?

Talk to me.
Perhaps you should direct this question to democrats that started the phrase in 2004. I am sure you were deeply offended by them back in 2004.

"Take our country back" all the way to 2008 which is what Republicans love - massive job losses, a crashing economy, rampant misery, discrimination against minorities..

So what? The Republicans have a habit of taking positive phrases and distorting them into devious ones. Examples:

Tea Party (once considered a little girls play term and part of patriotic boston history, now associated with a notorious knuckle dragger movement)

Freedom + Patriots (and they are anything but, especially when considering minorities)

Faith (only Christians need apply)

They want to go back in time to the leave it to beaver days when all housewives vacuumed wearing high heels and a pearl necklace and minorities knew their place. Life can be hard as an adult, and some folks just can't cope with it.

So basically you want to "take back" the country from people who were the majority in free, open, democratic, legitimate elections in 2008 and 2012? Hmmm...sounds like there's more to it than that.
