Your article is not about Arkansas high school cheerleaders, it's about North Carolina cheerleaders.

That's easy. Name for me any demographic or ethnicity of American citizens who would be better off going back to where their people originally came from. In virtually every case, their life gets worse and not better, especially for the people you likely view as oppressed or marginalized. If you're standard for "greatness" is perfection then there never has been a "great" nation in the history of the world. But we certainly are better than anything that has come before us and we're always improving.

One nice thing about those who protest MAGA - you learn the identity of those who want to make America worse.

Or you learn that different people have different ideas about what makes a country great. Because removing environmental protections, changing tax laws to benefit the top 1%, promoting private education over public education, making national parks smaller and more accessible to oil developers, backing out of international treaties without any treaties to replace the gutted ones, promoting isolationism and xenophobia, are all such positive policies. Or not.

I'm sure you think about teachers and their politics too.

The kids weren't in class or on school time. The school dress code (if there is one) shouldn't apply to a football game that is on someone's personal time.

If you weren't equally outraged by this then you are a hypocrite.

The football game is a school function, and the football field/stands/facilities are school property. As cheerleaders, the girls represent the school. To characterize this as "personal time" is a gross mischaracterization.

If you're referring to the glorious People's Democratic Socialist Republic, yes, I concur. He is not dismantling it. The State of Emergency is still in force since 1933. We have voluntary compulsory national socialism (FICA) - the law says voluntary, but employers are told not to hire unnumbered Americans. We have worthless IOUs (dollar bills) instead of lawful money. We're bankrupt and if not for 320 million human resources pledged as collateral, we'd be s.o.l. We have hyper inflation, devaluation so that a 1910 copper cent has the buying power of $2 (2019). In fact, the paper funny munny is so much crap, the government can't afford to steal -ahem- buy bullion to stamp cents and nickles. Oh, and we had to scrap silver fractional coin in the Coinage Act of 1965.
Yeah, make America great again is a wonderful platitude.
But since 1933, the socialists have not been doing their job, party membership notwithstanding.

Trump the Leopards sounds like a good name for an indie rock band.
