If we weren't great the last 8 years--then we've never BEEN great. We live in a country where a misogynistic xenophobic racist asshole was voted in. So apparently the 1920's is exactly the era you want to go back to. Not me.
You are confusing the word great with the word utopia.
We do not have to live in a perfect nation in order for it to be great.
Great refers to the time when the US had strong socioeconomic strength coupled with strong global influence back by a strong leader who made deals that benefited America first.
