How Harris's 'Not going back' message seeks to counter Trump's 'Make America great again' slogan

With the presidential tickets now set for 2024, Americans can expect to spend the next three months until Election Day hearing the repeated slogans and messaging that former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris hope will resonate with voters.
-snip-

“Our Country is failing, but we will turn it around, quickly, and MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!” Trump wrote in an Aug. 1 post on Truth Social.

For Harris, “Not going back” has been the most repeated tagline at campaign rallies since President Biden exited the race on July 21. At Tuesday’s rally in Philadelphia, where Harris introduced Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate, she used it to highlight Republican efforts to ban abortion.

“Tim and I have a message for Trump and others who want to turn back the clock on our fundamental freedoms: We’re not going back. We’re not going back,” a line that sparked the crowd to chant “Not going back.”

It's simple. Harris/Walz offers a future. Trump/Vance forces return to the past when only white men had opportunities. Lonestarblue Aug 2024 #1

Yes, I'm getting sick and tired of this slogan by tRUMP. It should be really 'Make America Worse Again'. I don't SWBTATTReg Aug 2024 #4
"WE WON'T GO BACK!" is a bit better. Marcuse Aug 2024 #5
