The "elderly" are the ones that remember what it was like to live in an America to be proud of. Their phrase would have been "America [is] great". "Make" and "Again" were not necessary. They weren't brainwashed with liberal BS from kindergarten on.
Blame them, and them alone, for letting the country go to hell if you choose, but realize:
The elderly worry about the ignorance of the younger generations as much as you do about the oldsters.
