Take back our country
1. a rallying cry for people who think the united states has been “taken over” by anti-american socialists, foreigners, liberals, marxists, minorities, etc.
the phrase is typically used by white male conservatives who oppose any type of change they perceive as a “threat” to their “way of life.” instead of providing a specific plan for improving the country or the government, they imply that the nation has been “kidnapped” by evil people who hate america and want to destroy freedom.
unanswered questions: a) who is “we”? b) where do “we” want to take the country back to?
2. a phrase that implies our current government is somehow “illegitimate” despite the election of november 2008 when a majority of americans voted for obama and the current congress.
ed: “we’ve got to take back our country. otherwise those people in washington will force our children to become communist muslim freedom-hating slaves of obama. the rest of us will be forced to live in secret fema concentration camps. just you wait and see!”
