    I guarantee you that’s where Turnip’s team got the slogan. Some unpaid internet played the game and mentioned it as Orange was walking by.

      It was a Reagan campaign, and people like Roger Stone and Steve Pieczenick were involved. Listening to him on Knowledge Fight covering Infowars, they aren’t in touch enough to know video game references, unfortunately, since that would have been hilarious.

      It originated from Reagan who took it from Thatcher, with Reagan not getting the “Make Britan Great Again” pun works because Great Britain is the name of the English portion of the UK

      Yeeah, by the time Trump used it, it was a cliché slogan for cinematic hard-right-wing movements and political parties in America. I think the one in The Purge is Keeping America Great

      So it was a clue during the campaign that Trump was meaning to do a literal fascism.
