The slogan itself is lifted from Reagan’s 1980 campaign, so it’s nothing new

...Which in turn lifted it from the National Front's "Make Britain Great Again," which is the last time it was actually clever wordplay.

Reagan stole it from an American as well but the theme that everything was somehow better 40 years ago predates this country as a whole by like I dunno the history of the world presumably.

The joke is Britain's full name is Great Britain.

Oh wow. So it's double-poached from an actually witty slogan? These cretins really are the worst.
