“Make America Great Again, My Ass” is a sharp, unapologetic parody music video that takes aim at the hollow nostalgia behind MAGA politics. While politicians chant about a “better past,” this video highlights the very real ways America is failing people right now — from economic inequality and crumbling infrastructure to culture wars, book bans, and the erosion of basic rights.
Set to biting lyrics and uncomfortable imagery, this parody pulls back the curtain on performative patriotism and exposes the disconnect between political slogans and lived reality. If you’re tired of being told things are “great” while wages stagnate, healthcare collapses, and democracy feels fragile, this one’s for you.
This project isn’t about hating America — it’s about refusing to accept lies, propaganda, and selective memory as patriotism. Real love for a country means holding it accountable.
Watch, share, and argue in the comments — just don’t pretend everything’s fine.

LYRICS by Don Caron
Flag on the bumper
Badge on the chest
Unmarked vans rolling
Not our brightest or best
They snatch some kid
From his own driveway
While they hide their faces
For their safety, they say
They call it order
While they gas the crowd
Turn up the sirens
Make ’em good and loud
Make America great again, my ass
I see freedom getting hauled off
Through the broken glass
You can wrap it in a slogan
Sell it en masse
But “Make America great again?” My Ass!
Suit on the camera
Hand on the lies
Says, ”It’s all perfect”
While another mother cries
Green cards gettin’ shredded
Families gettin’ split
Watch ‘em stamp that paperwork
Like they enjoy this shit
Surrounded by yes‑men
Who will lie to please
They clap on command
Do it all with ease
Do it on their knees
Make America great again, my ass
I see freedom getting hauled off
Through the broken glass
You can wrap it in a slogan
Sell it en masse
But “Make America great again?” My Ass!
Dead on the sidewalk
He shrugs, “Not me”
Sends in more muscle
On live TV
Families broken
But he smirks and grins
Says, ”We’re law and order”
While he hides his own sins
We’ll make America great again, my ass
I see freedom getting hauled off
Through the broken glass
You can wrap it in a slogan
Sell it en masse
But “Make America Great Again?” My Ass!
