I would start with a Constitution that was so well written so as to have largely stood the test of time and weathered monumental societal changes.

The Constitution and the Bill of Rights

We really do have freedom so speak critically, even dishonestly, of the government, in spite of what some believe to the contrary.

We can own guns and the vast majority of them are never used crime.

Really nice and helpful people, in spite of stereotypes, both racial and territorial.

opportunity

and a back and forth seemingly built into the system that keeps the center in sight even when everything seems to be moving to danger (whichever side you favor)

Just being American is great common ground. The Constitution insures that. Also our melting pot diversity makes us great.

One thing all these snowflakes don't understand. Because of Capitalism we were able to go to the moon! Socialism could never have supported that. Without Capitalism we wouldn't have all these cell phones and other technologies that allows these people to connect on social media...... uhoh I think I just spotted a flaw in my reasoning...

If we are talking "great again' versus great, we need to talk about common ground for bringing back things to truly make us great again

Vinyl records
Hand written letters
Books
History education
Viewing history through the lens of it's own time
4.0 grade point max
Craftsmanship
Tolerance of other people's views
Trophys only for winners
Civil discourse in politics
A time when mass shootings were rare
A time where the internet and cameras did not record your every move and save or broadcast it for eternity
Assume you do not know everything or are not always right
