I think that’s an uncharitable take on his position. He’s criticising bush era wars like in Iraq and implying the second world war, which is very much a moral war for the USA.

He is invoking a romanticised past but that’s his whole character arc - believing in the America that could be, that ostensibly was, and how far they’ve come from their values.

The connection to MAGA is superficial. His speech is properly quixotic- designed to inspire the best in national identity, even if it’s foolish

The opening scene from the Newsroom about why America is not the greatest country in the world. It’s such a good self evaluation and gives hope for the future

I came here to say this and I’m glad someone got here first
