    GE= the God Emperor, i.e. Trump. A term chosen I think from Warhammer 40,000 and aimed at annoying moderates and lefties.
    Quote might also be from the Dune series of books by Frank Herbert. One was God, Emperor of Dune​ which predates Warhammer.

      I thought Obama's slogan was "change we can believe in"? I'm not quite sure what he changed.

        Both were used by Obama. Hope and change was frequently found on his campaign posters.

          God Emperor of Dune dates from 1981 and the "God Emperor" was Leto II (Paul Atreides son) after he became a mixture of both Sand Worm and human and ruled the universe for several thousand years. The game Warhammer 40,000 is also from the 1980s but from 1987.

            That's why a number of wags would joke about how they hope they will have some spare change left after Obama is done.

              Next comes the part where the dictator insists that only *they* can fix the problem but they need *even more* power to do so. Rinse and repeat.

                Pretty sure the term been around quite a bit longer than that. Frank Herbert didn't invent it.

                  Also correct -- at least in concept

                    God is great, beer is good and people are crazy.

                    If THAT ain't the pure and simple.
                    The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

                        America will remain great. But it is because the people will keep it great and not leave things in the hands of politicians.

                        We do have to wake up to the incompetence of the government and the lies of the media. We have to rise to the occasion and help people recover without the "help" of the government and media.

                          Ok I'll play. What specific thing should I do today to accomplish that?

                            Why do you call this a "play" thing? It is more of a survival thing at this point.

                              It's me saying "Let's explore this" even though I disagree with your premise.

                                The problem with the slogan is that it implies that America isn't currently great.
