but a slogan of “hope and change”, is fine, somehow that doesn’t have a negative connotation about the current state of affairs.
i don’t get it. they both imply that the current situation needs fixing.

Again implies we aren't great at the moment, I don't see any other way to spin that.
"Hope" is just a positive, confident word. "Change" doesn't imply we aren't great but that we can do better. Improve access to healthcare, improve environmental responsibility, less war, a non-nuclear Iran, more equality for the LGBT community etc... pretty much all the stuff that Trump is working to reverse.
Now you could argue that in Trump's mind we weren't great under Obama for the types of changes he helped to usher in. So maybe MAGA really means kick people off of health insurance, trash the environment, more war, discriminate against the gay community etc...
So we can be great again if that's what great means to you. It certainly seems like that's what it means to Trump.
