Is Reaganism Finally Dead?

At its core, Reaganism amounted to nothing more than the self-centered pursuit of personal wealth, fueled by a combination of "every man for himself," "I've got mine, screw you," and "fuck the other guy before he surely fucks you" mantras that viewed the social contract as nothing more than a crutch that allowed "losers" to take from the "deserving."

I'll never forget when Reagan got up as president and said, "I still believe that the USA is a country where anybody can grow up to be a millionaire." That contrasted so unfavorably with what I had always heard as a kid growing up in the 50s & 60s, ie: "This is a country where anyone can grow up to become president."

I really hope this election has put a few nails in Reaganism's coffin.

As bad as junior was, as bad as Rmoney would have been, as bad as the Tea Party and the radical Republics of today are, they wouldn't exist were it not for that asshole Reagan.
