Why would ANYONE praise Reagan's propaganda and "trajectory"?
Maybe because they...............

Maybe they weren't there at the time? Weren't paying attention? Weren't born yet? Learned about the "Reagan Era" in school?

Maybe they wanted to be Alex Keaton? Didn't notice that the "Great Communicator" could not complete a sentence. "Well........ well........." ?

Maybe they believe homelessness is a lifestyle choice? Thought Reagan would look good in the Disneyland robotic Hall of Presidents?

Maybe they knew someone's brother-in-law's cousin's father who claimed he saw a "welfare queen" wearing furs and diamonds driving a Cadillac?

Maybe they didn't see a problem with rampant media consolidation until 30 years after it started? Never read "1984"? Think ketchup IS a vegetable?

Maybe they fell for "Greed Is Good"? Thought "Death Squad" was a band name? Thought Reagan's joke about bombing the Soviet Union in 5 minutes was funny?

Maybe they bought the lie that Ollie North was a "hero"? Thought that not impeaching a criminal president and administration was better for the country than upholding the Constitution?

Maybe they know who shot J.R.? Got fooled by the catchy slogan "Morning In America" while Reaganomics trickled wealth and ownership upward to the richest of the superrich?

Maybe they don't understand that Reagan's "trajectory" built on big lies and propaganda propelled us to the current administration of big lies and propaganda?

Maybe they like old men in rouge? Don't know that a lot of the current "illegal aliens" have fled the effects of Reaganism's policies south of the border?

Maybe they think that not impeaching a criminal president and administration is better for the country than upholding the Constitution?

Maybe they want to be the next "Great Communicator" of the art of propaganda with a national "trajectory"?
