Forty years of Raygun- an unmitigated disaster

There I go

esp what he did to ca and now the rs want to do it again because they couldnt party , etc?

TFG never would have made it past the f'n escalator ride without f'n Reagan's initial earth scorching.

The long term damage he did is incalculable. He undid FDR’s New Deal.

The Top Marginal Tax Rate was 70% when he took over, down some from historical highs a bit. He slashed it to 28% before he left. On top of that he did away with the Fairness Doctrine.....which eventually begat Fox News, OAN, NewsMax, etc.

The B Actor President is hardly ever called to account on this, at least on Mainstream Media.

which were more recent than the New Deal programs.

Whether it was the harm he did to unions, mental health care, ignoring AIDS, extreme anti-drug policies, no help for the poor but lots of goodies for the GOP, etc.

Don't even get me started on his extensive crimes. The mutherf**** killed the economy, 12 years of a shitty admin who boasted family values, morality, Christian Right, Iran Contra deal, ...........

Admittance speech about Iran/Contra affair, of his part of the crimes committed.
He went on TV to admit what he did was illegal.

And the dumb$h1t people bought it.

and most people look at you like you are nuts unless they too were actually paying attention to what they did and not his doddering, head bobbing, jelly bean eating, stupid shucks show.

He was "their president" as kids or teens growing up, so they must identify in some way with the stage-managed version of that bullshit-spewing bastard.

Good grief, is that the deepest their brains will take them? Don't answer, we ALL know the answer to that.

My sons thankfully both investigate everything and are right with us on all of that. I taught them young about who wrecked the forward trajectory of this country. There were a lot of people who participated over a good number of years but Reagan captured something I will never understand in people. The willingness to like someone so much that they can get away with anything they want and not ever be questioned or punished. Those 8 years scared the hell out of me and with a few exceptions I have remained either scared or just hella skeptical.

the same type of people that pulled his strings are still at it.

DO NOT ELECT A F...ING ACTOR President of the United States. The only thing they know how to do is ACT. Think about it. They are TRAINED to make people believe lies. Entertainment is fine when the entertained understand that they are being entertained. It is criminal when it masquerades as government policy.

I totally agree with you. Ronald Reagan was the beginning of the end.

I was hitting 30 when he got elected, and I still remember how it was in 1980. Our parents and grandparents were the ones who put Reagan in office. Personally I didn't know anybody my age or younger who voted for him. But the things he did during his 8 years in the White House have affected everything and everyone of us for the rest of our lives.

was re-electing Jimmy Carter and America blew it on Raygun.

I knew we were doomed the day he was elected.

...to happen to the USA. His feeble mind and avuncular style propped up my monied cons were the absolute worst. Name a problem of today and many can be directly linked to the old nuts demented reign of errors.
