1. The Reagan administration is bullshit

Reagan was installed by HWBush & his CABAL. Reagan was already showing signs of mental deterioration the day he took office.
He was a pawn, no different than "W" was.

HWBush and his cronies were the ones doing everything that Reagan was credited with. Over 100 of HW's cronies were indicted for countless crimes, and on day one of his presidency, HW Pardoned every last one of them.
Eight years of him running things during Reagan's occupation of the White House, then four years of HW as president, then the same minions in his Cabal came back again during "W"'s eight years........

Hillary had it right: "The Republican party is a giant right wing conspiracy".............and if you remember, everyone, including Dems laughed at her.............

Actually, I thought she understated the situation.

Also, I've been around here long enough to remember discussion of the BFEE, the Bush Family Evil Empire.

4. It wasn't "Reagan" per se

It was HWBush & his CABAL, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, Pearle, etc etc etc

For Twenty of the last 40+ years....................

What HW didn't accomplish, Putin stepped in and in 2016 made sure his man Trump got into office and helped him and the Republican Party begin the destruction of the U.S. Economy, the U.S. Constitution, and Democracy.......

Putin brought down our nation, using Trump and Senate Republicans, without starting a war or firing a single rocket or missile..............and these so called new "Republican's" are hell bent on finishing the job..........with the help of the empowered Corporations, Republican Oligarchs, and Fascism...............

Hey everyone, they are one millimeter away from installing a Corporate Fascist Tyranny................

5. I always assumed that Reagan would forever remain the worst president of my lifetime.

That turned out to be wrong, thanks to the impossibly horrible trump. Still, Reagan set America on a downward spiral from which we still have not recovered. The epitome of republican failure and mismanagement.

9. Oligarchy and corporate supremacy really took off under Reagan as he

waged divide and conquer subliminal culture war as a necessary tactic to distract his base; who would go on to vote against their best interests.

After three+ decades of those wasteful policies and practices combined with supportive public conditioning by the corporate media it was only natural for Inflamed Hemorrhoid to come to power and remove any attempt at subliminal.

Thanks for the thread Quixote.
