33. I remember the same things being said when Reagan was elected

In 1980 and 1984. Everyone at the university I was about to graduate from was sure we were headed for a global nuclear war.

:eyes:

"I don't think I've ever felt so personally, politically devastated in my life and that includes when Reagan won a second term of office - which was pretty devastating for me as I was so heavily involved in the anti-nuclear movement in those days.But this is worse, these people are much worse than the Reagan people," Caldicott adds.

Um, Helen? They're the same people as the Reagan people. We survived it in the '80s, and we'll survive it again.
