    Reagan was, just by the numbers, a much bigger terrorist than Osama bin Laden.

      By flooding poor neighborhoods with drugs and then throwing millions of Americans in prison over drugs, Reagan -- again, just by the numbers here -- killed more Americans and ruined more American lives than Covid

        Was that conscious to make the end sound like one of his phrases? "whereas the facts and evidence tell me it was not"

            Yeah exactly. Though it was a slightly different phrase he used.

            Though one thing I can tell, that Reagan and the speeches of his are so polished, it is counterintuitive to what we see today.

    Trump is the heir and logical culmination of Reagan, Nixon, Goldwater, and the conservative movement all of them shaped.

    Literally the only response these fucking hacks have to the culmination of everything they value and push for is "we have to go back to a idyllic mythologized past era". Theyre just fucking lying to themselves and to others and its infuriating.

    The moral high ground is when you fund right-wing terror groups that deploy mass rape to overthrow democratically elected governments because they threaten the business interests of the immensely powerful

    The solution to fire is more fire. Everyone knows this. We're gonna build the biggest fire. The best fire. Nobody has even seen a fire this big but folks we're gonna build it and Mexico is gonna pay for it

      return to the “compassionate conservatism” of Reagan

      lol wasn't that a dubya slogan? dumb motherfuckers

        I wouldn't be surprised if the Democrats consider Dubya a Democrat like Republicans do Kennedy.

          depends on the lib

          centrist libs that buy into the manufactured consent, probably

          but there are a ton of boomer libs that absolutely hate reagan and bush

            Good point, but the general environment among libs has shifted in favor of Reagan and especially Bush due to :cheeto-man:

              I think that's just media folks. My family's full of libs that detest those two but roll their eyes at best if I'm critical of even obvious ghouls like schumer or pelosi

      Nothing says compassion like letting HIV run rampant because it mostly kills "undesirables"

    Trump desertification is lethal to America, the solution? Reagan Deforestation. :-) I love being ideologically smart.

    Trump is basically Reagan on steroids. If he were still alive, he'd be cheering him and proud of his destruction of the federal government and all the neocons enriching themselves from the presidency.
