Reagan is responsible for what the GOP has become. He is the one who started the push to give billionaires all of the power. He is the one who let religious extremists take hold of the GOP. FUCK Reagan. This only happened because of HIS actions.
Also Reagan’s repeal of the Fairness Doctrine in 1987 allowed news to become biased and less objective, paving the way for partisan media and contributing to the mess of today’s news.
Exactly. Another Trump but with more finesse because he was a trained actor. And the Republicans latched on to him as their "spokes model". He was as brain-addled as Trump at the end.
FYI he was never a “trained” actor. Just a guy lucky enough to fall into it and make a living at it. He was a sports broadcaster, and someone gave him some screen tests.
There were training schools, programs, and legendary teachers at the time, but he worked with none of them.
Agree to disagree. He made it possible for Murdoch to create the fake news media that has poisoned this country. He destroyed the middle class. He brought religion into politics….. he enabled the radical right to be what they are now by his policies.
And here’s the thing. I respect that opinion and know many people hold it. I know it’s based on interpretation of his policies. You and I could sit and have a rational discussion about it and I bet neither one of us would resort to name calling. 💙
Exactly. Healthy dialog and debate is a positive step. Being rude and degrading because you don’t share the same opinion shows you have a lack of ability to expand your mind and the narcissistic tendencies to believe only you are correct.
♥️👍🏻
I also have the advantage of living it and then seeing it in retrospect. Read the rest of what I said. I explained a bit…superficially sure…I am limited here.
Reagan was a fuckad of the president that started the downfall of this country of which Trump is a culmination. No way you are going to sanewash out of this.
I am not trying to, but as someone who has lived through both eras in history, that one was far preferable to this. Trickle down is a disaster and the beginning of late stage capitalism but we have known that for decades. I just wonder why there hasn’t been a stop to it. It’s been almost 50 years.
My only point here is only that in terms of foreign policy Reagan would never have sided with an authoritarian dictator. He almost bankrupted us in a nuclear race AGAINST Russia and therein lies the irony.
I agree with you on that. I meant Reagan put in play the fact that we could even get a “Trump” in office not that he would have sided with Putin. See we do agree! 👍🏻 🙂
I live in rural Europe and have an education from public schools. Even we know this started with the folks who got that føkker elected. Reagan presidency paved the way for the kleptocracy we see today.
Zelenskyy Is a HERO
Trump is an asshole full of shit & Putin ASSET (Bitch)
JD Vance, Rubio & Lindsey Graham are Traitors & spineless. Republican Wakeup and Impeach Trump!
It’s an aside to the felon’s embarrassing, servile treatment of an elected president and war hero but — why is his tie so damn long? And same with his whiny VP???
Just because the orange-haired moron orangutan f*** wants to be on Putin inside that does not mean we do. What we do need is every elected Democrat on the street. We need every elected representative on the news. We need everybody making noise every minute of the day. This is how they roll we do now
Republicans covering his eyes?! More like giving him binoculars as he watches with a giant grin on his face.
Someone correct that cartoon, please! 🤦🏻♀️
Yes, but that's not what he wanted America to be. And this is in no way a defense of Reagan. Horrible human and so many policies are a direct result of the mess we're in now.
Why is the elephant covering Reagan’s eyes? I’m confused. When you think about it he’s rather Targaryen after all: both men are his kids so a romance between both of his inheritors would be something he’d be smiling upon.
Not so sure I agree. Regan started this BS with his trickle down economics and changing the tax roles to We The People paying the majority of taxes instead of businesses paying the major.
It is impossible to explain to people how many things reagan completely fucked up in this country. The current iteration of the gop and their insane mindset began with him.
He’s the one that signed the law “allowing” Congress to “borrow” from the SS fund. Prior to that the fund could only be used to pay SS and SSDI. It was solvent. He made it the Ponzi scheme that it has become. That law needs to be repealed!
The Reagan administration undermined unions across the country, destroyed our mental healthcare system, and illegally sold weapons to Iran and used the proceeds to fund Contra rebels in Nicaragua.
Stop pretending he was anything other than a puppet for the military industrial complex and a bozo.
Fuck Reagan. Getting in bed with the evangelicals and NRA gun nuts led to this. Dig him up and grind his bones to dust beneath the wheels of a cyber truck, if that stupid, useless thing can manage it.
After Donald Trump and J.D. Vance’s recent diplomatic debacle with Volodymyr Zelenskyy, I thought it might be helpful to contrast the current administration’s approach with that of President Jimmy Carter:
Reagan was trump in a better suit and a nicer way of speaking. Same end goals though, ruin life for as many Americans as possible and kiss the feet of the wealthy
The Republican Party of the 1980s are not the MAGA Party of today. The Cold War was giving the Russians a run for their money. Today’s party is all about the money no matter who pays!
That's absurd. We didn't bring democracy to a single European nation. Even Germany ended up getting the short end of the stick after WW2. We aren't the heroes your history books claim.

It’s an informative documentary about the the truth of RR
But nice cartoon. 😆
But deception is fascism’s art form, warping reality until up is down, wrong is right. The crowd cheers, eyes glassy.
What is truth? No need to ask—fascism will decide for you...
There were training schools, programs, and legendary teachers at the time, but he worked with none of them.
Rightist voters love tall white guys.
Regardless of how empty their heads always are.
♥️👍🏻
thats exactly whats wrong with our current democratic leaderhip
this sort of thinking leads to liz cheney pretending to save democracy and i reject it OUT OF HAND
u sound like the bluesky version of joe manchin
Trump is an asshole full of shit & Putin ASSET (Bitch)
JD Vance, Rubio & Lindsey Graham are Traitors & spineless. Republican Wakeup and Impeach Trump!
Putin is spent, he is begging for cannon fodder and ammunition from other dictators.
He is weak and wants to keep what he's stolen and to rebuild, just like every invasion he's done, that's NOT peace and the US should NOT provide it!
Just sayin'
Someone correct that cartoon, please! 🤦🏻♀️
Putin's Russia is exactly what Reagan wanted it to be, and what Clinton, the IMF, and Yeltsin set it up to be.
Nothing new here.
Stop pretending he was anything other than a puppet for the military industrial complex and a bozo.
Fuck Regan.
But, also keeping this to throw at true believer Republicans. The apologists who don't like Trump but had to win because "SoCiAliSm"
President Trickledown 🖕🏽
It is the absence of an Amendment of Doctrinal Journalistic Fairness and Truthfulness that allowed Faux News to become what it is.
