Unfortunately, taking away federal funds from the Mental Health providers, was not on the cartoon. Many people are not aware, he caused the homelessness crisis we have been dealing with for over 40years.
Not only did the closing of mental health inpatient facilities cause the homeless crisis, it impacted healthcare as mental health patients burdened hospital emergency rooms, police departments diverted resources from law enforcement to chasing down psychiatric patients, and GOP budget cuts cost more
The New Deal did one thing more than it did anything else. It put the people to work. Reaganomics in the form of privatization took 13 US billionaires & just shy of a trillion dollar National Debt & 45 years later 800 US billionaires & a 36 trillion dollar National Debt.
Everything aweful in this country right now has its roots in the Reagan Adminstration. The evolution of the GOP isn't that hard to track. It began with Reagan and the country will end with Trump and President Musk
And yet most people would sacrifice at least once child if that would bring Reagan back.
Yes, he fucked up a lot of things (actually continuing what Nixon had begun) but he also did some awesome good things during his tenure, like ending the Soviet Union.
My childhood. The air, the water, the station wagon, appliances, and carpets were brown. Everyone's car had rust. Gutters were filled with cigarette butts. Parks filled with fastfood trash. My evangelical father laughing while singing a Barbara Ann parody.
I grew up never seeing a bald eagle, falcon, osprey, or pelican. It has taken 50 years of relentless, government-led environmental action/regulation to bring these majestic animals back from the brink of extinction! Republicans call it “waste”. Ronnie couldn’t kill it because he never had a trifecta
Reagan knew who the enemy was though. And deregulation a bloated government is the essence of being a libertarian (note the difference from being a liberal), but it has to be done correctly and with great care of course. The government should be small but strong.
He defeated the Soviet Union, the largest threat to the free world that ever existed and that's a fact. Also, please do a survey of all politicians in power, in the past and present in both parties who avoided a draft...
Giving Reagan sole credit discounts decades of activism and sacrifice of people behind the Iron Curtain. They were instrumental in weakening Communism's grip.
No he didn’t. He just happened to be president. The USSR was imploding before Reagan. The economic model changed but the same people remained in power. They simply didn’t have to pretend to be poor any more
This was the beginning of the decline of things like infrastructure for one. Instead of redistribution of vast wealth it was up to local and state authorities to maintain bridges, roads etc without federal funding. Now the wealthy are wealthier and care even less about those that aren't.
Except for the nuclear energy portion. It was a huge mistake to move away from nuclear when it is presently the best bridge between fossil fuels to renewables.
When the last thing we notice is the color of skin
And the first thing we look for is the beauty within
When the sky in the ocean are green and grey
Then We shall be free
Yes this was the beginning. Regan is spoken of with reverence and yet he set us on the path that brought us here. I am so fucking sick of these republicans
The Republican Party Always Was A Clear And Present Danger To democracy And The Constitution. Since Reagan Was A Dems Against Medicare. He Switched To The Republican Party In 1972 Along With The Violent Political Wing Of Dems. The Dixiecrats And Like Storm Thurmond And Jesse Helms Over Civil Rights‼️
Reagan Policies Were Based On Racism And Division. His Campaign Against “Welfare Queens” Black Women On Welfare And Living In Luxury. When In Reality Black People DIDN’T GET ACCESS TO ANY SOCIAL PROGRAM UNTIL AFTER THE CIVIL RIGHTS ACT PASSED. And That Didn’t Happen Until 1967.
Reagan Ran In 1980 Just 13 Years After Blacks Gained Access To Social Programs. He And The Republicans Have Run Similar Racist Campaigns To Lie About Black People Are Lazy And Live On The Government Dole. Republican Voters Have Been Voting Against Their Own Interest Since 1972. For White Supremacy‼️
Ronald Regan was a statesman and a gentleman compared to Trump. It would never have entered his mind to sell out American interests to foreign despots. One could argue over his economic policies, but one cannot question his adherence to the United States Constitution. Your analogy is not valid.
Reagan ended the fairness doctrine, a move that gave us Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, and the firehose of disinformation spewed by the right to manipulate ignorant people and cheat in elections. He was patently evil.
All politicians talk and talk. Promise you if elected blah blah blah Then go kiss the ass of the wealthy. The https://pslweb.org is only about actually proactively fighting the good fight in the trenches with the people & for mother earth. They are good people Unlike our government
Well thankfully it has yet to reach pigs again at least. Thankfully due to the surprising similarities [biologically speaking] pigs have with humans, which has previously caused the out break to rapidly spread to humans
Ronald Reagan destroyed America. The War on Drugs (aka Slavery), normalizing Corporate money in politics (aka Legalized Bribery), giving power to lovey Religious Right in America politics, and he took the ladder that middle class American’s used to become well off & happy…and burnt it. 🇺🇸
He’s the one that screwed us. First thing I’d do is over rule his amendment for taxing SS and the tax code he did. How? He had Alzheimer’s when in office.

RONALD REAGAN
FUCK OFF REPUBLICANS YOU CREATED THIS FUCKING MESS STARTING WITH NIXON IN 71.
FLY YOUR FLAGS UPSIDE DOWN.....JOIN THE RESISTANCE.
AND IF YOU DONT OWN ONE.
BY GOD YOU FUCKING BETTER NOW.
They all became necessary because of past exploitation which would return if the protections were ever removed.
Every regulation is written in blood.
The only “American people” they care about are wealthy Americans- their donors.
Think about that whenever you hear a Republican say those words.
His legacy is the blood of countless people killed by his racist, bigoted, and anti-consumer rhetoric and laws
His silence on AIDs was intentional and his hatred of welfare was emblematic of his hatred towards the lower class
A social murderer at best
Somehow we failed 😞

• Cats in the US carry bird flu.
• Because they eat poorly processed beef.
•From cows literally fed chicken excrement.
• Legally.
VOTE EVERY MAGA/GOP/Insurrectionist OUT OF OFFICE!!!
It needs updating.
Thanks for the reminder. It really is incumbent upon us to get out money out of the banks ASAP.
