Or it's capitalism ratcheting toward fascism as all oligarchy does
Capitalism IS oligarchy by design
The political system has been ratcheting to the right for many decades as the capitalist class gains more wealth and power to control the political system
Yeah reagan didn't bring good times. He was the 1st weak elected potus (as an actor he put on a strong man schtick that fooled the US but not those watching from outside) and his trickle down garbage and freezing minimum wage crap ended the good times allowing the dark times in
Reagan is in the wrong category. He was a spineless coward who killed millions of Americans, including lifelong friend and American Icon Rock Hudson, because he was too afraid of Evangelicals.
His economic policies also put us on our current decline. Fuck Reagan. He was the Trump of the 80s.
Reagan should not be on that list. He started all of this and laid out the blueprint for keeping min wage low, attacking unions, and giving the 1% tax breaks running up the deficit so they could consolidate more power.
WTF - reagan? Maybe a strong man as a union buster and allowing for the disinformation in msm with the elimination of the fairness doctrine? Otherwise, a c-list actor whose presidency was as corrupt & dishonest as nixon's
The Manchurian candidate has paid his handler’s well for their propaganda that brought him back to power. And crashing the economy, destroying our security, health, and education will allow the Uber Rich to pick off assets cheap.
Tariffs break alliances, grift companies.
Uhmn,…not for nothing, but cultural warrior Reagan,the slyest of racists, is Nixon’s son.
The Bushes his grandsons and Trump is his GREATgrandson!
That’s just basic GOP genealogy.
Sad.
Once upon a time the EU migrants(Cowboys) annihilated millions of native Americans & stole their cattle & gold .. in the scientific & civilized era the descendants became international burglars plundering natural resources and wealth of the poor helpless nations by the name of human rights defense 🤠
The rich gangsters controlling everything by highest commanding posts & they're the legislatures & law makers which based on dictatorship injustice exploitation and enslavement so they don't accept from the slaves to criticize their inhumane unjust & kleptocratic policies. so stand up for revolution
I most definitely wouldn't have Reagan I this caption and mod definitely in the same bracket as Abe and MLK. Reaganomics was the start of the massive decline of the middle income in the US. Trickle down economy 😂. He slashed the top tax rate bracket from 70% to 28%. There's where the decline started
Stealing the election (making a deal with Iran to hold American hostages). Iran-contra affair, illegal wars and supporting terrorism in Central/South America. Supported Apartheid in South Africa. Was a racist. Lack of response to AIDS, etc.
Indigenous person here, where are our strong men, Crazy Horse, Sitting Bull, Chief Joseph, Manuelito, Geronimo any one of them, we are still here. I agree with a couple of the ones you posted.

Really?
Reagan started this crap.

I was so overwhelmed by the cheap gas.
Then he gave us government cheese, crack, and busted unions.
You are correct and I was wrong!

A society where people can pursue underwater basket weaving degrees is a society that is already comfortable kicking your ass.
He negotiated the release of the American hostages. Plus released gas.
Then he gave us government cheese, crack, and busted unions
I lived in the 70’s with a big ass car and no gas.
Crack, government cheese, and union-busting
He started the problem

Making America Goofy (as shit) Again!

However, we had no gas for our gas-guzzler cars. The release of the American hostages.
FUCK Reagan!
We are going to ask Joe the artist to fix this!!
We got cheap gas! Then came government cheese, crack, and union busting.
