Look, I’m not going to venerate past GOP leaders who did immense harm and laid the groundwork for today’s party. But at least they weren’t outright traitors.

As a child, I remember Princess Diana, hugging and touching ppl very sick with AIDS. I generally detest monarchy, but she was fearless with her humanity in a time wracked with fear & ignorance. She stands forever in my mind in stark contrast to the religious Right.
I couldn’t stand Ronnie Reagan. His failed trickle-down economic and tax breaks for millionaires led to a recession and the 1980s “ Greed is good” mantra. Remember Nancy’s “Just say no”campaign? That’s about as far as the Reagan’s went when it came to public dealings with HIV/AIDS.
I won’t forget his lack of concern for those with HIV/AIDS. Those were truly appalling times (I lost many of my chosen family in New Orleans back then). Reagan’s response was pretty close to Trump’s response to COVID
I cared for some of the first pediatric patients with HIV and AIDS in DC in the 80s. He was a monster who deserves no credit for not selling out to the devil. It was a calculated move with no concern for his fellow humans.
Um. Let's face the brutal fact that the GOP started its downward spiral with Nixon. Yeah, they impeached him, but then Klutzy Gerry made sure he didn't face criminal charges that he most definitely should have faced. Set a lot of precedent for someone that gamed the F*CK out of the court system.
Reagan literally passed Hun control legislation with NRA's backing to decrease black gun ownership and police accountability. He was absolutely a traitor. Too bad he didn't die young.
The HF had a version of P2025 for Reagan, who adopted over 60% of it in his first year and liked it so much he had it bound and given to his Cabinet. The GOP has been fucking us over for nearly a half century. There's nothing good about the GOP.
Reagan was a union busting piece of shit who started the shitball rolling for the oligarchs. He was basically the trial cult of personality old white man figurehead with ties to the Christian right. He definitely was a traitor.

This one has gladly playing along with any oligarch willing to throw support his way while saving his real attention for the Kremlin -
His actions are screaming at us, and most refuse to listen
I met him several times . . First time was 1967 when I was 6 . .
I'll spare you my AIDS perspective, other than to say "yeah I know . . I was literally at Ground Zero in SoCal"
Trickle Down Economics is how it's always been, it's literally the default operation of all markets
