Was that before or after the treasonous conspiring with Iran?

Reagan teamed up with Evangelical Preacher Jerry Fallwell Sr to smear President Carter's good name. Carter was the real Christian in the White House.

Yes, but Reagan screwed over Carter with the hostage crisis by backdoor dealing with Iran so Reagan could take the credit. F*** Dutch.

Regardless of your thoughts on Ronald Reagan and his Presidency, the man showed class and was effective on many levels.

vector-ze.bsky.social•66 days ago

Yes, effective at destroying the middle class.
He also was very effective when attacking environmental regulations and instrumental in the very successful Dumbing Down of America initiative.

Appreciate your opinion

Not everything is an opinion.

He was okay at reading lines other people wrote. Unlike Trump.

caper55.bsky.social•66 days ago

As he took credit for Carters accomplishment. Sorry, Reagan was a piece.

And then Reagan set about destroying everything that gave the average person access to the American Dream. He & his ilk made sure no other honest, regular, unbought person like Carter got near the presidency again without making devil deals with corporate America like NAFTA #MorningJoe

Ronnie and his good ol’ American exceptionalism bullshit, appealing to white racists by launching his campaign in Philadelphia, Mississippi is no different than what the orange clown has done. Same story over and over and white people just fall in line because it has ALWAYS been about race.

Also Ronald Reagan - hey, Iran...can you hang onto those hostages till after November?

The media consistently did Carter dirty.
Remember the infamous “malaise” speech Carter NEVER made?

Forgot the full quote, “And super sorry about coordinating with our enemies to win the election.”

... Bill likes that part, so he edited it out.

...again.

Meh. Political puffery.
Reagan set us on the downward spiral that led us to GWB, and then DJT. Neither of them would've been president without the destructive power of Reagan.
