Bingo! Anytime I hear someone praise him, I cringe. He was a bigoted, defender of the wealthy and put everything on the middle class's back. The only thing he trickled down was piss. He was garbage.

Exactly. I had him for a governor. He damned near destroyed California's middle class. He shut down institutions that helped the helpless and threw mental patients out on the street with no resources. A puppet was exactly what he was.
Just remember. Anytime you see some ridiculous policy pop up or some new law that you don't agree with that was signed into law by a Republican legislator?
Chances are that its Road began with Ronald Reagan.
It's a pretty damn good chance that we could go right back to his 1980s style America if the Orange Man is elected. But with the way things are going so far, I think that Harris has MORE than a fighting chance at getting this one. But don't hold your breath, because we won't know for a couple days.
Arms for hostages was only the surface crime.
He made a deal with Iran.
Don't deal with Carter and after he was elected, he'd give Iran whatever they wanted.
He is the one who started the downfall of the country!
He Destroyed
The mental health hospitals
The tax structure with his Trickle down BS
His News Fairness Rules
Just to name a few!
The Octopus Murders. Iran Contra Arms. To prevent Carter from accomplishing the hostage release. Denial of HIV/Aids. Crack cocaine to the streets.
Actor was a fraud
Everything you listed was Heritage Foundation projects that they gave Reagan and he pushed them through. Now they are back with Project 2025 destruction of the government and constitution.
From Heather Cox Richardson
Ronald Reagan set out to dismantle the active government that regulated business, provided a basic social safety net, promoted infrastructure and protected civil rights. Such a government was akin to socialism, he claimed, and he insisted it stifled American individualism
Sounds just like Trump. The ironic part is he got people who would be affected adversely to go along with his policies... just like Trump. Unbelievable.
Reagan won with 489 electoral votes to Carter's 49.
He got 525 in 1984. I was sad the first time as it was my first vote. I was terrified the second time since so many Americans bought into Reagan's policies that ended up screwing us all.
Yes! He and Trump have the same policies. All for the rich, nothing for the working middle and even less for the poor and elderly. Selfish self-absorbed assholes.
He was a "likeable" POS, but he was just a figurehead for the powers behind the curtain. He wasn't smart enough to think up that shit. He could barely present it, even with pictures
I lived in Houston during Reagan’s terms. There was a grassroots campaign called “Men With No Lips”. Kind of a take off that folks with thin lips are no good. Ronald Reagan, Caspar Weinberger, Donald Regan, James Baker.
He could tell a joke and people were fooled by his charm. That is it. His legacy makes him the worst President in Generations. His administration was the most corrupt and most indicted until Trump. Reagan was an awful President.
Here is a really interesting link to how historians rank our Presidents. There is a veritable fountain of information there.
It may come as a surprise to many that Reagan is in the top ten. The next rankings will come out in 2025. https://www.c-span.org/presidentsurvey2021/?page=overall
When he was named the R candidate, the joke from Laugh In years earlier when he was governor of California, looked somewhat of a prophecy. He was The imbecile long before the one running against Kamala.
I never got the “Great Communicator” tag? I thought he didn’t sound very bright and had a tone like he was talking to a room full of kindergartners. Personally insulted.
IMO He and that English bitch with their trickle down crap decimated the public good in both countries. The hospital I worked in changed their mission statement to put the economy above patient care and healthcare workers for the first time in history. I quit

I despise him.
I used to think it was kind of cute that he called her mommy, until I found out that she was a human suck pump. Then it turned perverse
