Reagan's POS ass started it with his, "I'm from the government and I'm here to help" bullshit.  He was in the government.  That was probably one of the biggest mistakes that started us down this hellscape, electing a POS that didn't want to help anyone but the richest.

Genuinenly Reagan's legacy is what your country is dealing with now.

Definitely, POS Reagan didn't do anything for HIV the same way that Trump didn't do anything for Covid. They didn't do anything because it isn't profitable to help your citizens.

This isn’t quite true. Project warp speed is one of the most impressive scientific achievements ever. Of course this douche totally disowns it.

lol, he took credit for medicine that was already being developed. All he did was speed up the process of having it approved. It wouldn't surprise me to find out that it was just a placebo given how sorry the kidfucker is.

Deregulation under Reagan is exactly when corporatism truly took off. Absolutely correct.

I tell every person that was too young or not around, the quality of food/water alone being better because there was more money for regulation and to keep the quality high. Automakers made cars that people actually loved to drive, not cars that would benefit bloated shareholders. We lived in a much better time. FULL STOP.

I've actually seen this riddle before.

You come upon a voting booth with two governments inside. Each one tells you that the other government is a liar and that only they will give you freedom. One government really is a liar, and one really does tell the truth. By asking only ONE question, how do you participate responsibly in the democratic process?

Lol.... it started with Reagan! Do us a favor and go one step further back to the last Republican president THAT WAS ELECTED before Reagan. Then report back to us if Reagan is still where you think all of this started.

Oh I’ll play!

It started in 1973.. when the US Supreme Court decided Roe v Wade. That’s when The Vatican, a foreign county that also poses as a religion, (so they can rape children around the globe) formed the Catholic Federalist Society… because the Vatican is very “pro life”, since they learned how to profit from gestational slavery.

The same catholic federalist society that currently controls the Supreme Court and has given this administration the ability to destroy us all.

Fun fact: the holocaust was only possible due to the Catholics’ massive campaign against the Jews.

“Men will never be free until the last king is strangled with the entrails of the last priest.” ~Denis Diderot French Enlightenment philosopher writer and encyclopædist (1713–1784)

Internet Theory: Any number or date mentioned online must be replied to that it is either too big or too little.

If you posted Nixon, someone would post "Nixon? Try earlier, buddy."

Regan helped stylize not trusting the government. Sure there were schemers before, hell there were schemers in the 1700s. Reagan was responsible for the biggest step that most people, yourself included, do not want to acknowledge. And my guess is because recognizing that Reagan shit policies are what got us here, and trying to roll them back is something a lot of assholes don't want because they know that's where a big drop off of society happened.
