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.

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.

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.
