if you assume any problem is Regan’s fault you’ll be right more times than your wrong
Can you tell this to my ex?
(Reagan is the dipshit asshole she left me for.)
Hate to break it to you, but your ex has a pretty bad reputation…
Not gonna disagree there, these days. You have no idea.
edit: things were great, she was great. then they weren’t. Reagan was the jackass she was banging. tale as old as time.
Well, dames seem to go for them actors!
Hey, sometimes it is also Nixon’s fault
Just a reminder, Reagan was the face for these terrible decisions. All of the actual thinking came from conservative think tanks, like The Heritage Foundation. Trump uses the same think tank to give him policy. Project 2025 is Heritage’s baby.
Yep, the cartoon villains that think these things up use cartoon logic. How do we trick people into voting for us? We hire professional actors and front men. Hit them with branding and sell them on the idea of, “you can be rich like us if only you vote for us.” When they don’t deliver, well it was the oppositions fault, you just need to vote for us harder!
I could, today, write a new American classic called, “Check the voting records.” It would be an upbeat jaunt but end with the protagonist under a streetlight sobbing as he stomps his hat into the ground.
He’s hands down the worst president (before the orange dumb shit). His policies destroyed so much of America.
Remember, kids. Reagan loved small town values, which is why he moved to Hollywood.
He believed in the family, which is why he dumped the mother of his children for a hot blonde trophy wife.
He believed in the Christian church, which is why he consulted an astrologer for his major decisions.
He hated illegal drugs, which is why he signed off on the biggest cocaine smuggling operation in history.
Oh yeah, he was a fink for the FBI while he was head of the Screen Actors Guild.
The systems of oppression we face were established long before he was president (or even born), and while he was an enthusiastic enforcer and beneficiary of them, and a complete piece of shit, to pretend that he is the single source of all our problems isn’t only wilfully ignorant, it’s also massively counterproductive since it shifts focus away from the fact that we face systemic problems that only systemic solutions (rather than just changing the clown who heads the circus) can resolve.
Of course not, but he represented a huge change in the face of it. Before there was an attempt to keep it in the shadows and publicly at least, act good.
But they were all of them deceived, for another political dogma was made. In the land of Washington in the fires of K Street, the Dark Lord Reagan forged, in secret, a master dogma to control all others. And into this dogma he poured his tax cuts, his deregulation and his will to transfer all wealth from the Many to the Few. One dogma to rule them all.
But something happened raegan did not foresee, there was no trickle down economics.
There was never intended to be…
Until one day, decades later, a small band of unlikely heroes shall find the secret, precious Dogma ring… and cast it into the fire!
He would be the face of corrupt politicians from the “old world” if climate change hasn’t doomed us all.
