That man created so many problems,
The amount of harm caused by Reagan and specifically engineered to be possible after his time in office is immense. The man was a rat to his fellow actors, informing on suspected socialists and commies. He only got worse from there.
Wherever you look in history, the world’s most damaging decisions have all been made by conservatives. Conservatism is at the root of every major problem humanity faces.
It’s in the name, conservatism is the opposite of progressivism, progress is a natural state, nothing stays as is forever, the only way to stop progress is to go against nature.
“Change” is the natural state, and not all changes are “progress”.
Conservative used to be “want to take things slow to see which changes are good and which are bad”.
Stagnatives and Retrogrades should be separate categories.
US ‘democracy’ ist just fundamentally broken. All my life I’ve heard shit that dates back to Reagan, people always complain about it, yet neither party ever cared to fix things he broke. You guys really need more parties, but of course neither party is willing to change the system enough to make that viable since they’d give up power. That alone should call for mass protests.
Reagan helped destroy ‘The Fairness Doctrine.’ Back when there were only a limited number of TV and radio channels available for broadcast, the government had strict rules, One was that any time a station ran an editorial it had to provide equal time for a response. Another was that no one could own more than one TV station in an area.
Yeah that last bit would clip Sinclair’s wings a bit, but if we brought the Fairness Doctrine back in it’s old incarnation it wouldn’t cover cable or internet productions.
Yeah it’s my opinion that Regan was the worst president until Trump - worse than Nixon. He’s my pick for retroactive lead-based timeline correction.
Was Nixon a bad president? He wasnt a crook (allegedly) and made a boss Nass impression with his “Law and Orhrhrder” line.
/Foreigner who only know pop culture references to Watergate
He did sabotage the Paris peace accords which ultimately extended the Vietnam War by many years. Also, he created the HMO system that kept the US from having Universal Healthcare. He also authorized G Gordon Liddy to wire tap his Democrat opponent (very much making him a crook). So… yeah. Bad president.
Obligatory fuck Ronald Reagan
The more I read about this Reagan, the more it seems he was not fit to run as president, probably Trump did less damage to the country than him, and that’s a very low bar.
Regan came up with the strategic defense initiative after watching Star Wars and deciding that lasers could shoot down ballistic missiles.
He also got concerned about cyber security only after watching Wargames.
After watching Sneakers, he made a lot of his generals watch it too.
Bro let Hollywood dictate too much of his thinking.
