This is the natural progression from Reagan tho.
First, some of you seem to be missing the word "unfortunately" in my comments and in my defense I was young and raised that way. Second, social policy wise yes but am I/others not allowed to learn, grow, and change? It is not a natural progression just a likely one, again unfortunately. Third, sucking Russia's dick and selling US intelligence? Fully bonkers. Opposite of natural in my personal opinion.
I wasn’t dunking on you once being a Reagan republican, my comment was towards your statement of “the GOP acting like this is blowing my mind.” And yes, we are allowed to learn and grow. That is a good thing that should happen. But, and we’re going to disagree here, it is definitely the natural progression. The southern strategy gave us so much craptastic politics, but number one in that is courting the lowest denominator in the hateful south. Breeding that throughout the party and filling it with the cocaine fueled parties of the ‘70s and ‘80s. This is the shit that created Limbah, Gingrich and the rest. The Koch family had been feeding and fomenting everything wrong with where we are before Reagan and still use Nixon and Reagan to this day as starting points for enshittification of our country. As a kid when Reagan was elected and an “adult” when he left office, I could tell where this bs was going. When you court people based on their worst qualities, you can only go down from there.
Zero disagreement. I think you're using "natural" where I would use "intended." Cheers.
Cheers back.
Upvoted for having an adult conversation.
Right? Reagan was just as petulant and vindictive. He happened to have an absolutely perfect enemy in "the communists" and riled enough people up to stay in office for 8 years. We can be thankful that, so far, Trump has just been far, far stupider than Reagan when it comes to committing crimes.
