I hate that Reagan is supposed to be the benchmark here. That motherfucker set us on this path all those years ago by abandoning the great society view; there's so much that's fucked in the US today that can be traced back to him. The only thing I'll ever give him good credit for is his opposition to nuclear weapons.
Your path was set looooong before Reagan.
The founding of our country required a compromise that counted slaves as Three-Fifths of a person, just so that the conservative South could get greater representation in the House.
Those slaves, of course, would enjoy the protections and security that the Constitution offered as a result!
J/k they were fucked both literally and figuratively.
