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.

I will say, this is EXCELLENT for my "that'll show Dad" collection
I don't think I take your meaning
They are implying a collection of various items, memes or otherwise, that contain facts, comparisons, or perhaps even philosophical quandaries that may stump, refute, or put into question their father’s staunch right wing stance
Or they’re looking to prove their dad right that they collect good memes, 50/50 chance
He had the good decency to die as well.
Yes, but after he'd already done as much damage as he could, not when he received a personal invitation.
That motherfucker set us on this path all those years ago
Your path was set looooong before Reagan.
He popularized the anti-working class agenda among the masses.
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.
Reagan actively courted the Religious Right, which as everyone knows, was a bad idea for democracy.
Those fuckers do not compromise, because they want theocracy.
Now, the fact that there was a religious right in the first place is a whole other cn of worms.
If you wish you carve a path from scratch, first you must create the universe.
If anything, the New Deal and wealth accrued through rapid industrialization by becoming the world's number one weapons manufacturer while taking little to no infrastructural damage during WW2 seem like anomalies.
Imagine being compared to Ronald Reagan (The actor?!) and looking worse
Imagine being worse than Ronald regan
He's his sequel. When has a sequel ever been better?
Reportedly 22 Jump Street
Turns out it took someone becoming Hitler for someone to be worse.
And eouldn't you know it, the Heritage Foundation played a big part in both of them coming to power.
Trump is a symptom of the Reagan Revolution. A vulture come to feast on the carcass.
The compete societal capitulation to the whims of capitalism that was the Reagan/Welch revolution destroyed this nation, don't give Trump that much credit.
It just took the body awhile to hit the floor. I'd argue that was Citizens United.
He knows. Plain and simple.
He's only trying to feign his idea of plausible deniability.
I'm beginning to think we give him too much credit for being smart. He's actually pretty fucking dumb.
For some things maybe, but with his level of arrogance and self-centeredness, I would refuse to give him any "out" by claiming ignorance.
At this point he has pushed so hard and destroyed so much that I doubt he knows the amount of damage he's done, or if there will be a price to pay.
Both are awful
Apart from everything else, those three words alone should put him out of a job, but y'all are to fucking weak.
What's the context?
Not to imply that he's even fit to run a McDonad's.
Trump was asked if he was obligated to uphold the constitution. He responded by saying he didn't know, but he had very good lawyers.
Thank you
