Raygun was an amiable dunce, who fucked this nation over.
One thing he did that was cool, was arms control with the soviets. I give him a high five for that because he did it over the objection of the rightwingers.
Other than that, raygun was a freaking asshole. Reagan opened your party's door to being dominated by the religious freaks, and to the dixiecrat racists. He transformed the republican party from being a respectable center-right party, into a party controlled by theocrats. Good job ronnie.
What the fuck else did he do? Ran up record deficts, was hostile to the gay and black commuities, engaged in coded race baiting, gave tax cuts to people who didn't need them, destroyed unions, enabled illegal immigration on a scale never seen before, and ushered the absolutely foolhardy and assholish mythology of deregulation. What a fucking joke. It took us 30 years to see what a fool reagan was with his fantasies about unfettered free markets.
Deregulation.. How'd that work out for you.
