Always upvote Fuck Reagan posts!

Him and Margaret Thatcher destroyed their own countries within the same era. A pair of cunts.

Suspension of Glass-Stegahl allows the 1% to gamble with ALL bank money.

If you just assume that Ronald Reagan is the cause of any bad thing you encounter in life, 1/2
sowasvonsowas
you’ll be right way more often than you’ll be wrong. 2/2
TheUneasyBoosh
Just a reminder nobody has fixed it since.

Nobody.... not one.
pmMeYourNeck
All these graphs nose dive right before Reagan. Around 71. I think Nixon is just as much of not more to blame than monkeyboy
saganworshipper
Always and forever. Read an honest biography about him. He was incredibly uneducated. He didn't understand how a vacuum worked.
sowasvonsowas
His actor-peers all said he was as dumb as a bag of hammers.
Hovencloof
Reagan fooled most of the voters all of the time.

YOU HAVE 1.6 MILLION FUCKING PEOPLE IN JAIL!?!?!

owning a prison is a big ol government tit
postmalarkey
Tbf that number has actually come down a little to *only* 1.2 million or so ? but yeah still absurdly high
MarcAdams80
And yet Reagan is only the third-worst US President of my lifetime. God, Republicans suck.

Not just Reagan but the whole ideology he represents

Yea, this lobbied idea of privatisation was happening all over the west. Didn't people stop Rockefeller? Back then people knew...

Yeah Fuck Reagan. But #1 and #4 say Fuck Clinton too
MajMalfunction2
Almost like the war on drugs was intended to incarcerate a portion of the population for profit.
JoshuaFalken
Don't forget the slave labor!
MadCat221
Almost like the 13th Amendment didn't abolish slavery, but codified it with the Criminal Punishment clause via Perverse Incentive.

Boomers were getting grownup jobs, and taxed like their parents. “Oh No! Save me Ronny RayGun!!”

So basically the last time we ran stuff like this was right before the Great Depression?

Reagan the robber, last of his infame
PicassoCT
Also it started around 1973. In some forgotten secret agency analysis room, realizing the sovjet union was a propaganda paper tiger.
PicassoCT
All good things happening up to that, were at socialism gun point.
AdventureBat
It's almost as if electing an actor to the highest position in the country allowed his controllers to make self-interested decisions.
michiyl
I don't think this has to do with being an actor, just with being an non-compassionate human being.
usernameusedinlessplatforms2
I guess it should be a comedian if u do that.
TheFluby
As a non american i‘m amazed at how much current bullshit can be linked back to Reagan!
unluckyandbored
Almost 100% of America's problems since WWII can be traced directly to GOP leadership.
sowasvonsowas
It was the beginning of the end. Nixon caused loss of trust in govt. Ray-Gun fucked us over (primarily financially) & the damage is ongoing.
jediknightswhosayni
And if it can't be traced back to Reagan, it can be traced back to Nixon. Those two have ruined America.

If only Hinckley was a better shot...
Sylphyyy
And yet even Democrat boomers speak well of him. If this describes you, you're a fucking moron.
javeragetreats
Going to have to disagree here. That's not at all what most boomers think of him. They knew trickle down economics was BS.
Sylphyyy
why don't you go ask a boomer in your life or 10 their opinion of him then
Sylphyyy
I wouldn't have this opinion if every 60+ I talked to about him didn't indignantly defend him, and this is in a painfully blue state.
postmalarkey
Okay but if that’s true then why did he win boomers by an absolute landslide in both of his elections?
usernameusedinlessplatforms2
Again, the propaganda effort was immense. Fucking 8 year old me in Finland knew how good guy Ronny was. ( mom hated his guts tho) .
usernameusedinlessplatforms2
But really, the media effort was big enough to carry over to non english speakears ears n eyes half a planet away.
postmalarkey
That’s fine, but that account even takes issue with the statement “they *knew* trickle down economics was BS” - they may know now, not then
Apeofdeath
Reagan should have gone to prison

maybe he did we still dont know with certainty what happens when you die

I wouldn't be opposed to digging him up and throwing him in prison now, tbh

He accomplished what he was "paid" for. *Mark Blyth https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oXK0Z-9ntEQ

And if the citizens do nothing, Trump accomplished what HE was paid for by Putin. Gonna leave that up to the same system that let R walk?

If he's not in hell when I get there, I'm going to be so mad

Ironically, you could say he did end up in a sort of prison

mmmm... elaborate?

JCDenton10
My best guess is that he's saying that Reagan's Alzheimer's was like a prison, of the mind.
TheYoungerChrisEvans
Shame he didn't have it in office. Might've forgotten what a huge piece of shit he was and actually helped the people.
Tomadzo
According to many reports, it is suspected he was suffering from it near the end of his term

I don't think we would have had Trump if we didn't have Raygun.

May he rot in piss.

Unfortunately, his evil legacy lives on in the Rep-con senate...
Curryfrenchfries
Unfortunately he is a result of waging war on voters allowing people like him to win that's why it continues.

The house he retired to had address of 666 but they petitioned city to change to 668 so nobody could find the devil.

Jesus was black, Ronald Regan was the devil and the government is lying to you about 9/11. Thank you .
TapiocaMartini
Jesus wasn't black he was a middle eastern carpenter with a Jewish frow, and a deep tan.
betamaxforever
I'm having trouble understanding why anyone says he was black. Is it to troll white Christian conservatives, or do people really believe it?
KilroyLichking
its a troll from the tv show the boondocks
