I’ll leave you with 4 words: “I’m glad Reagan dead.”

Here’s hoping his ideas die too

Tbf, he was mostly a figurehead, he was to stupid to think up most of that shit himself. Not that he isn't evil, just not an evil genius.

Ronald Reagan is when they figured out how to do the Wilson trick in the era of live television. George W. Bush was the next useful idiot and Trump followed.
