I& #39;m of the opinion that history will determine Reagan killed the GOP.
He made them hate their own government and normalized lying.

Don& #39;t believe me?
Reagan killed:
-the fairness doctrine
-antitrust law
-unions
-the social safety net
-trust in government
-separation of powers
-respect for poor folks
-bipartisanship
-fair taxation
-TRUTH
The list goes on, but most importantly he was a rabid racist to boot.

Think about this for a second: The Iran/Contra scandal.
The reason it was scandal is because Reagan ignored the duly passed laws of Congress regarding executive powers and war. He didn& #39;t think Congress should have the power to reign him in. He just ignored them.
Sound familiar?

There& #39;s also a direct line from Regan& #39;s "folksy demeanor" to the GOP base& #39;s infatuation with purposefully ignorant leaders like Sarah Palin & trump.
Reagan taught the GOP base to hate intellectuals.

As much as I hate asking this, if y& #39;all like my words and ideas here, we sure could use a little help surviving while my disability process is going. If anybody out there has a few bucks to help us keep the lights on it would be much appreciated.
