i just discovered my dad's collection of Reagan tapes. he has every single video of Reagan as POTUS on VHS. i'll quote the best parts on this thread

[basquebromance]

at the 1976 GOP convention, Reagan was speaking and my dad was watching, he said: "what party is this guy aligned with", mom said: "Republican", dad said: "then i want to be a Republican". my dad died in 1989, i was born in 1988

Reagan was an End Boss. He'd put America in the unchallenged pole position again if he were president today and civil liberties/human rights would be non-negotiable.

lol John Hinckley was obsessed with Jodie Foster, not Reagan. he was gonna assasinate someone else at first, in fact (Ford or Nixon i think)

a failed but decent attempt at a joke!
