They're so far gone, they dont even have people like Reagan, anymore
I suspect that Hugghy was OK with Reagan
Reagan seemed like a good choice at the time. His acting skills were not lost on me as his "guy in the white hat" act appeared convincing. I should have looked closer at him but honestly I was not super political at the time and just voted republican because that's how my family had done as long as I could remember. I didn't even put much into the fact that he was a democrat and switched parties. You have to remember that information was more easily disguised and obscured back then. No cable...No internet.. Three major TV networks. I deeply regret voting for Reagan but what was the alternative? Trickle Down Economics was one of the biggest lies ever told to the American public. Reagan started the first main phase of destroying Americas middle class by his war on unions which was the only real defender of American industry.
PS: As it turned out Reagan was just a dupe and a typical Californian. For Christs sakes his wife Nancy was deep into astrology and had an influence on the presidency with that nonsense.
PPS: Reagan had great speech writers. All that crap about "Gorbachev TEAR DOWN THAT WALL" never came out of that simpletons brain. Reagan did know the power of a good line and made the most of the television camera.
