I can't remember the last election that didn't have some GOP CEO gently caress talking about how he was going to run the US like a business and in the business world when something doesn't work you simply blah blah blah

This is happening in Australia where the Liberal (read libertarian) government are trying to sell off public assets and systems like health, education, social security and national broadcasting.

Yeah the whole twitter thread is a hilarious honeypot of people trying to justify why lolicon isn't pedophilia

actually yes because every dem president after reagen has been a reagen era republican the overton window is so far to the right that republicans from the early 80s are now in line w/ democrats.

lets also not forget that obama pussied out on single payer and caved to the insurance lobby. his original plan was actually good and his stupid need to compromise and his weak spine got us what we have now.

More like 30 C. We're not Phoenix. But it's pretty humid and there are thunderstorms a lot of afternoons. Also drought conditions in the city mean the parks don't really do big events in the summer, like Pride is in October here, so you'd have to go outside the city...I got it!

People who still idolize Reagan are the ones using racial slurs in their day to day language and insisting they're not racist. It could be a recording of Reagan saying "I'm a big fat racist" and it wouldn't change their opinion of him, except possibly for the better.

The American right's deification of Reagan is very weird to me.

As I remember it, (as a youngster living in the wilds of Not-America at the time), he was an alzheimers ridden ex-actor warmonger who called his wife "mommy" and took advice from her psychics and astrologers on matters of national and international importance, all whilst his finger hovered over the nuclear button.

Not to mention he classified ketchup as a vegetable to save money in schools, his reaction to kids dying of drug overdoses was "just say no", his reaction to gay men dying of AIDS was "haha", and worst of all, motherfucker was friends with Maggie "loving" Thatcher.

Surely there are other conservative Presidents to like?

Well it's either Nixon or nobody, so they picked Reagan and are gaslighting themselves into believing he's good despite his disastrous administration that is the genesis of our current hellscape. Eisenhower wouldn't be a Republican today. The GOP president before him was uh Hoover so

there aren't really, not within living memory. the last arguably conservative president who was decent was eisenhower. reagan was beloved because he was part of a rising backlash against democrat/left control of government in the 1960s and 70s. reagan positioned himself as the reasonable daddy who could tame the childish liberals. he's very much a watered down, non-deranged version of trump in that his biggest appeal to the chud set is that he triggers the libs

people dislike nixon because he is extremely dislikeable and then bush who? which one? never heard of them

I wonder, too, how much of it is the general adulation of the 80s as a decade these days. "The 80s were awesome" + "Reagan was President in the 80s" = "Reagan was awesome".

It's the West Wing thing where both sides have to have something good and noble about them. The right went hard on remaking Reagan into one of the greats, and the left just kind of went along with it because to do otherwise would be unreasonable and partisan. It took me learning about the AIDS Crises to realize Reagan was absolute garbage.
