MODERATORS
Regain (and Nancy x100) were both racist bigots, but Trump (and Vance will be if it gets him attention) are fascist wannabe dictators that have plans of dismantling the whole government, healthcare, and education systems in the US. They have plans to help further the Rights push for voter suppression and ways to cheat (and/or exploiting loopholes without shame).
So Nancy might have shaped dementia Regains policies for the worst, and Bush Sr. may have committed all sorts of crimes against humanity using the CIA, but Trump plans to run us into the ground and sell the scrap to whatever dictator says the nicest things to him.
And Vance may be even more dangerous in that he will have zero control of his party, and will changeling into whatever he's told to be by whoever will let him be "President". He would sell his family for fame "or whatever makes sense" in his void of emotion brain.
All things Reagan also worked towards...
It's the same thing, we just find out about it faster now than we used to. And the country was starting out in a better place when Reagan had his turn as far as regulations to prevent it.
So things will suck, but it's nothing new. That doesn't mean give up, it means keep fighting and plan to keep fighting for as long as we're alive even if a Dem is president in 2028, don't get complacent. Because both parties have spent the time since Reagan deregulating shit like campaign finance, which has allowed the wealthy to tighten their grip on both parties
The only thing that Reagan worked towards was the jar of jelly beans in the Oval Office. He was an actor and the last three years his mind was gone to Alzheimer's.
Now if your meaning Reagan as you in his apparatus that actually made all the decisions then yes you are correct.
How is that different than trump again?
Pretty much the same I guess. It really is the people behind Trump making these policy decisions not Trump himself.
