Just a reminder, Reagan was the face for these terrible decisions. All of the actual thinking came from conservative think tanks, like The Heritage Foundation. Trump uses the same think tank to give him policy. Project 2025 is Heritage's baby.

Yep, the cartoon villains that think these things up use cartoon logic. How do we trick people into voting for us? We hire professional actors and front men. Hit them with branding and sell them on the idea of, "you can be rich like us if only you vote for us." When they don't deliver, well it was the oppositions fault, you just need to vote for us harder!
I could, today, write a new American classic called, "Check the voting records." It would be an upbeat jaunt but end with the protagonist under a streetlight sobbing as he stomps his hat into the ground.
Hey, sometimes it is also Nixon's fault
He's hands down the worst president (before the orange dumb shit). His policies destroyed so much of America.
Remember, kids. Reagan loved small town values, which is why he moved to Hollywood.
He believed in the family, which is why he dumped the mother of his children for a hot blonde trophy wife.
He believed in the Christian church, which is why he consulted an astrologer for his major decisions.
He hated illegal drugs, which is why he signed off on the biggest cocaine smuggling operation in history.
Oh yeah, he was a fink for the FBI while he was head of the Screen Actors Guild.
But they were all of them deceived, for another political dogma was made. In the land of Washington in the fires of K Street, the Dark Lord Reagan forged, in secret, a master dogma to control all others. And into this dogma he poured his tax cuts, his deregulation and his will to transfer all wealth from the Many to the Few. One dogma to rule them all.
But something happened raegan did not foresee, there was no trickle down economics.
There was never intended to be....
Until one day, decades later, a small band of unlikely heroes shall find the secret, precious Dogma ring... and cast it into the fire!
He would be the face of corrupt politicians from the "old world" if climate change hasn't doomed us all.
