Donald Trump is bad at America, two out of three Americans agree, and the third American not only is an actual Nazi, but also doesn't think sugar, or meth, causes tooth decay.
I was born in 1980, and I remember the prevailing attitude on TV at the time being that he was a heartless, racist asshole. Almost nobody ever liked Regan. It's a complete fantasy.
Well, MLK and Malcolm X were both shot shortly after they started talking about human rights, international law, and the UN. They became a threat to the state, so the state killed them. Or at least that's how I perceive the history, from what I know.
I won't, he was a beautiful, intelligent, sarcastic soul and the world is a lesser place for his and all the other wonderful persons we lost as a result of the "Evil Empire."
He won 49 states in the 1984 election in, like, one of the biggest landslides ever? Probably because America was and is full of people who like racist assholes?
Sadly a lot of white folks still are, if not openly, it's more like they speak of it when no blacks are around and they think because you white you are too. I'm all the time telling folks I disagree when they say something like, well what do you expect he's black and you know how blacks are.
MLK was killed by a state conspiracy, or so I think, just like you. King's family believe the alleged killer, James Earl Ray, didn't do it, which is pretty impressive. Maybe he didn't. But Malcolm X was evidently killed by former associates in the Nation of Islam after he broke with it, bitterly disappointed in the moral conduct of his former mentor and leader, Elijah Mohammed. That's what I reckon the facts show, and it's much too familiar a sad story where religious leaders are concerned. They rarely seem to fall anywhere near the sexual mean. They're either strictly celibate -- or conspicuously the reverse!
Agreed! Now, can label his crazy economic theories crazy - too crazy for even neoliberals: trickle-down (TARPs failed miserably), privatization of education/healthcare/prisons, and deregulation of Banking?
"The truth of the matter is that my policies are so mainstream that if I had set the same policies that I had back in the 1980s, I would be considered a moderate Republican," quoting President Obama. He is proud of this... https://data.bls.gov/timese...
It's been almost a decade and 99% are still un-recovered. Democrats must admit the truth BEFORE moving forward with more Reaganomics under the guise of identity politics.
At the time Reagan died, my grandma had been using a wheelchair for a couple of years due to a series of strokes. When she found out he died, she asked for her walker, hauled herself up, and danced a little jig. She said some things that would probably break the rules for radicals, also too. This woman wouldn't let us have jellybeans at Easter because they were his favorite candy. I feel like not enough 6 year olds in the 80s had grandmas that were more than happy to explain how much the president hated poor and sick people.
Not to mention although it may already have been how pro gun Raygún was until those Negro Cougar People showed up in Sacramento all open carryin' and shit.
RE: MLK, Jr. a commie symp.
Guilt by association is for liberals only. Right wingers actually marching with people carrying Nazi flags? How dare the media call them Hitlerites!!

Yeah, but he didn't double down on Bitburg. It was bad. He goofed. He let it go.
The general theme of Nazis bad was still intact.

Actually I can only see one....thank god

Christ, way back then? Dude, read a book. Reagan created Trump. There would be no Trump without Reagan's policies.
I like Walt Kelly's remarks on McCarthy/McCarthyism, myself:
