Oh yeah, I vaguely remember that one. I guess Reagan was only better than Trump because most of the government was still kinda OK when he started fucking it up.

Yeah, and You know how Reagan's policies are still fucking shit up 40 years later? How long will Trump's fuckups be felt. The next 4 or 5 generations are already fucked.

I wouldn't be opposed to the Dems winning the next election but yeah, it wouldn't change much. Something more fundamental is required.

Well good news. That won't be happening. Once you go bad enough and people lose confidence in the farce that is government, a new one must be made.

True. I'm no history buff, but I think it usually requires things to first get even worse, like a war or a revolution, before it gets better.

Reagan was the devil, but since he was an actor he could pretend to be the nation's loving grandpa.

Acting!
