Because you'd have to propose increasing taxes. Republicans/Reagan cut the top tax rate in half (70->35) and lucked into one of the best economic growths for a while as the Carter/Volker shock finally panned out and interest rates were dropped. It's why Reagonmics and a trickle down economy were able to remain major Republicans platforms since then.

So proposing a tax increase viewed as bad for the economy was a non-starter. The capture of both political parties to capitalism and business was probably more a kicked can from Mccarthy anticommunism stuff.

Well then we might have to reopen all those mental institutions that Reagan closed (only with ya know modern treatment).

Yeah, I feel that its one of those things where people made up stuff to fit after the fact. If he was such a genius and had periods of independence as I believe its also canon that he did attempt a rebellion against Palpatine at least once then you'd expect that he could have fixed it up/improved it significantly in the years before Luke and Leia.

I don't think that matters when they're so anti higher education

I mean so threaten MSCHE with recognition withdrawal if they don't discredit Columbia. It's not like its a far reach for Republicans.

Yeah, but Disney fanatics are a minority. Sure they'll buy stuff and they'll get the streaming too but there aren't enough of them alone to make streaming profitable enough for Disney.
