The Reagan Revolution is dead!

The Republican Party is now owned by Donald J Trump. A recent poll showed that 86% of all Republicans strongly supported Donald Trump as President.

It is impossible to support two opposing ideas in our mind at the same time. I cannot say I am now typing on a black background if, in reality, I am typing on a white background. Only one is true.

That means that the Tea Partiers that supported Reagan and economic conservatism and balanced budgets are in conflict with their own reality, even though they now say they support Donald Trump.

Ronald Reagan conservatism is dead. It only exists in the minds of those Republicans that are in denial about who now controls their Party.

They covered it with claims it was about religion anti communism and other things but after Obama they no longer even tried to hide it.

The ones who really were about anti communism didn't support him like mccain and other neocons .
