In reply to the discussion: Someday it will be crystal clear to all just what a terrible president Ronald Reagan was- [View all]MuseRider
(34,104 posts)as an adult in politics but this fucker made me stand up and pay real attention and do some things finally. It was so damned embarrassing and watching him destroy what we thought we had accomplished with civil rights, the way we addressed other people, the way we wanted the world to be and how we could lead and he came in like a wrecking ball. I remember distinctly when he said something along the lines that it did not matter, you are who you are and that is OK. There stopped the progress we had made trying to better our society and then all the walls keeping things relatively easy to live here for most people came smashing down all around us. I hate him to this day for how he changed everything and none of it was good. He is the reason we are here. Even freaking Nixon, as horrible as he was, did not change things as badly as Reagan.
