52. Yep, Trump is the distillation of the Reagan era

It was the era that brought him into the national public eye. Everything about him -- the greed, the bigotry and racism, the misogyny, the insularity and lack of compassion, the lack of ethics, the lack of taste -- is such a perfect symbol of what Reaganism really meant and what it produced.

Since the Iranian hostage crisis begat the Reagan era, it would be poetically apropos if a similar situation overseas put a dagger through the Trump regime and ended the Reagan aftershock once and for all.
