Reagan did a lot to change the nation's fundamental views toward conservatism. Beyond that he successfully sold the nation on ideas like trickle down economics, he engaged in serious union busting, he also enacted dangerous deregulation, and so on. He did more for conservatism and moving the nation to the right than you fully realize or appreciate. Why to you think right wingers speak of Saint Gipper is such hushed tones?
