(1,200 posts)Who had become Republicans, love Reagan. Some have already decided they arent voting that party this year. Thank god.
I agree. The nostalgia is strong in this.

And while he was not all there at the time he did sign an amnesty bill for immigrants.

(2,227 posts)He was an actor, B grade at best.
He was good at reading scripts. I seriously doubt he was the originator of the policies or speeches. He was a front man.
He was endearing to the people because of his acting career. Ahnold was Reagan 2.0, not so endearing, a lot more kick ass. Times and tastes change. The GOP saw the success of Reagan and upped the machismo factor to try the same with Schwarzenegger. The wanted to project strength. Who better than the Terminator.
Reagan was a bought and paid for sock puppet, first as governor of California, for the purpose of beginning the complete take over of the GOP, which has since metastasized into the fascists and supremacists currently making up the GOP core, resulting in the turd currently floating in the White House toilet bowl.
While he was an actor he was president of the Screen Actors Guild, which is essentially a union. But one of his FIRST acts of making his mark as president was to begin the war on unions, targeting the Air Traffic controllers. The union movement has yet to recover.
But Reagan was the beginning of the end. Of which we are rapidly approaching the final conclusion (yes, I know that is redundant).
It IS a great ad, and I eagerly accept using his words to help bring down the turd.

(11,949 posts)But as I said, he was great at creating a narrative. I should have added- that someone wrote for him.
The republicans learned a lesson. Put up a sock puppet they could control. George Bush numbers 1 drove the lesson home. He was awful hit no idiot. And they wanted someone they could control more. They found their perfect President with Bush 2. They thought they had it in trump but he may bring them all down.

Personally, I very much dislike feeding into the myth of Reagan as any sort of great president, but if it will help convince any Republicans to abandon trump, I suppose it's worth it.

(4,463 posts)... Republicans Against Тяцмр still spells RAT.
I suppose thats why they inserted voters into their name.

This has been an aggressive campaign since Reagan. They have achieved most of their goals!
Biden will win, we have a few years of peace, fix the economy, and right back to another Trump type asshole that fractures all of it. It is a trend that is inarguable!
I want to believe, but this country is absolutely ridiculous!

YOU jump-started all this with your slick smooth-talking salesmanship and high-fallutin' phony piety. YOU got this going, on steroids. And THIS is now yours. This donald trump is YOUR "son." YOUR misbegotten son, who's the worst nightmare of your own fondest cockeyed dreams. And he's taking your "shining city on a hill" and turning it into a smoldering pile of rubble IN HELL.
