I felt the same. These guys were little kids when Reagan was president. Their understanding of Reagan is about the same as mine is about Eisenhower, which is I remember seeing on tv as a child. They’re reflecting something they’ve been told but didn’t experience. I’m essentially a European-style socialist, but I do not and have never hated America. I’m a proud daughter of a WW1 vet, sister of brothers who were WW2 vets and aunt to guys who served in Viet Nam. So, yeah. I agree.

They did it again in the secret podcast today. Like all democrats in the 80s were communists. Reagan KILLED A LOT of union jobs including in my home state of Massachusetts with his union busting bs. We were in a recession most of his time in office but hey-he talked pretty.

They can’t because then every thing they believed was a lie.

Absolutely! I find myself thinking back to the 80s and wondering what planet they were on. I suppose it tells us something about how we ended up so frigging divided if they thought all Democrats were commie America hating terrorists. I’m from Detroit originally - I can certainly tell you about union busting and job loss!

They’ve used the same slurs on us forever it’s no wonder we ended up here with the magas thinking we are all groomers.

The real sign that a conservative has come to their senses is when they can tell the truth about Reagan. All we can do is help them along the way.
