Why are republicans masturbating so hard over Raegan, when he objectively wasn't a good president?

Why is the first post always the best post?

Yours is shit though.

> Destroyed communism by manipulating the American currency

Press F to pay respect

It isn't, and you just proved that.

Idk why reagans liked either.

What the fuck did he do but shill for kikery.

I lived through those years and can confirm. In many ways he was the end of the good old days (ironically) when people could make a living. He started the government's debt ball rolling with the "deficits don't matter" idea and made it easy for corporations to funnel money to the top. He escalated the failed war on drugs which wasted many many billions locking up people for weed and undermining the government's credibility. The economic recovery he presided over went almost exclusively to the upper class.

It's just that he was very popular and has a good look so the Republicans decided to build their brand around him. Soon no one will really remember how shitty he was, may as well be George Washington. Just a face on a coin.

He's a cuckservative wet dream

He's overrated, but he's objectively a good president.

He was disliked when he left office and they built and organization to shape how he was viewed. They put money into making people like him then tried to cash in politically. It's early memetic political warfare.

Check muh dubs of truth.

Only old Republicans worship at the altar of Reagan. That era of the party is officially dead.

With my nigga Newt, who calls himsel a reaganite all the time, as a VP, that era might not have ended yet.

I lived through the years as well.
People forget Carter. Much of the reasoning is because, Republicans had a black eye because of Nixon and Communism was literally taking over.
Rhodesia got taken over by Commies. Angola, Mozambique. Around 30 countires in all became Communist while Carter was president.

While Reagan was president most where on their way to dismantling.

Then there was the Berlin wall. I guess you had to be alive and watch it on TV. It really felt like we won.

user is right about the economy, but we didn't feel it while he was president, but he set us up to become wage slaves.. that's true.

>pro amnesty
>gun grabber
>neo con
>deficit economy
>ruined the GOP

Fuck Reagan.

A bigger jew tool than Carter - takes a dim amerrifat to achieve that

I was going to reply to the post but then I saw the flag. Your country is not worth a damn.

You weren't even there.
How would you know?
We are going to get you all, you know.
And you life isnt worth piss, you loser.

Look at this mad little republican.

>Granted amnesty to 5 million illegals
>Assault weapons ban
>No fault divorce
>Iran-Contra

Mate it's Czech Republic not Philippines. He's ok.

The same could be said for Abraham Lincoln, the man was objectively a retard.

Both parties have so degenerated that they both collectively fantasize over their last decent Presidents: Reagan for Republicans, Clinton for Democrats.

They both represent the "good days in memory," a past so close...but so gone.

In reality, The political state of the republic has been all downhill since Vietnam, really. Last good Preseient, objectively:Eisenhower.

Strong personality, apologized for nothing, and beat the Reds (via spending shitloads of money and growing the military to a fuckall huge size). Also helped get double digit inflation rates under control.

Also hair metal and cocaine were awesome. But I somewhat agree, he was kind of mediocre. Most of our presidents in the last several generations have been mediocre.

It is important to note that economic policies put in place by presidents don't start to affect the economy until 8-10 years after they implement them.

He received a lot of shit about the economy because carter and ford fucked it up with their hair brain policies.

Clinton took credit for all of the success the Reagan administration was responsible for in the 90's

Communism was destroyed by Lenin (if we take communism to mean a classless society ruled by Soviet councils) the country became a growing bureaucratic monster under Stalin which forced growth but fell out from under it's own weight eventually, when it became bad at managing the economy and overspent on defense with a growing discontent among the new elite who basically wanted to be able to indiscriminately rob and pillage the country and increase their wealth which was held in check by Socialist forms so they toppled the government in a coup and after a counter coup by hardline Red Army officers failed, they just carried on under new forms. Tl; dr Reagan didn't topple the Soviet government, it fell under its own weight and was finally overthrown by a segment of elites with some popular support among the universities and in the major cities.

Clinton gets a lot of credit for shit that wasn't even in his control. The 90s were a good times decade, and it was driven by the tech boom and the start of the run up in real estate that continued until 07.

I view Clinton as a total mediocrity president. The AWB was a disaster, his health care reforms went nowhere, and he signed NAFTA into law. About the only thing he did that was a positive was balance the budget.

Better than GWB or Obama but still meh.

reagan was a communist and should have bene hanged

eisenhower was a genocidal maniac

I still remember how people loved him when the Iranian Hostages got released as soon as he became President.

People love Reagan because he made people proud to be Americans after Nixon, Ford and Carter. The Carter years where a total mess.

>balancing the budget
Like that doesn't solve all other problems.

It was all for nothing, GWB invaded Iraq two years later and totally fucked our budget and national debt

He was a master of smoke and mirrors, he was a champion of markets and yet he repeatedly bailed out companies that failed rather than let them be subject to market discipline. He was a champion of democracy and yet he supported regimes who crushed democracy (Saddam, El Salvador, communist Romania, Khmer Rouge), he fought a war against drugs and yet supported the worlds biggest coke dealer Noriega and the Afghan mullahs who were ass deep in the heroin trade, and the rubes bought it all.

reagan shattered the demcocratic keynesian system of the time.

Americans were well on their way to becoming europe. with suffocating government and a planned economy. Reagan cut taxes, cut government, bankrupted the soviets with an arms race, and helped usher in the computer revolution.

Actually that started with Ford and picked up with Carter.

>cut government

More like shifted government, he poured billions into the military industrial complex, cut social spending of course and regulations on capital, but government spending increased under him.

He stole money from social security which he used to bail out the banks when they fucked up with the savings and loans scandal, GM when it was being crushed by lean Japanese production, and Star Wars which essentially was pouring money from the public towards the military and profits into the hands of companies.

Reagan helped make Americans proud to be Americans. Some of his policies were dumb but then again he was a moderate conservative so that's to be expected.

>objectively wasn't a good president?
I guess you could argue the point although I would disagree with you. In comparison to his predecessor though, Reagan was a superstar.
