His opponent ran on higher taxes and cuckoldry + there were dramatically less mexicans.
white people
USA was mostly white.
This
There were less blacks and latinos in America back then
Reagan was the governor of California
Also white people
second post best post
Isn't he the reason that California is blue now, because he signed naturalization laws/
There were far fewer Mexicans. Ironically, Reagan made sure to give the illegals amnesty so they could vote against his party in the years to come.
yes and he did many more stupid fucking things
He was a charismatic, world famous, Hollywood actor.
He won for the same reason Schwarzenigger was governor of California - they're all intellectually retarded star-fuckers who can't think for themselves.
Reagan was the best choice, but California didn't vote for him because of his policies.
started by running against Carter, took and blue state and wanted to paint it red through being a bretty good prez and great communicator
>He won for the same reason Schwarzenigger was governor of California
You really have to consider the circumstances of his run for Governor and why he won.
You had Gary fucking Coleman and Gallagher running, too. It was a pretty big mess.
>all but DC and MN
anyone who says MN will go red for any election doesn't know what they're talking about.
Lower taxes
Most people don't vote for ideology or policy they agree with, they vote for immediate benefit. A lot of Hillary voters probably just assume they'll get more welfare or whatever.
Turned California eternally blue
How?
Oh yeah Amnesty. Cuck tier president, don't know why amerifags like him so much
I seriously don't understand why Republicans think he is the second Jesus.
He was a fucking delusional idiot without a mind that fucked over gun laws, naturalization laws, labour laws, mental institutions, banking, regulization laws, etc. He fucked up the country big time but he had a witty charm so that makes it okay....
esprit de corps
He was a strong man who made people feel proud to be American again
Less polarization. People were more willing to cross party lines.
The US was mostly white. Minorities are a locked voter demographic that don't swing vote.
He was a terrible president and the reason we are in a lot of this mess but he was patriotic and nationalistic. He gave damn good inspiring speeches. Its not about what he did its about how he made Americans feel.
Because if it's not him it's Nixon or Bush.
Ultimately Reagan's campaign was upbeat and about American exceptionalism and Carter's - while technically right about the real geo-political existential threats to US and global life - came off as more negative in comparison.
Also it's not like Reagan just came out of nowhere, he'd run against Ford for the GOP nomination for years earlier and had missed out because the though a sitting President, even an unelected one, was a stronger position.
Carter had also had a really shit first term as well.
There will never be another Republican candidate from California because the GOP has no chance there and candidates usually win their home states. So it would be best to choose someone from a swing state.
>California
Illegal spics, SJWs, and faggots weren't the main residents at the time, was loved by Hollyjew for being a actor
>New York
same as cali
Because he was an actor from the baby boomer era.
Give all the voters a carton of chesterfields
