> back when he was running things his policies hadn't really been felt yet what a load of cope. the difference between what it was like in 1984 vs life in 1984 was night and day. reagan was a transformative president. you want to know how? his success was so complete that the dems adopted his entire platform and still run on it to this day. mondale was basically bernie thats was the dem norm at the time and it was so thoroughly rejected that only now decades later to you have actual leftism creeping back into the left wing party. you're just nitpicking because you want to hate an extremely effective president who doesnt align with your current political beliefs. you may not like him but again you dont win so completely unless you were the man for the time. now to address some common criticisms often blown out of proportion. > spics dems lies they promised border control for amnesty and then never delivered border control. unlike trump now, dems ran the house and senate in reagans time. the total amnesty handed out was less than the number of illegal;s in the last two years under biden by the way. all the spics you see flooding the country came here long after reagan left office. the ones he gave amnesty to are pretty old now, most are provably dead. > financial problems none of the financial problems of today are reagans doing. it was a completely different time and a completely different economic reality. > neocon he was objectively not a neocon. bush and co were. reagan was the outsider that fought the neocons in his party bitterly like trump did just to get the nomination for potus and had lots of neocons forced on him. honestly he was far better at fending them off and getting what he wanted than trumps first term admin was. > wealth gap meaningless. in 1980 home loan interest rates were far higher than now. by 1984 everyone was buying homes and paying them off because they had high paying jobs that you will never see now.
