Reagan is the beginning of basically all the worst things about the modern USA......but even he didn't try to literally overthrow the government.

I say pushing the idea of trickle down economics counts as overthrowing our government.

But that’s just because I really really really hate Regan.

It goes back further, but the flashy evil that he is the face of uses Reagan as a blueprint. Consider Reagan the face of a team of baddies. Responsible but nor the sole blame.

His wife’s anti-drug campaigns did some pretty heavy damage on society by way of stereotyping and instilling fear.

Yeah Nancy took that campaign almost as deep as she took-

Sorry I guess it’s easier to compile the smaller list of who she hasn’t.

Reagan’s term was transformative when there were assumed the leaders acted with the public in interest. Nixon’s term was the framework for subversive actions against political opponents. Trump’s term was exercising the loopholes created during Reagan and subversive actions learned during Nixon to establish political authoritarianism.

Unless you're British, then it's Thatchers fault.

Or Swedish, then everything is the fault of Christian II of Denmark.
