I hate that Reagan is supposed to be the benchmark here. That motherfucker set us on this path all those years ago by abandoning the great society view; there's so much that's fucked in the US today that can be traced back to him. The only thing I'll ever give him good credit for is his opposition to nuclear weapons.

I will say, this is EXCELLENT for my "that'll show Dad" collection

[-] conditional_soup@lemm.ee 6 points 2 months ago

I don't think I take your meaning

[-] xkbx@startrek.website 25 points 2 months ago

They are implying a collection of various items, memes or otherwise, that contain facts, comparisons, or perhaps even philosophical quandaries that may stump, refute, or put into question their father’s staunch right wing stance

Or they’re looking to prove their dad right that they collect good memes, 50/50 chance

He had the good decency to die as well.

[-] conditional_soup@lemm.ee 18 points 2 months ago

Yes, but after he'd already done as much damage as he could, not when he received a personal invitation.

I would rather not try to rehabilitate the image of Ronald Reagan. Even if he seems better comparatively he was a rotten piece of shit

[-] Kinperor@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 months ago

I would go as far as saying that we should group these two together in the "bad person" part of any meme

Reagan might be the root cause for most if not all of the woes of the American political landscape. What I wouldn't do to be able to deface his grave

[-] Bleys@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

He wasn’t even better comparatively if you assume Trump is only possible because of Reagan.

[-] PortoPeople@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago

Fair enough. I couldn't blame you.

[-] Fenrir@lemmings.world 27 points 2 months ago

Imagine being compared to Ronald Reagan (The actor?!) and looking worse

[-] LodeMike@lemmy.today 26 points 2 months ago

Imagine being worse than Ronald regan

[-] shawn1122@lemm.ee 4 points 2 months ago

He's his sequel. When has a sequel ever been better?

[-] LodeMike@lemmy.today 1 points 2 months ago

Reportedly 22 Jump Street

Turns out it took someone becoming Hitler for someone to be worse.

And eouldn't you know it, the Heritage Foundation played a big part in both of them coming to power.

[-] Allonzee@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Trump is a symptom of the Reagan Revolution. A vulture come to feast on the carcass.

The compete societal capitulation to the whims of capitalism that was the Reagan/Welch revolution destroyed this nation, don't give Trump that much credit.

It just took the body awhile to hit the floor. I'd argue that was Citizens United.

[-] EtherWhack@lemmy.world 18 points 2 months ago

He knows. Plain and simple.

He's only trying to feign his idea of plausible deniability.

[-] opus86@lemmy.today 2 points 2 months ago

At this point he has pushed so hard and destroyed so much that I doubt he knows the amount of damage he's done, or if there will be a price to pay.

[-] OldChicoAle@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

I'm beginning to think we give him too much credit for being smart. He's actually pretty fucking dumb.

[-] EtherWhack@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

For some things maybe, but with his level of arrogance and self-centeredness, I would refuse to give him any "out" by claiming ignorance.

[-] Sgt_choke_n_stroke@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

Both are awful

[-] Almacca@aussie.zone 10 points 2 months ago

Apart from everything else, those three words alone should put him out of a job, but y'all are to fucking weak.

[-] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 7 points 2 months ago

What's the context?

Not to imply that he's even fit to run a McDonad's.

[-] modus@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

Trump was asked if he was obligated to uphold the constitution. He responded by saying he didn't know, but he had very good lawyers.
