Political Memes

It is so strange. After the Republicans turned a depression into the Great Depression with tariffs and then Watergate, it seemed like they were no longer relevant. Then Reagan came along, and was an extremely liberal conservative. Reagan "invented" the no fault divorce so that couples would no longer have to sue each other and declare one of them at fault. The republican party should have went extinct at Bush Episode 1... "read my lips, no new taxes" (he lied and was a one term president because of it).

Then Bush Episode 2, who was a complete idiot ... then Trump. Why? How can this stupid corrupt party still be relevant?

You would need to target Jude Wanniski (conservative economist). Reagan wasn't the one who came up with supply side economics though he was an effective face of the message, reviving the Republican Party from its loss of credibility due to Nixon.

Part of it is just unbridled American level greed though. America has a good thing going post WW2, having horded 80% of the worlds gold supply by selling weapons to allies and staying out of the war until instigated by Japan in '41.

Also had a good thing going with the New Deal which helped pull the economy out of the great depression and bolstered / introduced many of the public services that are still in use today.

But no, dangle some marginal tax cuts in front of common folk who have the best standard of living in the world and apparently they'll vote for acceleration toward end stage capitalism.

Unless it is Margaret Thatcher who went back in time, then she and Reagan would fuck.

Reagan was a fucking actor that was reading lines, shooting him would have done nothing. They'd just find a new electable moron to read the party's script.

I would also shoot regan

You could just hop back through time doing this, and no one could ever catch you at the end because you hadn't even committed those crimes yet

TIL I'm a girl.

By whom

If they aren't shooting now, they aren't shooting back then.

That's pretty unrealistic. No girl has come close to shooting a president since Ford was in office.

Honestly, girl same!
