This is why I submit that Ronnie Raygun - at least until little d came along - was the worst President in recent history.
He made everything worse at the time, and laid the ground for even worse things to come. Also his administration was the most objectively criminal in history. Again, the aftermath of little d still remains to be seen as to how many of his people are indicted - even if after the fact.
The thing is, little d did not create what he waltzed into and took advantage of - he’s a symptom, not the cause. Ronnie’s wrecking crew got the ball really rolling, people like Newt kept it up, as well as Faux and hate radio and the likes of Lil Alex, up until little d announcing his “presidency”.
Reagan was the literal actor hired to play president by a group of Machiavellian assholes, many of whom were also behind the scenes of both Bushes, Nixon, and lots of Republican Congress members. Not disagreeing that Reagan is where they really got traction on their dreams of power, but Reagan wasn’t the architect.

Don’t let Ford off the hook, either—some of the worst culprits started in his cabinet.
Oh, definitely not. He was the J.R. “Bob” Dobbs image that they slapped on the advertising of all the BS they were selling under his image.
