Why do people feel the need to make obvious statements?
The premise "Reaganism and MAGA are absolutely not the same" is no different from "Water is wet".
I’ve had MAGA friends say Reagan would be MAGA today and it’s obviously BS. Reagan would very likely despise Trump.
They're MAGA friends. Why are you listening to them?
I have friends and family who are MAGA. They're misguided. LOL! One day they'll understand how misguided they were.
When I think of someone aligned with Reaganism I think of George Will, who is solidly in the never Trump camp
@co-hoosier Yes, he did, a couple times. Trump has no originality.
@aloha-hoosier David Duke would get as many votes as Reagan today. He was a military spending trickle down Econ president.
@iunorth I hear ya. Character just isn’t anything I think about. The Dem party committed the largest fraud in politics in my lifetime. So I’m supposed to worry about Trump? Mean tweets. I care about outcomes. Nothing more. I don’t like Trump bc his outcomes are bad. The rest is noise
Character is extremely important.
Trump's pay-to-play presidency and rampant corruption are a function of his lack of character. Apex political corruption is profoundly damaging. Research at Stanford and elsewhere shows that when corruption occurs at the very peak of power, it acts as a uniquely corrosive force that destabilizes democracies and leads to increasing support for authoritarianism.
@big-ryan then you must have REALLY despised the Dems with the fraud they committed. My goodness from blm to covid to the classified docs to the pardons to the coverup of his health. Trump is as pure as the driven snow compared to Dems. Or are you just obsessed with trump and willing to overlook the foregoing? I see you post all day every day longgggggg posts with your inane articles but you were eerily silent during that time. Hmmmmmm. So weird

And that's why Trump left him off the chart 😉
Reagan was a good President. He was however not much of a fiscal conservative. He does have that in common with Trump. By the time he left office he had tripled the national debt and he didn't really shrink the government. Government spending as a percentage of GDP was just over 22% when he took office and just over 21% when he left 8 years later.
Reagan was a man of great character who loved America and tried his best to be President for all Americans. Trump is the opposite.
That Reagan had a much more pleasing personality than Trump is not even worthy of comment. Despite the stark differences in style and personality, the two men had remarkably similar policy positions. Bombing Libya. “Bombing starts in five minutes”, Deregulation. Tax reform. The list is a long one.

Look at the numbers. My posting frequency is a fraction of yours.
Don't project.
@big-ryan i'm in and out. fast and loose. engaging with people. joking around. you're looking up trump articles then writing novels bc you're mental and have about as much personality as a termite.
The Dem party committed the largest fraud in politics in my lifetime.
Repeating this claim over and over doesn't make it any less nonsensical.
The medical conditions of presidents have been concealed going back to FDR's presidency. It continued through JFK, LBJ, Reagan, Biden and now Trump. Right/Need-to-know issues competing with national security considerations.
JFK took a complex mix of daily medications (including steroids, painkillers, stimulants, anti-anxiety drugs and barbiturates) to treat severe and potentially life-threatening health conditions including Addison's Disease, colitis and various infections. The public didn't know this at the time. LBJ, unbeknownst to the public, was a heart-attack waiting to happen and a prime reason he dropped his reelection bid. Reagan was shot in the chest and close to dying in March 1981. His injury was initially downplayed significantly by his team. He was in a significant decline during his second term and an aide went so far as asking Howard Baker to consider the 25th Amendment. Trump's got chronic venous insufficiency and God knows how many other physical and mental health conditions. We'll hear a shit-ton about this once he's out of office.
Biden to Harris late in the election season: not the first time that's happened. LBJ dropped out late and Humphrey got the nomination without going through the primary process. Humphrey and Harris were on national tickets (1964 and 2020, respectively) that won the election. A vote for LBJ and Biden was a vote for their running mate. The same can't be said for Gerald Ford. He ascended to the presidency without being elected either president or vice-president.
Stop with this "largest fraud in my lifetime" nonsense. It's ridiculous.

In and out. LOL. You live here. You're in the weeds in every thread. You'll recite what someone said in a specific thread six months ago. If someone tags you or responds to one of your posts, you're on it almost always within minutes. It's actually hilarious.
@big-ryan GTFO. Sharp as a razor. Outright lied to peoples faces. Even cnn came out and said this is absurd. Deprived all of us a vote. There has never been a more fraudulent corrupt organization than the Dem party the last eight years. It’s not even close. You’re just obsessed with Trump bc you’re one of these woke small town weirdos with a pea for a brain. The type of guy Trump gobbles up. The very worst kind of beta
