I mean they are.

Remember my (once gop until Nixon) dad shaking his finger &saying it was "that shystering Reagan" who took the party down w a bunch of knuckle headed evangelical pastors.

I'm also 70 & got slammed w/ his idiocy. Masses are not so much insane as uneducated & brainwashed (FOX, etal). Reagan waged war on education, mental health and the middle class. His admin profoundly affected my life trajectory. He ranks at the bottom w/ Trump. Makes me want to believe in hell.
