Trickle down economics.

Emphasis on trick

Aka being pissed on and told it’s raining.

☝️

😢...😡..Yep...and the GOP...

A cowboy movie star.

Totally absolutely completely agree. Reagan started taxing social security ‼️‼️‼️

And one couldn’t deduct credit card and auto loan interest. Direct hits on the middle class. It was about tax cuts for the wealthy.

Yep‼️

So true. The “Gipper” had the wrecking ball going full throttle.

Yeah, another alzheimers patient

....and the Democrats who inadequately planned and failed to act. Name them too

Yes. He started this race to the bottom. And people still believe he was a good president.

Iran-Contra. Firing air traffic controllers. Ignoring the AIDS crisis. “Welfare queens”. The list is endless, just like my contempt for him and his enablers/apologists.

100%!!!!

He was the architects auto-pen…

🎯

He came to power by committing treason. Unfortunately, too many were too dumb to realize that he was the reason the hostages were held for so long.

Why did Obama admire him so?

Just like in Trivial Pursuit

Republicans praise him as if him & his economy were great. His economy sucked and so did his acting

You are not wrong...

Well, uh, here they go again. Sound familiar

He cut the tax rate from 70% to 38%. This gave money to the rich, and they found they loved it. "The more you have, the more you want" and Republicans will do anything to get it, legal or not. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Hi...

Exactly! He stole TRILLIONS from Social Security, which put us in the position we are now in!!!!!

The guy with Alzheimer’s

Reagan was a massive inflection point for sure, but there's always been group of terrible men trying to drag this country away from equality, democracy and enlightenment values. Reagan's wholesome grandpa Hollywood star shtick was the trench coat they threw over themselves to sneak in to power.

A president who was diagnosed with Alzheimers just after he left office 🤔

Truth

I didn’t vote for that moron or the other right wing assholes that were elected with him either. The beginning of the end! It’s where we’re at today. Well and these assholes.

Likewise, in UK, the stem of all social problems is from this horrible bitch

And, of course, Thatcher and Reagan were mates!

Yes…After “using” the Iran hostage situation to assure a “win”, his administration basically lined up the dominoes for the ultra wealthy.

Yep!

Regan gets a lot of credit but the actions taken from the Powell memo lead to Regan.

there you go again

Another shit show movie star

everything that was still good about america began to die on january 20 1981

Voted for a b rate actor, which set the standard and tone for other losers.

In the 80s, Newt Gingrich convinced the GOP to take a Machiavellian approach to elections. Power at any price.

Damn people used to act like I was a traitor when I said that!

Ronnie Raygun

Yep

RIP 🪦 FAIRNESS DOCTRINE

That meme is verifiably false.

And annoyingly popular.

Yep. It always puzzled me why so many people lionized him. IMHO, Reagan was the beginning of the END of the United States of America.

Just imagine if Carter won, Global Warming might not be a threat. I recall going to Energy Department alternative energy fairs and viewing EV’s and Solar power. That was 1979. What if we continued along that path? It’s too bad our helicopters crapped out in the desert during an aborted rescue.

I’ve written the exact same facts. It’s really true. If Carter had won, we ‘d be off fossil fuels for transportation and buildings. We would not have invaded Iraq. Etc

What a stupid piece of shit he was.

Batshit crazy, yet he still spoke more coherently than Trump.

Heritage foundation loving moron Reagan was

And they love him! They worshipped him before Trump entered the picture.

Fuck Reagan.

Well, there's an even stupider piece of shit in the WH. And he and his gang of thugs are even stupider and more corrupt than Reagan's posse.

Reagan paved the way

Joe McCarthy, Nixon, Kissinger, and Reagan.

He was such a smooth liar.

Yep, Reagan and Thatcher ... they birthed, 'It's all about me,' 'There is no such thing as society,' and 'Greed is good.' Back in the day BBC's Radio 4 ran a competition to choose an inscription for Maggie's head stone - the winner, 'Licensed for Dancing.'

True dat!

Neo liberalism isn't working. Thanks Thatcher and Ron, you really fucked our futures!

Yep. Good ole "trickle-down economics". #Reagan

I agree, I know people who tell me to quit blaming Reagan for everything. I then load them down with information I have been gathering for decades on Ronnie.

‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

Absolutely. Reagan and his wife were the worst.

Ronald Wilson Reagan : 666

Yep!

💯💯💯💯💯💯

Most people don't have the time, educ, or inclination to follow politics. I know I didn't when I was in my 20's and 30's. I was busy trying to live and build a life. The downside is that the GOP beginning with Ronald Reagan drop the wealth tas bracket from 74% to 24%, and they've never stopped!

This guy sucked as president! Terrible” trickle down” bullshit idea etc. He should have have stuck with acting with Bonzo even though he sucked as an actor too!

He was the repugnuts first GOP Jesus !!! He and the repugnuts started the lies the oligarchy relied on to convince us that trickle down was the way !!! The drug war was the first attempt to do what ICE is doing now !! There was a 2025 plan way before most people knew we were being lied to!!!

Yep, still the original puppet masters pulling the strings. CPAC, The Heritage Foundation, ALEC and a slew of new fascist tech company CEOs.

Yep. He was NO SAINT as the R's want us to believe.

Yes, this demented fuck started all the bullshit we have now.

When he was President and I pointed out stuff like this, didn’t they come down on me!! Go ahead. Elect movie and tv stars and watch our country go great.

❤️❤️✌️

Yes! Republicans have forgotten it was Reagan who granted amnesty to all the people who were in the country illegally. All the know is "Biden, Biden, Biden."

YEP, BASICALLY..."Trickle-down" RW BS! All money goes to the RICH 1st, then trickles-down to poor, "NEVER WORKED"! RICH got RICHER & POOR got POORER. "COL" raises,' virtually disappeared here! As "WAR on Union's" began here, "cost of living" gradually STOPPED! As u can c, NO PROGRESS! ☠️ 🤬💩

Ronald Bitburg Iran Contra Reagan cancelled a college program in 1982 with the FAA that if I maintained a high GPA and graduated, I was guaranteed a federal job.

He fast tracked Rupert Murdoch's American citizenship.

Yeah the last time dumbmuricans put a know nothing actor in office

This. This. This.

💯

The maga trickle/ tinkle on us fascist beginning

The beginning of piss on American citizens and call it trickle down of course they never saw the word never never trickle down stupid sheep's

and the U.S. never learned the lesson of not hiring an unqualified actor to run the country.

🎯

Don't let Nixon off the hook.

Nixon had the courage to Resign

..... and over here it was his mate Maggie that's the root cause of ours.

Most of all this BS started with that dumbass 🤬

Yes, I believe his own son would agree.

Yep, Raegan was a fugging crook & communist. He taxed military pension. They already never made a decent living & had to get a 2nd job after retirement. RepubliKKKlans take from america & never, I mean never do anything for americans. Yet these idiots vote for smaller paychecks because of a gun. FU

🎯

Oh Yeah 👍

The one thing I can say about Reagan is that he wasn't Pedo, although he's been accused of creating narco-trafficing schemes in the USA.

Accused? Study the Iran- Contra situation

I say accused, because he was never tried for it in court. I have no doubt he was involved.

MAGA! Malicious Assholes Gaslighting America

Also the Pardoning of Nixon. Merca is corrupt AF!!!!!

Reagan's trickle-down economics and deregulation created the 1% and a downward spiral for the rest of Americans. Republicans revere him, but his legacy is an America that the Founders never wanted us to be.

Also had dementia

MS Breeze Hope you don't mind that I reposted I've been saying this for years😊😊

Often it's Columbus TBF

The 10th time is Christianity

They have sane-washed him into being some kind of hero. He was horrible, and began the fall of the US, which is now almost complete.

Actually, it started with Nixon’s belief that anything done by a president is legal. Reagan expanded that notion, & others, by dappling in an early version of Project 2025, called “The Mandate for Leadership." Also, keep in mind that NOT ONE GOP president has been wholly mentally stable since Nixon.

Nixon did create the EPA, and Clean Air and Water Acts.

All Ronald cared about was his "Star Wars" project.
