Fascists don't actually care about anything other than attacking the poor, minorities, women, etc.

Reagan was "great" for that.

The number of people that died of AIDS each year under his watch was in the millions. Not 90k.

I don't think it is mental illness causing the homeless crisis. Homelessness is up 20% from 2023 and I'm pretty sure the high cost of living is to blame.

A lot of homeless people are mentally sound, but are struggling with sky high prices, or dont have the motivation to work 60 or 80 hours, facing, constant exhaustion to live in a hole in the wall.

Libs prefer blaming the victims of capitalism rather than capitalism itself.

The mental institution thing... That's maybe not entirely fair. Prior to Reagan, most residential mental institutions were terrible places, worse than some of the worst prisons in the US. Closing them seemed better for the residents than keeping them open and attempting to reform. But it's certainly had a lot of unintended consequences.

I think a lot of those criticisms are fair. But blame for aids as if the president is some god whose fault it is that nature exists says a lot about the role presidents take in our mind. It isn't healthy.

The issue is more that his administration didn't give a shit about 'gay cancer' because it was almost exclusively affecting gay people at the time, so they did absolutely nothing about it.

As non American I was ready to just move on and let them suffer in their own cycle of nonsense. But we can't even do that. Since jokes about invasions are increasing at an alarming rate. Jokes about countries sovereignty became completely unfunny after Feb 2022.

If you ever happen to visit Berlin in Germany, make sure to spit on his memorial plaque, as he is worshiped as a freedom fighter in Germany.

He’s the shining poster child of the GOP!

I know he was really bad, but Trump promised he will do everything in his power to be worse.

Reelected in 1984 when the national unemployment rate was 10%
