Actually, they blamed Reagan for the disease they spread. Yes, because Reagan didn't order that a cure for the HIV virus be immediately found.
That despite the fact that male homos were chiefly responsible for spreading the disease with their promiscuous and unsafe habits. And they, the homos, refused to take measures that would have stopped the spread. Simple measures like using condoms.
Well....it’s true the faggies blamed Reagan for AIDS. But you now have to be a certain age to remember that, so I updated “it’s someone else’s fault!!” somewhat.
Heck, GWB still gets blamed for everything else.
