Reagan saved America. This country was a mess when he was elected and he drew a lot of votes from working class Americans who are patriotic but disagree with the economic policies of the liberal northeast establishment Republicans.
Of course, since then, the party has been unwilling to nominate anyone like him and we’ve seen a slow drift left from Bush Sr to Bush “Ted Kennedy’s one of the best legislative senators” Jr. to Rudy “Most of Clinton’s policies are similar to mine” Judiani.
Reagan, Thatcher and John Paul II all came to power due to divine influence in my opinion. Three amazing people in the right place and exact right time who changed the course of history. May God bless them all.
