Surely those of the generation who grew up aware of how Reagan differed from Carter (growing up with both in office) could be called Generation Reagan.
There were a bunch of angry leftists in the same generation who despised Reagan (and demonized him in all kinds of ways) but much of their hate was hysteria about things that never came to pass (Reagan is going to start WWIII, nuclear bombs detonating, etc. AIDS would be cured if ONLY Reagan had done something sooner, spent more money, etc...). The “homeless” problem is only ever noted by the media when Republicans are in office so expect it to return in 2017 or so...
I’m not quite old enough to remember Carter while he was in office, given than I was born in 1980, but I can remember events from an age quite a bit younger than most of my peers and I certainly remember the miserable effect he had on the country. I remember the bitter liberals particularly well, most of them were my teachers, everyone else I knew loved Reagan. It’s just sad to me that my political awareness started around 1983 to 1984 and was fully developed by the time Gorbachev came to power, while many of my peers can’t remember anything about politics or government before Monica Lewinsky.
