When I was young, the unions were so angry with Reagan they were blowing up utility poles with M1000s in support of the Democrats. It was disgusting.

Each of these were about the same as a 1/4 stick of dynamite that could blow a utility pole to the ground.

Someone even set these on some pay phones where if you took the phone off the hook, it would blow up the phone in your face, this happened in 1987 in support of Democrats.

Contrast to what is happening today.
