And Trump?
“If you’re a Republican at age 20, you don’t have a heart.
“If you’re a Democrat at age 30, you don’t have a head.”
My parents very publicly left the Dems in 1960 by getting elected to a local party organization, then going GOP.
But https://www.unz.com/runz/american-pravda-the-power-of-organized-crime/ about mob influence in California, talks about how mob-made MCA made Reagan.
This was before Reagan betrayed the working people of this country, shipping their jobs off to China.
Reagan gave us amnesty for 2.7 million illegals and two Justices that upheld Roe vs Wade.
Pretty much the same reason we all left it. A lot of us were Roosevelt and Kennedy Democrats. I was a Reagan Democrat. Changed parties in 1982. W. Bush made me an Independent.
People complain about Roosevelt, but the GOP ran Herbert Hoover, Alf Landon, Wendell Willkie and Thomas Dewey against him. The McCain’s and Romney’s of their day.
And now you know why Reagan signed the biggest amenesty bill in history in 1986 which absolutely got clinton and obama elected and changed the social construct of the US forever.
He was a democrat for most of his life.
You don’t see the difference between being a democrat pre-1960 when Texas and the South was democrat and becoming a democrat in the 2000s?
