“Precisely. The vitriol against Reagan was awful”
Most people here dont know because they were kids, or not even born. They only know the “Regan highlight reel” of great speeches, and happy events from the 80s.
They have no clue how many people likened him to a mad Hitler wannabe that will start WW3 and wanted poor people to die in the streets of AIDS, and other nonsense.
And it started during the 76 run. By 80 it had become epic trying to portray him as an insane old man who would nuke the world. H. W was part of it
Yup. I remember the anti-nuke themed tunes coming out, all because Reagan “dared” to stand up to the Soviets.
