And this was not the issue. Reagan's success had zip to do with the country being divided. And he was somewhat successful because the country was certainly no where near as divided as it is in 2017 America, regardless of what you claim.
It was a completely different era.
What you're seeing now is widespread organized media and D.C., corruption and deceit focused directly at Trump, 24/7 daily, for nearly two years now. Did that happen with Reagan? Certainly not!
How bad is it? Even our intelligence agencies are attempting to illegally undermine and compromise Trump. Did that happen with Reagan? Certainly not!
Pay attention.
DC has been corrupt before I was born. Probably the greater part of the 20th century.
The news media attacks used to work so they didn't have to keep it up 24/7 for 2 years. A couple of weeks or a couple of months would suffice.
Even our intelligence agencies are attempting to illegally undermine and compromise Trump.
You're naive if you think the intelligence agencies just started this crap. They got caught is all. That's like saying my first speeding ticket was the only time I ever went over the speed limit and I was just unlucky.
Ask yourself this had any other Republican won, do you think we would be seeing what we are seeing now? My answer is no. You would see a weak kneed politician caving in to the establishment and then everything would look calm again. The divisions you think are worse would be notched down because they have the President under control.
Think of GWB1 he dumped his "read my lips" promise as soon as there was the least bit of turbulence. How bad do you think it would be if he put up a fight? You see when you play ball with the left they take it easy on you.
The apparatus has been in place for decades we are just seeing it used at full volume.
