False paradigms. Look back at how Reagan was viewed during his time. It’s now Trump’s time, and the slander and the mis-characterizations are just as thick.

If you are a huge fan, why would you use the term “Zombie Reaganism”?

Because to try to act as though the US and the world has not changed in 43 years since Reagan was first elected is ludicrous. So to just reflexively try to stick to the same policies is zombie-like. If Reagan were around today, I'm sure he too would have different policies to deal with the very different situation now.

Ok that makes sense. Also, the neverTrumpers who feign praise for Reagan as a way of dissing Trump - they could also be called zombies.

When I first read it I thought you were saying Reagan lovers were like zombies.

Does this guy really believe his own BS? No one with any objectivity would describe Trump’s message as pessimistic. Highlighting problems that RINOs like himself have ignored for years is not pessimism. In fact, draining the swamp of his ilk is one of the most optimistic visions I’ve heard from a Republican leader.

No. I see it with my own eyes. Am I mistaken that Trump just went on an idiotic rant about Iowa even though he’s way ahead in the polls? I don’t live in a MAGA protected bubble.

My husband of 33 years died of a massive heart attack, 18 years ago. He had a $17.000 401K, I put it in an Annuity, and I just started drawing off it at 72. In that time it grew so slowly, that it reached just over $19,500. My SS is below average. Put the ins left from the funeral in a CD as they were making more money then. Now in an Annuity.

We had 3 boys, one was murdered at 16 so some sociopath could have his thrills.

The eldest at 52 has worked since he was 16 and has one son who is 21-one-year-old, son is not interested in marriage, why should he, he has a shack up. Eldest had a Quad Bypass this year. Oct. 2022 a TIA, NO case worker has been assigned in 15 months, so no income, just state Medicaid.

The youngest is 42, worked since 16. Has a younger wife, and a 6-year-old girl. They plan no more children, they both only work PT, at low-wage jobs, despite the fact he has welding, spray painting, and forklift skills. She had 2 yrs of nursing and failed one class by a few points. Plandemic ruined all that.

The 21-year-old makes more money than either of them ever made. Xray Tech on an Apprenticeship program with room to advance.

Just, damn.

Perspective from others makes me realize I got it very good.

May God bless you.

Why not both? Trump ruled like Reagan, but the purests hate his mean tweets.

You know, if I was Trump's advisor like Steve Bannon was, I'd have told him this:

"Ok, Mr. President, you have been elected to high office, partly because you dished it out as hard as the Enemedia did.

"But that was before you were elected president. Now it is time to project an air of dignity and to be presidential, as Ronald Reagan was.

"So, here's the plan, should you take my suggestions: Go on Twitter and post this. 'I have been using Twitter to (rightfully) counterattack those who have attacked me. Those days are over. I will respect the decorum of the office to which you have elected me. I will no longer use Twitter to attack individuals. Instead, I will only post my Initiatives, and report on their results. God bless you, and God bless America.'

"You will still be able to attack those who attack you, but do so through surregates. Do so through Mark Meadows, through Steve Bannon, through me."
