” Where did that country go, the one that elected President Reagan twice in sweeping victories? It hurts me a lot to think of how far we have let the country fall to where it is today. “
Reagan was the problem. Thatcher was the problem.
It took me a long time to realize it. But the Classical Liberal / Libertarianism of Reagan and Thatcher was the final destruction machine of the West.
De-Industrialization, offshoring, financialization, privatization, foreign ownership, “Free Trade”, Wall Street / City economics, mass immigration, empowering the EU.
Democrats didn’t do that. Labour didn’t do that.
It was Reagan and Thatcher.
The countries of the West have been changed out of all recognition by mass non-White and nonChristian immigration.
Reagan welcomed that. He believed in goofy utopian “propositional citizenship”, signed the first Amnesty. And here he is opposing a Wall, and advocating for open borders.

Because people of all persuasions use the Reagan name for politicking.
You attack conservatism and conservatives but you never openly reveal your own darkest politics, just a constant hammering against America and conservatives.
Frankly, you have a never ending negativity about everything, and you aren’t even an American, have never voted in one of our elections, avoided military service, and just have a black cloud always over your head and in every post on every topic.
The man asked for an answer on “what happened” ? I gave him an answer.
I know it isn’t the happy-talk and BoomerCon bravado that so many on here seek as a comfort.
But Reagan and Thatcher were failures which is why their countries went south so quickly (and not even after they left, but while they were there).
There is no American “exceptionalism” from the the Leftist decline that infests every Western country. It’s the same for all of them.
The one specificity of the USA is the US NeoCons are trying to drag us all into yet another European War. No sale !
You are so childlike, how such a childlike person became so permanently bitter, angry, and dark is puzzling.

Yeah, I detested his betrayal of Reagan. Drunk son W was the hit man firing Reagan appointees all over the administration from 1989 to 1993.
Got his butt wiped by 43% Clinton and deserved it.
I had to wear a hazmat suit in 2000 to vote because Gore is a moron. Regret voting W and did not in 2004. Iraq was a mistake by both.
I don’t claim any great maturity, but trying to be adult about problems requires admitting they exist, rather than denial and bromides and nostalgia.
All the Western countries are facing a Leftist death spiral which just gets worse and worse and worse. (most of the new items posted on FR are just illustrations from many countries of that fact).
Reagan Era Re-enactors have no solutions.
The topics change, but your dark foreigner posts never do.
I wasn’t going to respond to your disgusting posts, but having just finished watching a video of Kate Smith singing “God Bless America,” I have to. You could not be more wrong. It would take almost a short story to explain why, but suffice it to say that the root of the problems we face today go back a very long time — at least to the Woodrow Wilson era if not earlier.
Wait until I start posting about Winston Churchill.
That’s the one that really sets off the BoomerCons.
Wait a minute! Are you implying that solving problems requires more than meaningless jingoistic clichés?!?!?
----------------------------------------
Not at all !
In addition to meaningless jingoistic cliches, diversionary and distraction patriotic songs and musical performances are also required.
