My honest, non-trolling assessment is this: If Reagan had served his governorship and presidency in the age of the internet, where people can instantly check rhetoric against the actual actions taken and bills that are signed, he would have been savaged mercilessly among conservatives on the web and rightfully so.
The first no-fault divorce law in the country and therapeutic abortion bills signed, tax increases every year from 1982 on, the gun control acts both in Cali. and in 1986 as President, restarting subsidized grain sales to the USSR, that believe it or not Carter suspended,the illegal alien amnesty which massively shifted the voting demographics of CA, losing it for conservatives forever, etc.
The record isn't good from my perspective.
I totally understand.
