Then Democrats triangulated with neoliberal centrist policy with Bill Clinton in 1992 and 1996! Clinton coopted Reaganism!

Then came baby Bush. A Reagan redux, but a slow cowboy who led America to two wars and a economic disaster like never before!

Then came Obama. The first black president could have shaped America into a new progressive direction forever, but he didn't prosecute the banks and the Tea Party racists.

Hence the terror of Trump, a ****** who blights the white middle class. Trump is Reagan personified.

Government is the answer to our problems.

Gov't healthcare, access to food, water.
Check your medicine cabinet and make sure your prescriptions are filled up.

Your Marxist professors did a great job preparing you for adulthood. Unfortunately Ivanka Trump's first term won't allow your twisted view of America.

Socialist/Communist solutions to your personal needs will never see the light of day.

Everyone is lazy and entitled and want everything handed to them for free.
They have no idea free carries a huge price tag.

Oh, please. Government doesn't "run" anyone's life. It doesn't tell you when to get up or when to go to bed. It doesn't tell you where to go to school or where to work. It doesn't tell you who to marry or where to live. It doesn't even forbid you to smoke or eat unhealthily, if you really want to.

What government does, ideally, is provide infrastructure, try to keep you safe from bad corporations, occasionally help you if you need it, make your life better than if you were living in some failed state in Africa. It often goes astray but, hey, there are those failed states, if you'd prefer to live there.

Reagan had this fixation that government was at the root of all our problems.

It tells you you have to go to school
It tells you, you cannot marry without government consent
There is a Federal ban on marijuana.
So because Africa is a dump that's supposed to make me feel better?
The answer isn't if you don't like leave. That's the same thing the King George said. You two have so much in common.

You're so uninformed it's laughable

It died when Reagan served his first day in office. How can something that really didn't exist, die?
