The left/right divide on Reagan is amusing. The left should love him and the right hate him for being one of the biggest reasons America is so demographically fucked, yet it's reverse.
When you say "reason", what events are you talking about?
I think I'm familiar with the history but maybe just not assigning blame right. Cuz I didn't blame Reagan. I mean I would charge him with failure. But his intent seemed right? IDK.
He wasn't the only player by far, but Reagan supported the act and is revered by many on the right. As a sitting popular President, he could have likely put a stop to this but instead opted to support. Some of his statements supporting it sound like modern day shitlib claptrap.

Don't forget him closing down the insane asylums. That 1, 2 punch is something America much less the West hasn't recovered from.
That was Kennedy, not Reagan.
It was Kennedy who basically turned all mental heath treatment into out-patient care.
All because JFK wanted his lobotomized sister to live with the family again.
I hate him a whole bunch.
But my list of "good presidents" only has like three names.
Washington, Ike, Coolidge. Jackson maybe.
Sbout it.
Tyler was the best.
Do you listen to the Brion McClanahan show, by any chance?
Tyler too
