Quick hit list
amnesty was a travesty and the whole “tradeoff” myth was flat out a lie, he openly supported amnesty for years and even campaigned on it in a speech against Mondale. Bush Sr also openly supported amnesty and was pro illegal migration.
appointed the first female Supreme Court justice for political points and set the standard for DEI justices
openly expanded abortion and installed pro choice judges
sabotaged the Briggs initiative
pushed the propositional nation and America is an idea propaganda
started no fault divorce
gave the NeoCons the keys to the kingdom
started free trade agreements and was the “intellectual father” of NAFTA
started GATT/ Uruguay Round negotiations which lead to the WTO
banned open carry, created gun wait periods, made automatic guns illegal, lobbied for the Brady bill and assault weapons ban.
started mass non-war spending debts by the government
The only positive I could think of was that he deregulated some industries and fought against public unions. Boomer cons lauded him as a saint because he made core assets cheap, lowered mortgage rates, and tampered inflation.
I agree, but it's still useful to use some of his argumentation. Remind people that, as the great negotiator, the thought was he could make a few deals with the left and settle some of these issues forever. Look where that got us.
Never give them an inch.
The worst presidents are always Republicans. People never feel bad about whole-heartedly opposing democrats, which is why this shit is rammed through under republicans. I fully expect Trump to sign an amnesty bill before the end of his term. He'll probably also expand the NFA. And republicans will cheer for it the whole time because Trump has an (R) after his name.
The expansion of the surveillance state that Trump is promoting with Oracle, Nvidia, and all the ALPR companies is already absolutely dystopian.
Woodrow Wilson, FDR, Johnson, Carter, Clinton, Obama.
Reagan was bad, yes, but to say that Republican presidents are worse than the guy who brought us the Federal Reserve is ludicrous.
Woodrow Wilson had the 16th, 17th, 18th, and 19th amendments, the federal reserve, and the entirety of the disaster that was World War I. I'm sure I've only scratched the surface. If you ask me no one else was even close.
He also pushed hard for the proto-un called the league of nations and supported the terms in the Versailles treaty that made WW2 inevitable.
Not going to defend Wilson, but the President has fuck all to do with amending the constitution. Making promises/threats about unrelated legislation and giving speeches is about it.
Also the 16th was ratified before he took office.
The federal reserve has nothing on amnesty. We managed to live half a century with the federal reserve without everything going to shit, while the last half century shows why immigration is the worst thing that can happen to a nation. Also, you are forgetting the "Patriot" act. I'll concede that FDR and Johnson beat Reagan and the Bushes, but I'm really sick of all the republican sycophants.
The federal reserve is the foundation. Taking control of a nations monetary system enables you to take control of the nation itself.
The Fed has ruined our economy. Amnesty ruined our culture.
Amnesty ruined our people, which is far worse.
Crazy that you were downvoted. Next to demographic replacement, everything else is borderline fixable.
Whites survived monarchy. We survived empires. We survived revolutions and rebellions. We survived communism. We aren't going to survive immigration.
Immigration really is the only thing that matters. If they aren't Nordics, Celtics, or Germanics, they have to go.
I'd accept the argument that traitors are worse than enemies, but I won't take the argument that "this did bad stuff more slowly than the other guy would have when he promised to do none of it" is somehow worse.
Bush was a disaster, but he was nowhere near as bad as Obama, who was everything Bush was plus a whole lot more that was uniquely awful.
Theodore Roosevelt was much more gung-ho about entering WW1 than Wilson.
He was. Then his son died. Then he became a sad old man overnight.
If only you knew how bad things really are.
The dystopian technology I saw over ten years ago has only gotten worse and more widespread.
Well we'd have a better idea if you told us
I signed a whole bunch of NDAs, but the long and short of it is that monitoring technology is a whole lot worse than you imagine. The only question is when they'll get the balls to roll it out to the civilian population rather than limiting it to just government machines.
And if he doesn’t do that will you apologize, then shut the fuck up?
His industry deregulation allowed jews to conquer all media by buying up every company and consolidating them into just ✡6✡ media outlets. It also created an entire industry in media of making content solely to sell cheap plastic toys to children.
That was the case long before Trump took office. But you don't care about that, because you simply like to doom- and fed-post.
While true, he is also right in this case.
Talking about Reagan here, bro.
Congratulations on being completely illiterate. We’re not talking about Trump. Don’t reply again, sophist coward.
This is, unfortunately true, but it was happening before he came onto the scene.
I believe he was the first governor to sign a gun control law also. May not have been the first, but he was in the lead pack
Same with flooding the streets with the mentally disturbed homeless, Reagan didn’t start it, but he hammered nails in the asylums coffins.
No-fault divorce also started in CA under his watch.
Who is more skilled in deception than a trained professional actor?
I guess that never bothered anyone but it bothers me.
Hindsight is 20/20.
Remember he got shot, just like Trump.
His tune changed considerably after that. I suspect that Bush Sr. orchestrated it.
Did his tune really change that much?
Don't forget he was possibly a literal traitor for working with a foreign enemy to keep American hostages in enemy hands longer, to deny the release to his political opponent.
It does seem like, at the very least, his backers were fucking around by spreading rumors and trying to disrupt negotiations with Iran.
I should have added
No, Iran released the hostages immediately after he threatened to bomb them.
My point isn't that he didn't immediately free the hostages when het got in power, my point is there are serious allegations that he and his backers did backroom stuff to delay the release, so as to deny Carter a political win while the election was ongoing.
It could be bullshit, it's far from solid, but it's certainly possible.
You mean like every president since Wilson?
Every president since Wilson has delayed hostage negotiations with Iran...?
“Worked with foreigners to purposely undermine the country,” specifically. There was nothing new there with Reagan.
Your points are mostly correct, but this one isn't exactly true. Neocons hated how he ended the Cold War by negotiation rather than belligerence, and he also ordered Begin to halt the assault on Lebanon, calling it a "holocaust".
On the other hand, he did aid and abet proxy wars which made them very happy.
I can’t think of more NeoCon political figures that Bush Sr and Cheney and Reagan literally created their careers and stranglehold over the Republican Party. There would be no Cheney period if Reagan didn’t push him and campaign for him. There would be no Bush presidency without Reagan campaigning for him and picking him as his #2 publicly. The NeoCons were ecstatic with Reagan because he sent the military industrial complex into overdrive during “peacetime”, He spent 3/4ths of what Bush Jr spent adjusted for inflation, it was the overwhelming majority of the national debt Reagan skyrocketed.
And all of that is also true.
It turns out that when you create a massive military-industrial complex, it becomes awfully tempting to use it where use is not merited.
He also shuttered the insane asylums and is deified by the neocons and boomer-Right.
True. But to be fair, O'Connor had a pretty respectable voting record. Would easily take her over any of the male liberal retards on the court today.
amnesty is why California is and will forever be a blue stronghold, and that means the corrupt democrats can and do whatever they want
