Reagan didn't 'start it all,' but he was an absolute nihilist & he turbocharged the modern version of it. He begat Gingrich, Limbaugh and the GOP marriage with the Christian right — and he launched the war on higher education & civics education. He was profoundly anti-community. May he rot in Hell.

Reagan was elected a couple weeks before my 13th birthday. (I graduated high school the same year as Marty McFly). This decade has been “the 80s, on crack, meth and steroids”. Reason failed. Liberalism failed. Punk failed. Hope failed. Love failed. I feel 17 again. Not in a good way…🤷‍♂️😶

No, I think this has been present in the USA all along. it's the legacy of our earliest history.... but we can get beyond that by confronting it. I'm just finding it difficult to think of ways to fight today
