          Basically, popularized the neoliberal economic policies that have systematically ground down workers rights, pay, and civil liberties in America all while adopting an extreme interventionist attitude that led to him directly supporting fascists across the world, especially in South America.

          Ignored the AIDs crisis because it was killing gay people and drug users, so he loved it.

          Started the War on Drugs, which in addition to the massive death toll and creation of massive criminal empires to supply the need turned American cops into a paramilitary force.

          Like, we can be here all day. Guy sucked so hard in addition to all his outright evil he literally took scheduling advice for press conferences from a fucking astrologer. Just the dumbest, most malicious bastard to be in the office that we can’t prove owned slaves.

          Deregulation, “trickle down economics”, etc. He was one of the steps down toward the toilet the Republican party is today.

          no one has even given you the worst stuff so far for some reason?

          • after receiving reports that Saddam Hussein was using chemical weapons against his own people, Reagan funded… Saddam Hussein

          • and then after there was another attack on the Kurds, killing 5000 with a chemical weapon, Reagan swiftly went into action and… gave them more money and advice, AND vetod a UN resolution to condemn Hussein

          • he did make a law to make it illegal to do what he did in the last two points, but then not only continued to do it to break his own law, but broke it again in also selling weapons to Hussein’s enemy in Iran. So now he’s funding both sides of the war.

          • and then he did it again in selling weapons to Nicaragua

          • and then formed the Nicaraguan contra in order to help terrorists overthrow the democratic government

          • and did it again in Iran, which is what formed Al Qaeda.
