HIGH HATRED OF PROGRESSIVES AND CONSERVATIVES

Do we all remember how American progressives ridiculed Ronald Reagan during and after the elections where he defeated Jimmy Carter?

We did and said all kinds of things:

  1. We ridiculed Regan at every chance we got
  2. We made all kinds of memes of Regan acting with a monkey, this Western movie hero with no brains etc.
  3. The late night shows increased its viewership with Reagan jokes
  4. New York Times and Washington Post ran critical articles of him all the time
  5. We attacked Nancy Reagan accusing her of of controlling her husband
  6. We Democrats held Iran-Contra hearings with full day time TV coverage and called it the Nuremberg-like trials
  7. Phil Collins made this music video of "Land of Confusion"

So what happened? Regan got re-elected, was called the "Great Communicator" and now ranks as one of the 5 great Presidents of the United States. The history judged him very differently than we progressives did.

Progressives hate everything on other side and the Conservatives hate everything on our side. Not one side recognizes anything good said or done by the other side. It is just spewing hatred every day. That is toxic and does nothing good to anyone.

We are now doing the same thing with Trump. Everything he does not matter what is bad to us. Everything out Democrat leaders did not matter how bad but we loved it.

Can we not be better than that?

True, but Trump was in a movie too. He played the part of Clyde in "Every Which Way But Loose." That title explains what he is doing to America right now. He is turning us every which way but loose and threatening that he may not leave when his time is up.

I wasn't even alive during most of his presidency and I know how terrible a president he was. how is this even debatable at this point?

That is the most ignorant statement I can't imagine anyone making.
you weren't there but you feel that you have the right to pass judgment.
Reagan clearly ad is floss. if you're not willing to discuss them point-by-point.
you're just demonstrating your ignorance

@m16566 I'm ignorant for knowing "history"? Hate to break it to you, but humans have been recording it for some time now..

since you study the history let's go through it point-by-point.
how did you form your opinion and why?
what historical facts LED you to this opinion?
the Reagan presidency have many positive in many negatives what do you think?

The most unfortunate part of the Reagan administration was Phil Collins releasing more inane and predictable musicality.
