Fuck Reagan, such a sociopath.

ETA: Thanks for the awards, appreciate the sentiment - SOLIDARITY IS KEY!

Anyone else, please consider donating to the ACLU or a certain SMB character's legal defense fund. Eat the rich.

At least Reagan went through the great depression and understood how bad tariffs are, unlike genius T.

I have seen 3 Republican presidents in my lifetime. All 3 destroyed the economy. When will we learn?

the wealthy want the economy destroyed over and over again. i'd highly suggest reading marx on this. he described war as a necessary part of the capitalistic plan, since it destroys oversupply and resets the game in a way that favors the already super rich to come in and buy up assets cheaply.

since we can no longer have wars, thanks to the threat of nuclear anhilation, capitalists have devised a way to simulate what happens in war through designed economic destruction. we saw it with the tech bubble, the great recession, and then again now. expect it every 10 - 20 years.
