I lived through Reagan and it turned a lot of things in directions wrong for the citizens but it was nowhere near this. There was still “shame” preventing anything blatant, there was still at least a nod toward helping people, there was still some competence, there was still some function in Congress.

You could even argue that Reagan did “make America great” by commanding respect in the world and getting at least something’s done.

Trump is an 8 year old in a tantrums version of Reagan
