He pretty much ruined the economy for decades...

Why do Republicans worship this jackass?

They worship him because they're told to by Fox News and the like.

My best friend's dad had a Ronald Reagan calendar. Such an odd thing to have.

There was more tax revenue coming in after his tax cuts than there were compared to the previous tax rates.

Ooo no shit

Tax revenue had already been increasing the 20 years prior to Reagan as well

Wasn't Reagan an idiot who had very little understanding of the policies that he's credited for?

People on this board act like America didn't want Reaganomics in the 80s

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1984_United_States_presidential_election#Voter_demographics

People who made $12500 - $35000 (equivalent to about $30k - $86k today) voted for Reagan at almost a 60/40 margin in 84.

If there is one thing Republicans hate it's a Hollywood actor speaking on politics.

If nothing else, and there is plenty..like selling guns to terrorists. Iran Contra, and basically creating the situation in South America that we are dealing right fucking now......

....It would be his despicable and almost genocidal handing of the AID/HIV epidemic.

The same applied when John F. Kennedy cut tax rates and when Bill Clinton cut tax rates, and neither of them were Republicans when elected into office as President. Funny how you ignore the decrease in tax revenue when higher tax rates are in place under whatever given President.

There have been very few years since 1960 that tax revenue actually decreased compared to the year prior so I fail to see how bringing it up was relevant in the first place

Remember when Bush called it "voodoo economics"? He was right.

If not for the whole Watergate thing, Nixon would be considered a top tier president. He got re-elected in a landslide.

Listen to Eddie Murphy's first album. Delerious I think. He jokes about how "Reganomics sucks" and other stuff. I remember the racist "welfare queen" comments, "No nukes" protests, the MLK protests (Reagan only signed the holiday law because Congress said they'd override the veto), the Falkllands protests, the anti-apartheid protests and so on. A lot of people were upset. For whatever reason people on the right lionize him, but people weren't happy.

Now we have Trump

Although I guess you could argue that Trump being a dumbass hasn't really hurt the US all that much compared to what Reagan did

They worship him because he was the only Republican president in modern history to be likeable and savvy enough for the media to treat him favorably. Everything else is secondary justification.
