Does he deserve to be idolized?
Does he deserve to be idolized?
Absolutely
His voice is /comfy/ not gonna lie.
The single most actively destructive administration in American history, though his handlers did most of the work while the demented geriatric B-movie actor was mostly just a puppet.
He was right about one thing.
The Soviet Union was weak, and political confrontation was a better policy than dentente.
He was wrong about literally everything else and ruined America.
But he got US policy towards the USSR right, and that was a huge accomplishment.
Spotted the nu-males
Cuck.
hahahahaha no
Gets a little too much credit for the economic upswing at the time, which was mostly just luck (though he did support it with decent policy).
He did a really good job handling the USSR

Stop voting for warmongering police-state plutocrats just because they're STRONG and MANLY.
The current situation in Eastern Europe is probably worse than it would have been had Gorbachev's political and economic reforms succeeded. There would also be a lot fewer murdered nuns in El Salvador or starved Kurds in Iraq.
Don't you need to go prep the bull for your wife's son's daughter's boyfriend?
>the gap starts just as bretton-woods ends and as unionization rates start to decline
No. He did nothing to actually undermine the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union destroyed itself from within.

Why tho? Also

Lol.
Fuck no. Only good thing he did was keep pressure on the Soviets which, among a fuckload of other things, lead to their downfall
Other than that, Ronald "Republican Jesus" Reagan was a pretty fucked president, domestic wise. Actually, he was bad foreign-wise too. The soviets was literally the only good thing about him. Remember how he was like "yeah no bro i totally didnt trade arms for hostages, except i totally did"
It's amazing how he's still held up to such high regard today because of charisma and neo-con fuckery

You just proved Our superiority. If we do go, we will be seen as Gods by the few in the future smart enough to ponder the past.
>that pic
>that post
never EVER talk about a wall, or illegals or just Mexicans in general during a conversation about Reagan
Was Reagan even a neo-con?
He had no real views other than that Bonzo had to go to bed, but neocons were everywhere in his administration, yes.
>we will be seen as Gods by the few in the future smart enough to ponder the past.
Does he deserved to be idolized? No.
Was he a bad guy like some people say? No.
You know, electing a dipshit isn't going to change birth rates, actually going out and having kids does.
Also the "wall" could be defeated by wire clippers at somepoints and trump's politics indicate a pro israel stance.
> a dipshit
A billionaire
>inb4 loan of a million dollars
Its actually harder to make 100 times that amount , let alone 1000 times that amount even with that loan. It was a loan btw and not a gifted sum.
>birth rates won't be affected by a wall
Not the point. The culture war in general is what makes the wall necessary, as long as their are liberals there will be those willing to not have illegals deported by ICE. All it takes is a phonecall btw.
>the wall will be barbed wire
Daily reminder that the Mexican government and the US sometimes have shoot offs and border skirmishes, so the wall has to be concrete and the Border Control needs more funding.
T. Castizo who wants to go back and execute cartel members instead of flee to other places and make it shittier by not confronting the overall problem.

nice
why are you guys falling for such obvious bait?
Can someone here explain to me why he was not at the very least impeached and at most imprisoned for his part in the Iran-Contra Affair?
>A billionaire
Making money isn't a political assest, the mechanics of microeconomics aren't the same as macroeconomics.
>ts actually harder to make 100 times that amount , let alone 1000 times that amount even with that loan. It was a loan btw and not a gifted sum.
The microeconomic sucess of a business isn't translatable into the macro economic process of running a nation state.
>Not the point. The culture war in general is what makes the wall necessary, as long as their are liberals there will be those willing to not have illegals deported by ICE. All it takes is a phonecall btw.
Amazing, so government spending which could actually be used to improve the economy via public works is going to be used to play into a "culture war" to placate a rabid electorate.
>Daily reminder that the Mexican government and the US sometimes have shoot offs and border skirmishes, so the wall has to be concrete and the Border Control needs more funding.
"It has to be concrete"
Official statements indicate otherwise.
>not being a Reagan worshiping neocon is being a nu-male

If this is what american conservatives continue to choose as a hero, then it only speaks of the standard of character they're willing to settle with. No, they'll suck any dick that waves a red flag and enables republicans to have a majority again. We only see it now with a unprincipled douchebag like Trump in office.
Sure, the truth is found in everything counter conventional. If societal consensus places the blame on something it can only mean the integrity of it.
Because they didn't have any evidence to tie him to it. They could and did sink those they had evidence against like Ollie North for example.
>>Its actually harder to make 100 times that amount , let alone 1000 times that amount even with that loan. It was a loan btw and not a gifted sum.
It's not just the loan that Trump was gifted by his father. The loan is irrelevant, what matters are the political connections and his 40-200 million dollars of inheritance he got through his father.
From that point on, it's a cakewalk to make more money, because returns from investments drastically increase with an increase of scale.
Why would they spend 10 years killing billions of imperial citizens when there's hordes of xenos and heretics around the galaxy
And presumably Obama should've been impeached for using the IRS to target political opponents?
Yes. Also for spying on political candidates, even if it was """""coincidental""""". And smuggling guns into Mexico and losing them. And funding terrorists. Oh and the whole ACORN vote fraud thing probably.

You mean public works like the wall? First off all Keynes needs to be knelt down and shot in the public sqaure, second of all simply stating "culture war" doesn't negate its existence
>it has to be concrete
>official statements indicate otherwise
First of all the actual prototype is made out of conrecte. second of all what you are referring to where the wall would not be out of concrete is where there are cliffs and largely impassible land barriers that would have a high casualty report in crossing. Yeah if you want to funnel the illegals into one area, have them kill themselves more.
>200 million
bwahahaha is that what you liberals actually believe in? First of all, no scale does not mean its hard to lose money in a highly capitalistic and competitive economy where , as you said, everyone is corrupt and no one really knows whats going on. Seconf of all
>implying you could do better
top pip /leftypol/ needs to kill itself
NO MEAN WORDS PLEASE
Taliban didn't exist until 1991 and I hate Reagan.
He really was the most "establishment" candidate. He ballooned the government in terms of spending, pulled the rug out from under the people, had his hands knuckle deep in all manner of shady, back-room, undemocratic affairs.
But he was an actor and he knew how to look the part of post-war "leader of the free world." So he becomes "one of the greatest."
Some real Chomsky-type, Manufacturing Consent shit right here.
Relevant video on the great Patriot Ollie North!
youtu.be
Yes all these retarded shit that presidents keeps getting away from started when people weren't up in arms when Nixon wasn't jailed by the fucking system!
Fucking Reagan he's always either Christ come to earth again or Lucifer himself with very little in between. I have read some very pro and anti Reagan stuff and I still don't know what to believe. Very frustrating desu.
honestly middle of the road president desu
the epitome of a post-war conservative presidency

>someone whispers something to him, he laughs

What did he mean by this? No, seriously?
>fascism
Why is leftypol too retarded to know the difference between capitalism, traditionalism, and marxism?
I didn't title the video.
Uh no.
His environmental policy began the era of destruction with little oversight.
His drug policy single handedly created the prison system we have now.
Taking down the wall was the only good thing he did.
>began the era of destruction with little oversight
Uh, no.
>His drug policy single handedly created the prison system we have now
Also no.
b-but he's handsome and he plays the part of a great leader!
lol he hated nigs and you know it senpai
That's why they use /leftypol/
The answer: If he did, so what? All of it predates Reagan by quite a bit and the prison system was actually worse before Reagan. You should check out Angola Prison if you want to know just what prison was like before the 80's. Death was be a lighter sentence than federal prison.
Too tired to argue senpai, but i agree on your point. have a good night.
Fuck NO

Watching numales attempt to mock men with backbone is like watching a 3-inch boner attempt to penetrate a fat black ass after tyrone's taken his wife
the cuck is truly a marvelous jester

right, we were supposed to pick the snide broad who was going to do all the same shit but worse
but that would've been okay because she's super dignified and only uses bad words in secret.
or are you talking about bernie who you were literally voting for on account of the fact that they had fridge magnets of him doing kickflips?
it's like watching a toddler vote for tony the tiger talk about politics
>whataboutism instensifies
trump is like a little boys idea of what masculinity is

So you're admitting it's all just a coping mechanism; you're trying to show daddy?
smoke weed everyday right, willy?
that was...an actual history lesson in full.
that fucker seth just taught me history going
>IT'S JUST A PARODY OF SCHOOLHOUSE ROCK
the whole time
son of a bitch it was actual real-life schoolhouse rock
this shouldn't be allowed
you misunderstand me.
i'm saying your "wielding" of the meme is weak. the sword is much too heavy for your sensitive numale arms to bear.
lmgtfy.com
lmgtfy.com
so fresh
so cool
much tolerance
teenagers voting is a mistake
If they made you this triggered to be spewing non-arguments insults and wild projections...
my point is that people didn't vote trump for his manliness
they voted for his not-being-hillaryness
that or his blunt shamelessness
but go ahead, keep defending these character shots like the election wasn't months ago and your ass is still burning from the pounding. keep illustrating how little you understood about people then and how little you've learned since.
keep acting like you have a single clue about what it means to be a dick-wielding fratboy bully
>lel i called HIM a cuck! haha the tables have turned!
for the record, i don't think that's a powerful insult. but when libtards start borrowing it, you just look that much more pathetic. i didn't even vote for trump.
but the thing is, your kind never had principles to start with. at least nazis can be funny. you guys are nutless.
keep going, keep complaining about toxic masculinity while pretending the other guys are the weak ones.
>YOU BIG DUMB M-M-MEATHEADS
Nobody brought up Trump until you did senpai and now you are acting as if we were shitting on Trump all along and acting all defensive. That is what I meant by whataboutism.
BIG WHOOP
THEY'RE STILL IDIOTS
>y-y-you don't have to be mean! look at me, i get it but at least i'm above it!
THAT IS YOU
THIS IS ME LAYING WITH YOUR WIFE

actually i didn't say no nothins about donald trump until some fag tried to redirect some other fag to /r/thedonald
He was shit. The person behind his success was based Jimmy Carter

NVM I REREAD YOUR POST
YOU UNDERSTAND NOTHING
Yes and? /r/thedonald is reddit half of /pol/, the nu-/pol/. But no, such a small distinction is enough for the TIDF to come and ruin the thread
>implying i have any ties whatsoever to the Taiwan International Documentary Festival
Slanderous commie.
The fact is there are non-men in this thread - ancaps and redditors and antifa - who think they have grounds to insult actual men and they need to be corrected. Not just in their maldeveloped character, but in their horrid, misinformed participation in "internet culture wars".
I know the cool memes. I know how they're used correctly and incorrectly. I wish I didn't have to read them at all, but if someone is going to use them, they should be using them correctly in a manner that is consistent with reality.
Thank you for your time. Reagan was alright.
Fun fact: the reason California is so cucked on gun control is because Reagan worked his ass off to make it that way.
>alternative facts
sounds good user
For everything except foreign policy and the military industrial complex.
No he was the original cuckservative.
>alright, I'll show you big gubment commies how ECONOMICS work
>cut tax rates for the rich
>increase military spending and corporate welfare

ha, that'll show them
american politics are beyond fucked though, reagan would be considered a socialist now because he still had a higher tax rate for the rich than we have now
Kinda
I liked his rhetoric, his actual policies were kind of meh though.
His speeches are still fantastic to listen to, up there with Huey Long.
nope
post-Kennedy presidents are garbage without exceptions
Does that include Kennedy?
nah Kennedy was ok
