It is so strange. After the Republicans turned a depression into the Great Depression with tariffs and then Watergate, it seemed like they were no longer relevant. Then Reagan came along, and was an extremely liberal conservative. Reagan "invented" the no fault divorce so that couples would no longer have to sue each other and declare one of them at fault. The republican party should have went extinct at Bush Episode 1... "read my lips, no new taxes" (he lied and was a one term president because of it).
Then Bush Episode 2, who was a complete idiot ... then Trump. Why? How can this stupid corrupt party still be relevant?
Religion. They are the "Christian party."
I mean, literally none of their actions reflect the teachings of Christ, but culturally they have entrenched themselves as the only religion Christians can choose (at least, from the view of many Christians).
I'm not very religious ... and most "conservatives" are a bit to unchristian and evil for my taste. A greedy drug fueled billionaire with 13+ kids by who-knows-how-many mother's should not be relevant in "conservative" politics, but there he is. We will not discuss how/why they tolerate Trump ... that makes even less sense.
They aren't conservative, they are fascist.
Truly. Trump and his ilk are like if you made the antithesis of Christ's teachings in lab...
Reagan wasn't Liberal by any stretch. He was economically Libertarian except for when he tariffed nations like Japan and he promoted gun control when the black panthers started making headlines.
No fault divorce was a very VERY liberal concept.
Because racist people like dog whistles
Stupid voters and corrupt money
Reagan was a fucking actor that was reading lines, shooting him would have done nothing. They'd just find a new electable moron to read the party's script.
If I had a time machine, I'd kill whoever at NBC greenlit The Apprentice. That's what started this ball rolling.
Same can be said about Hitler , well painter then. Wouldn't have stopped the war anyhow. Still worth doing
Ronald Reagan, THE ACTOR?!
Thank you for your service
TIL I'm a girl.
Heck yes, me too
On this blessed day we are all a girl.
"Oh my God, Still just an actor Ronald Reagan you're in danger!"
"What do you mean still just an-"
No one gives a shit about some B-list celebrity being taken out.
"somebody shot Ronald Reagan!"
"Who?"
"The Boraxo cleaner commercial guy!"
"Again I ask, who??"
Boraxo Ronald?
Yaaaaas queen. 🔫👸💅
SLAY 😈 Like the Doom Slayer I mean
Shoot, this is a particularly rough time to discover that
Assigned Female At Conception hop in whos driving this time machine
Right? I'm fuckin pissed.
Just as I start figuring out my identity and start expressing my truer, happier self, I also have to start looking out for my own safety. It makes me want to fucking rage.
I'm not sure it helps, but just know that there are plenty of cis-hets out there willing to use our privilege to fucking rage on your behalf.
egg irl
Feeling cute, might also keep that sob Kissinger from dying peacefully in his sleep.
You could just hop back through time doing this, and no one could ever catch you at the end because you hadn't even committed those crimes yet
By whom
You expect a senile old man to use proper grammar?
I assumed that was why she shot him
Yes he had cue cards
Unless it is Margaret Thatcher who went back in time, then she and Reagan would fuck.
If they aren't shooting now, they aren't shooting back then.
TBF if security were more lax and Trump's Itinerary were more accessible then we might be talking. Looking up all the places and times Reagan was is trivial.
Though I suppose you could travel forwards and then backwards but I think the hypothetical implies we don't have a time machine to use against the present tyrant?
You would need to target Jude Wanniski (conservative economist). Reagan wasn't the one who came up with supply side economics though he was an effective face of the message, reviving the Republican Party from its loss of credibility due to Nixon.
Part of it is just unbridled American level greed though. America has a good thing going post WW2, having horded 80% of the worlds gold supply by selling weapons to allies and staying out of the war until instigated by Japan in '41.
Also had a good thing going with the New Deal which helped pull the economy out of the great depression and bolstered / introduced many of the public services that are still in use today.
But no, dangle some marginal tax cuts in front of common folk who have the best standard of living in the world and apparently they'll vote for acceleration toward end stage capitalism.
Conservative policies need a (🤢) charismatic celebrity to connect with people and convince them to vote to destroy the country. DeSantis could never be this effective.
I have no idea how Trump, of all people, is so charismatic, but I'm not a racist.
That's pretty unrealistic. No girl has come close to shooting a president since Ford was in office.
We also don't have time travel. That seems like the unrealistic part.
What I'm hearing is that we can't elect a woman president but that other notable milestones related to the presidency are up for grabs.
You're not not hearing that, anyway
