>Increased income inequality>Gave millions of spics amnesty>Gutted American manufacturingHow did boomers fall for this meme? This retard was an actor. Not a businessman, not a scientist, not a lawyer, not a historian. A fucking ACTOR.
>>519872193boomers will drag this country down until their last breath. My parents love brown people as long as they support Trump
>>519872193The Republican party has put vibes over results since at least the mid 70s

/pol/tards whining about Reagan clearly don’t get history. He didn’t just boost the economy. He won the Cold War, crushed the Soviets, and made the U.S. the world’s sole superpower
>>519872671Every one of Reagan's "accomplishments" was a short sighted ploy for temporary wealth and power at the expense of long-term stability. He made America the world's sole superpower for a time, but in his ardent support for free trade and immigration he ensured that we would be weakened in the coming decades. What exactly did Ronald Reagan do to make 2040 America more prosperous, more peaceful, more cohesive, safer, and more powerful?
>>519872193> >Increased income inequalityOkay leftist faggot. Income inequality is supposed to happen in a capitalistic society. Capitalism rewards innovation and risk taking enabling people to rise up. The richer get richer and the poor get richer too. America is the most capitalistic country on earth and its poor are richer than 75% of the world. America is the only country where poor people are fat. By contrast in poor countries being fat is a sign of being rich. Simply in capitalism the cream rises to the top and while leftists reeee about the rich and muh income inequality they fail to acknowledge that the poor get richer too. Trickle down does work and the tide rises all ships. Would you rather have income equality and everyone be equally poor or have massive income inequality where the rich and richer and poor are richer as well? Get fucked leftist faggot
>>519873183>The richer get richer and the poor get richer tooThen why aren't the poor richer now than they were in the boomers' time? We can't afford houses, our taxes all go to minorities and old people, the white collar jobs are being gobbled up by immigrants, the blue collar jobs are being gobbled up by outsourcing and other immigrants. Young people cannot afford families. That is as big of a threat to the future of our people as a foreign invasion is.>Would you rather have income equality and everyone be equally poor or have massive income inequality where the rich and richer and poor are richer as well?The latter obviously, but the poor (and more importantly the middle class) are not richer than they would've been had we pursued nationalist policies in the 1980s.
>>519873447> Then why aren't the poor richer now than they were in the boomers' time?WTF are you talking about? Besides housing affordability the poor today have it better in every single aspect than the poor in time of boomers
>>519873016the Clinton years were the same. endless short term money as the US was continually being gutted.
>>519873788>Besides housing affordabilityFucking lmao. Well I can't afford to live anywhere that's not a complete hellhole, and I can't raise a family, but at least I can buy more manufactured slop from China or whatever. Do you not understand that housing is the single most important expense to keep affordable?
>>519872671>won the cold warhe just happened to be in office when things went down. plus that's not even true. it completely collapsed when clinton was in office, and the clintons were friends with boris yelstin
>>519872193Because they believed Jimmy Carter was going to knock on their door and demand they surrender their guns. They actually thought that was possible.
>>519873953Maybe move somewhere more affordable? The reason housings so expensive is because homes are bigger. Most American homes are over 3000sqf 5 beds 3 baths with ac etc. By contrast most boomers grew up in 3 bed 1 bath 1500sqf homes with 5 siblings. When boomers grew up even middle class ones were living similar to poor families today. They weren't living high off the hog by any means
>>519874199You cannot be fucking serious right now. No, housing isn't expensive because houses are big, it's because LAND is more expensive. The MAJORITY of the value of property is the LAND, you mouth-breathing retard. >move somewhere more affordableWhere? I should uproot my life, throw away my career ambitions, and move to the middle of nowhere where I have no hope of ever finding a wife, just to get by? Even if I did, you're proposing an individual solution to a systemic problem. Expensive housing means that young people cannot "grow up" nearly as fast as they would if it were cheaper.
>>519872193Cope. He hated tariffs.
>>519872193>>Increased income inequality>>Gave millions of spics amnesty>>Gutted American manufacturingBut enough about LBJ
>>519874404Are you retarded? Like genuinely, do you lack the mental facilities to parse information?
>>519874446LBJ was maybe the only president in recent history worse than Reagan.
>>519872193
Boomers hated Carter even though he was more fiscally conservative than Reagan could ever hoped to be. As a matter of fact, he was more fiscally conservative than every single "conservative" president after him.
>>519874827Democrat socialists blame republican presidents for what they did, there's a reason Nixon is considered the world president for environmental activism and a war he didn't start.
>>519874961worst*
>>519874446LBJ was a murderer that killed Kennedy, comparing anyone other than Woodrow Wilson to him is unfair to the other guy.
>>519874961Did Reagan not push for free trade? Did he not have an atrocious immigration policy? Did inequality not worsen under his administration?
>>519872507>Trickle downEven Bush denounced it (before he got the nemo and straightened up)
>>519875106*Memo
>>519875034>Free, but fairHence the 100% tariffs on Japan
>>519875034Reagan was governor of California when LBJ granted blanket amnesty to the dozens of millions of illegals in the US. When Reagan became president he told all the Californians hiring illegals that hiring illegals would no longer be tolerated, and in exchange he would legalize 3 million illegals of which they had brought into California since LBJ. They ignored his demands and took the amnesty for their slave labor
>>519872193> not a businessmanI like how you shill for the orange pedophile. you could have said economist erroneously and come out as more intelligent.He set the precedent for niggers and other "actor" tier clowns to be elected, be grateful. apparently not women though.When they elected that WW2 general, that was a Maury moment.
>>519872193dont forget he also caused: >brady bill waiting period for guns >expanded our debt >closed all the asylums because thats "communism", just send them out on the streets >expanded military industrial control setting the stage for the patriot act and the 90s and 2000s >gave israel BILLIONS in aid >ollie north and the IRAN contra thing I could go on lol, this fuck ruined our country arguably more than anyone else ever has
>>519875205It should not be an "exchange" that you enforce some laws and don't enforce other laws. That's just being a spineless leader.
>>519872193and yet Ronald Reagan was the greatest president of the 20th century because he won the Cold War. Every single president since was just a big pussy. Even Trump, despite his best efforts, will chicken out at the first opportunity. They call it TACO for a reason.
>>519872671I'm learning to speak both Russian AND German unironically, not just to bust my Chicano brother in law's balls.
>>519875316The country was already fucked, you can't grant blanket amnesty to people that the founders wouldn't have even considered human just so your slave plantations can have low wages
>>519875383Are you arguing in favor of Reagan?
>>519872193>Gutted American manufacturingwasn't that Clinton and NAFTA? Can you describe how he did?
>>519875425No I'm saying that the californians had no reason to ever stop importing dysgenics especially after LBJ opened borders in fact Reagan failed to solve this
>>519872193It made sense at the time, because we wanted to beat the Soviet Union. Obviously, we paid a price in the long run, so here we are. Reagan himself had a similar view of FDR, who he admired at first, and said he had the right idea during WWII, but that after the war was over, the same FDR policies were ruining America's ability to defeat the USSR. Policy is like a pendulum, and depends on context and desired outcomes. I mean, we can say the same about everyone, even Lincoln. At the time, it was good that Lincoln beat the Jewish bankers who controlled the slave trade. In the long run, we got stuck with niggers nigging everything up. History doesn't have good guys and bad guys over the long-haul, just in their respective moments.
>>519875489The reagan administration made the first preparations (i.e giving amnesty to latinxs was going to make it easier for mexico to accept), clinton could've never accomplished it without them
>>519875489American manufacturing started dying when the socialists started putting emissions regulations on all the power houses and manufacturing plants which started under LBJ while mandating the hiring of niggers. In the 70's they ramped these up even further and required entire industries to transition to newer technologies while preventing them from laying anybody off
>>519875993You realize it's both of the parties right?
>>519876078did I blame any party?
>>519876104Seems you're offloading blame to just the Dems.
>>519872193Because Boomers didn't live the world created by his policies. They still for the most part did well enough based on the policies of the previous era. We are the ones now living in the shithole which was created by his Neo-Liberal Capitalist poison.
>>519874365Yes the land is more expensive but they're also building a house on it that 60 years ago would be considered a mansion
>>519876204Dems and Republicans don't operate based on who will benefit the people the most, they operate on "how can I fuck over the other party so my party gets more money"Republicans happily signed civil rights and open borders because that destroyed every democrat city in the US, they probably happily signed the emissions regulations because that too killed all the democrat cities. But then again the democrats were literally begging for it
>>519872193>Increased income inequalityYou're saying it as if it's something unexpected for a Republican to do.
>>519876366>Yes the land is more expensiveThat's all that you need to fucking say you drooling retarded boomer. How old are you?
>>519875993>American manufacturing started dying whenOil crisis of 1973 and 1979.
>>519872193>Gave millions of spics amnestyNot just spics. Fuck him though. He's like biden.
>>519876616Remember when the democrat government nationalized Texas oil because it was shitting all over california and handed over the monopoly to private companies that were complaining about independent wells and told everybody they did it to save the oil and then acted surprised when the texas oil industry was incapable of producing or refining enough oil to withstand OPEC?Remember wen everybody in texas called it socialism?
>>519876784Biden deported spics (all whom started coming under the trump administration). Conservatives love spics. Democrats put abortion clinics in their neighborhoods.
>>519876898And how many spics did biden import
>>519877000About the same as trump, the difference being he actually deported them.
>>519877114source? because biden was hitting like 200,000 illegals a month
>>519874961Nixon pioneered environmental action. He started the epa
>>519872193Reagan was a terrible president. Come tariff these NUTS
>>51987656533
>>519877312exactly, a perfect example of socialists covering their tracks with talking points. When in reality it was LBJ and his predecessors that created all the components of the EPA, Nixon just combined them
>>519877181>>519877114They're both shit, you fucking retards. Arguing about which smells worse is a moot point. You niggers are worse than football fans.
>>519874070>he just happened to be in office when things went downThat's not true. Reagan was good friends with Gorbachev, or at least he would express that they got along well and were willing to negotiate.
>>519877352I guess you're just out of touch then. The kind of stuff you're saying is in line with what a 60 year old would say. Immigration and free trade are terrible for America. There's no way around it. It makes the rich richer but it guts the middle class and the actual power of the nation. Immigration also destroys the nation just by itself. You need to get your head out of the sand and realize that we've been going down a very dark path for 60 years, and it can only lead to ruin if it's not swiftly and brutally reversed.
>>519872193Also signed into law more gun control in 1986, making it super hard to get full auto weapons legally.
>>519877434I don't know the democrats now being composed mostly of illegal immigrants certainly makes them more inclined to keep filling their shitholes with more illegal immigrants for votes
>>519872193The first president for boomers even though he wasn't a boomer himself.
>>519877513I agree with you. I was only saying the poor today have it better than the poor of the past. And idk how you could disagree with that
>>519872193>A fucking ACTOR.trump was a reality tv show host
>>519872193It's funny how Democrats ignore the previous 10 years before that which had high inflation, high unemployment, and massive economic instability because of Lyndon Johnson's war on poverty and Vietnam War that he just didn't fund. Nixon also didn't help with suddenly going off the gold standard, but Johnson is primarily to blame for the economic woes that Reagan had to fix. Nixon had the foresight to make the US the reserve currency backed by the Arabs taking US Dollars for oil, but that took time to implement. Johnson fucked us hard, but Democrats ignore that because he passed Civil Rights
