>>542314428Because most on the right like that stuff you mentioned? Maybe not 100%, but most. The only thing that gives modern Republican voters pause with him is signing that amnesty, anything else they'll generally defend him on. He won in two massive landslides in the 1980s and people like that decade.

>>542317069He was a dispensationalist evangelical though. His admin is the reason the CIA turned huge parts of Latin America into judeophilic evangelical/pentecostals
>>542317486That wasn’t the cia’s doing, that was the conquistadores. He just set up regimes that slaughtered the rural pagan stragglers.
