Sorry. I get it.
Broken clock something something
Good thing our dipshit family and neighbors don't know what a demagogue is.
Nah, Reagan is just too woke now.
Trump literally said Reagan was "terrible on trade."
There is no person so sacred, living or dead, that they won't throw them under the bus in their quest to consolidate power and avoid responsibility for their actions.
That's the strange thing in stranger things right?
No, that's a demogorgon. A demagogue is a half god / half mortal.
I think you meant demi glace
No no. That's a demigod. A demagogue is a traditional Jewish house of worship.
You're thinking of a synagogue. A demogogue is an authoratative request made brusquely.
Woooosh
Close.
They're the Demogorgon, controlled by the demagogue Vecna who had the power to manipulate reality, prey on people's fears.
Hopeful Update: You don't need to promote the worst person in order to make a point.
It’s a sad day when Reagan’s foreign policy seems sensible.
Reagan is the reason why the middle class struggles so much nowadays. As long as the rich get fed, we can get the crumbs if we’re lucky.
Now, this quote is 100% spot on for the current environment. Like they say, even a broken clock…
Unsure if real...
Unwilling to look...
To be fair, he probably would've said the same thing about boycotting apartheid south Africa. That's what I initially thought this quote was from, thanks op for linking the source.
I wonder how big an effect this would have on conservatives if they could read.
I’m an American living in Germany. When Russia first attacked and Ukrainians described Russians as their “brothers,” I figured it didn’t really translate (not literally, but culturally. Europeans have a much longer memory and sense of national culture than Americans do).
I think I get it now. Canadians are my brothers. I’m from New England and when I was still there, got really involved with a folk dance that’s common along both sides of the eastern part of the Canada-US border. I have more in common with someone from Quebec (my first language was French because my mother’s side was part of the Acadian diaspora, just very far north) than I do with someone from Arizona. It doesn’t feel right that we treat them as anything other than a sibling.
My siblings are both very different from and very similar to me, I’m not saying that Canada is the same as us or should be annexed. We should support them doing their own thing as much as possible. One of my siblings has two master’s degrees and became a born again Christian, the other is an effortlessly cool restaurant manager. I’m neither cool nor Christian and I’m struggling with a master’s program, but I dance better than either of them. We’re different, but we perceive the world from the same place (even living as far apart as we do)
What a RINO!
Reagan was a lot of things but he sure wasn't a Russian asset.
It really shows how far down the bar is now.
I don't know. If Reagan said it, now I question if it actually is a good idea...
The heritage foundation got what it wanted then, and now. Fuck Reagan, he started this shit!
Damnnnnn……….ouch
As he busily built a highway towards the cliff edge...
Reagan would probably hate Trump, since he was a staunch free marketeer who was heavily engaged in politics and supported immigration, a staunch opposite of the Trumpist isolationism.
I upvoted this post to 666 upvotes. 😵😵😵
Fuck all these scumbags.
In 40 years I still won't be posting memes about Reagan/Trump being right.
Yet today protectionism is being used by some American politicians as a cheap form of nationalism, a fig leaf for those unwilling to maintain America's military strength and who lack the resolve to stand up to real enemies -- countries that would use violence against us or our allies.
Reagan is a communist.
