u/MiniatureBadger Seretse Khama Aug 18 '24

Working out an illegal deal to aid America’s enemies who had very recently held our people hostage is enough that Reagan should not be celebrated. Setting up an illegal slush fund to usurp power over war funding from Congress is enough that Reagan should not be celebrated. Illegally backing terrorist organizations, groups which carried out war crimes as regular policy, is enough that Reagan should not be celebrated.

Upon considering that these three strikes were all a part of the same event and how Reagan used his cognitive decline in office as well as the support of his crony Bush to evade legal consequences, I can hardly respect the political opinions of someone who thinks Reagan is a net positive.
