My grandmother still receives big envelopes in the mail grifting money for some Reagan foundation, laden with the same rhetoric which fooled decent people into supporting him in the first place. Press S to spit.

The amazing thing to me about the Regan administration is all the blood and treasure used to defeat the Soviet Union, but a total inability to even to attempt to stop the bolshevik takeover of our institutions, let alone the massive difference in rhetoric used when discussing these 2 issues.

Effectively, by all appearances, he helped the ex-bolsheviks decommission their previous political machine. Of course, they weren't "ex-bolsheviks" in the sense that they had any repentance regarding bolshevism, but in the sense that they had adapted their beliefs to new conditions, albeit for the same ends. Friend Yizz did a great stream on the shared origin and goals of this just recently; I recommend it:

Nice piece. Reagan was like a finger trying to stop a leak in the Hoover Dam.
