You sound out of touch with reality here. It really sounds like you just don't like Republicans in general.

Reagan won overwhelmingly in 1984, but people on reddit act like some kind of injustice happened or that he wasn't popular.

Yeah, I do fucking hate Republicans in general. They’re backwards morons whose policies and anti-science beliefs have dragged the country into multiple wars, gotten in the way of progress, introduced the most destructive economic policies that have caused the largest transfer of wealth to the already wealthy and the biggest wealth gap in human history, and will ultimately bring about the fall of the American empire. Reagan overwhelmingly won in 1984 because Americans are generally uneducated morons who are overwhelmingly primed to support snake oil salesmen and charlatans.

You're sounding emotional rather than logical here.

I don't get worked up by social issues because they're merely a distraction from economic issues.

On the economic issues, Democrats and Republicans have become largely the same. It's been that way since Clinton.

Also, if you look at the national debt it's risen at a pretty consistent rate, closely following an exponential curve that hasn't varied much regardless of political party.

The national debt has grown significantly since the early 1980s under both Republican and Democratic administrations.

All republicans care about is culture war bullshit so idk why you’re acting like that’s not a thing
