      Regan was corrupt, selfish, racist piece of shit who was terrible for the economy. But he would have vomited to see what Trump is doing.

        I don’t know. I think he would be shocked and aghast at the brazenness… at first… but then get over it and support him, despite disliking him personally, just as virtually every other person in his party ultimately did.

        One of my uncles claims to be a Reagan Republican, and a Log Cabin Republican. Yet he’s constantly defending Trump’s administration and the current party despite everything they say and do pointing towards them wishing they could just take him and all of his friends out back and shoot him.

    The complaint is that they edited out parts of the speech for brevity? Leaving the final message pretty much intact, but cut down to a more reasonable amount of time? Lmao

      The point is to complain that it’s edited, and the repubtards will accept that as evidence that the message is “manipulated” even when it isn’t. It also divert the debate away from what he was actually saying, to a debate of manipulating the message is wrong.

      Republicans do this shit ALL the time, and it works because there are too many stupid Americans.

    Republicans should be thanking Ford for revealing that Reagan was an extreme-left antifa whackadoo. To fully realize its potential, MAGA will have to turn its back on Marxists ideas like competition, free markets, and trade.
