    It’s kind of that Nixon walked so that Reagan could run. The southern strategy put the Republican party on the path to eliminating all traces of being the party of Lincoln, but he also did some good things like creating the EPA. Reagan’s tenure pretty much had no redeeming qualities. Except, I guess, the vibes were pretty good, from what I hear.

      Not unlike how the incremental fascism of Bush, Clinton, Dubya, Obama, Donald I, then Biden gave us the Gestapo president we have now.
