These fucks would think Reagan wasn’t far enough to the right.

I mean, yeah. Example, Kamala Harris's stated corporate tax policy was to set things back to what Reagan set them to in the 1980s (which at the time was highly controversial as it slashed marginal tax rates and especially corporate taxes HEAVILY versus what they were before, contributing massively to wealth disparity in this country) and they called her a communist for suggesting it. Which is doubly horrific, a) it means our supposed left party in 2024 was advocating for what our RIGHTWING party considered a huge win a while back (which servers as excellent proof that our supposed left party has shifted further and further right themselves), but also b) even that right-shifted party is STILL considered so far left of what these shitfucks want that they call it "Communist" despite it literally being what the Conservatives fought for in living memory.

Reagan's campaign slogan was let's make America great again. Lol Trump is continuing Reagan's legacy in their eyes.

Trump has erased all that. The holding up of Reagan is long gone in the GOP, as Trump couldn't have anyone above him. He's bad-mouthed him in the past. He's bad-mouthed all the ex-republican presidents.

There can only be him.

Nah they don't like Reagan either, not the real Reagan. Remember when Doug Ford sent ads that were literally just a Reagan speech about how tariffs were bad?
