I get your point, and I love your humor, but Ronald Reagan was a fascist in a cardigan. I don't think he cared about the homeless since he let people out of state institutions to wander the streets. He declared ketchup a vegetable for school lunches, let people die of aids, spread, homophobia, used dog whistles like "welfare queens", and I could go on and on. If people think that that was "normal or traditional republicanism", they are right, because it was always just as racist and bankrupt without the overt Trump crudeness.
I understand there is going to be some people that are all in. But how does someone like this continue to think that this is ok and watch people avoid them? I don't think maga will ever come back to reality. It's their way or no way. I left the party once he was elected in 2016 and still not feeling the need to join a party. I really want that middle area to be the norm.
And the biggest one making Ronald Reagan roll over in his grave is our military on their knees rolling out the red carpet for the Russian war criminal. Unforgivable.
I suspect the answer is “religion.” There is a reason why atheists, agnostics and “nones” are such a fast-growing sector of the electorate. That reason is, I suspect, blind faith.
I am not against religion, but if God gave is a brain we owe it to Them to use it. The religious right does not appreciate that particular gift of God.
I ask these questions of every MAGA because I just don't get it...and I never will. I think at this point,they are so committed, they can't physically remove themselves from that belief.
Be sure to let us know if she responds. Your questions could be asked of so many of my own good Republican friends (I’m a No Party Preference).

while their brothers pick up trash in d.c.
I do think Reagan would have done like half the things you listed.
Two words . . . Fox News.
So True. Let's call it what it is--the Faux News Propaganda maching.

Self-deception. She can’t admit the truth, not even to herself.
Well said!
Hurah! all the things rolling around in my head!!
Well done, Jeff! Question, though. Can this Head of the OC Republican Party read???
I think the question should be "How did WE get here?"
Thanks for pointing out this podcast. I haven’t listened yet but the list of topics is intriguing.
Thanks. I used to follow Thomas Zimmer on Twitter, before it became Xitter - he is an excellent thinker!
