Was Reagan a good president or is he just a Conservative meme?
Hes mostly a meme. That's not to say you couldn't argue he was a good president, but hes glorified beyond belief. His policies are frequently blamed as the source of a variety of issues we have now. Especially concerning the growing deficit and debt as the trend started during Reagan's administration. His foreign policy during the cold war is obviously extremely controversial. Republicans like to worship him like he was some sort of god, but in my opinion hes pretty much just the last non-shitty republican president and not worth the praise he gets. On the other hand there are some stupid Clinton-level conspiracies the left frequently accuses him of.

The economy was prosperous under Reagan and wages were high, but apparently, he did increment the deficit and give amnesty to 3 million illegals.
I am not old enough to remember president Reagan's administration so don't take my word for it.

Mrs. Reagan ran the country after Mr. Reagan had a break down or some shit.

Thats all I know.

He had alzheimer's. He was diagnosed well after his presidency but a couple people claimed to remember him having memory lapses during the presidency, but still was pretty much functional.
>>81316961
Experts agree he was one of the worst presidents in decades and it took decades to fix his mess
>>81316961
He was mentally retarded compared to based Trump.

He was an effective communicator and projected that his line in the sand shall not be crossed. But yeah, we've been dealing with Reagan blowback for a while now.

(((Experts)))
>>81316961
He was a good president and an legendary communicator but he wasn't a god or an amazing president. A lot of his policies are actually causing some of the shitty stuff today.

In 1960-1980, Japan destroyed American industry with low cost of Japanese workers.
America needed to change industrial structure.
In 1990-2010, China and Korea destroyed Japanese industry with low cost of Chinese and Koran workers.
Japan needs to change industrial structure. Prime minister, Abe's role is same as Reagan. Abe's work looks good.
He opened up the GOP to the Christfags and turned it into a neocon hugbox
If we still had a pre-Reagan GOP, Obongo would still be defending muggers in the courts of Chicago

People vastly overstate how much Asia affected the American manufacturing industry. The increase of per worker productivity in the US due to the advancement of automation technology has probably had 10 times the influence on manufacturing than competition from any Asian country.
>>81316961
He was a pretty good president but current Republicans have a tendency to put him on a fucking pedestal. There were plenty of bad things that went down under his administration.
So kind of both.
>>81319287
Everyone blames him for the drug war, buy remember during the Crack epidemic of the 80's, everyone was watching their country go down the shutter and beige lost to drugs. The populace wanted something done about it. That's why we have the drug laws we have.

He stuck it to the commies though. 4/10 overall.
>>81316961
Democrats liked him and voted for him in droves. Fucking landslide. He was that grandad with a backbone nobody fucked with but you felt he loved you
He liked Jellybeans and had a boner for Thatcher.
If you like Neoliberalism then yes.
He changed America from a country that kissed ass back into a country that kicked ass.
He let AIDS spread
>>81316961
He was a good cheerleader that actually cared about the country. His policies were shit, but he was better than any president since him. Its mostly due to his lack of understanding of economics and how to run large organisations. That's probably what makes Trump so much different.
So presidential wish he wasn't such a cuck about the Falklands though
Do you think we will ever get a strong US UK tie again? Obama being a nigger doesn't like us at all.

He was quite good at arguments. Listen to this one:

I like to think that our exit from the EU will inevitably mean more Anglo-American ties. Not with the Democrats though.

Why are there men in the audience of the women voters presidential forum?
>>81323099
>women voters presidential forum
Because the 80s were still awesome and nobody cared about political correctness .
first term: Did the important work of restoring confidence to the nation.
second term: meme.
1) tripled the national debt
2) started the war on drugs
3) oversaw continued breakdown of unions
4) oversaw trade moving to China and Japan
Reagan was a fuccboi, conservatives only like him because strong morals and strong stance against the Ruskies, ignoring AIDS and getting thousands killed in Latin America
Although he was probably less bad than all the presidents who came after him.
>>81316961
Meh
He fucked us so bad on gun rights fuck this guy
>>81316961
He was based as fuck. Told protestors to fuck off, had a real good sense of humor, charm, was smart. Economy was great, gas was cheap, there were jobs fucking everywhere. We had a LACK of workers because of the abundance of jobs. Some dindus accuse him of flooding the negro communities with drugs/cocaine to hook them and kill them off. Probably true.
He was bretty gud, but no president was perfect. Some just got lucky.

As someone who actually lived through the 80's, here's my take on it.
The lat 70's were fucking shit. Very similar to today, except people were worse off.
Things looked bleak, we had a weak as fuck pussy president who meant well but couldn't inspire or lead for shit, very similar to today.
Then reagan won, and it was a breath of fresh air. He stood up to our enemies, projected strength, and made people proud to be American again. Yes, he had his problems and controversies, but they were nothing compared to the bullshit of today. Oh no, we sold arms to iran to get hostages released and fund the contras in spicaragua? How does that fucking remotely compare to basically giving arms to al-qaeda in syria and basically sponsoring the rise of ISIS, among dozens of other huge fuckups of the current administration?
Anyway, if you take a look at the state of the country when reagan got in vs the state of it when he left, you have to come to the conclusion that his presidency was massively successful.
All he did was lower taxes, and made it easier for Companies to start up. In the end that makes your country better. He really didn't do much desu, he just let economy go nutts.
Definitely an exceptional leader, but not necessarily an exceptional president.
Very much like JFK in that regard.
>>81316961
Hmm. He's was solid. 8/10. He also had dementia the last 3 years of his presidency. The republicans have built him up as much as possible. Reagan was actually very liberal about most things. He was a rino
I'd rank Clinton and Obama over him pretty easy

>>81317601
Its entirely because of his rhetoric. He did more harm than good. But he gave a damn good speech.
I hope Trump isn't going to do the same thing.

You just isolate your industries and produce a better product. Holy fuck is that such a hard thing for people to do these days? A Kia isn't superior to Honda, both are arguably superior to the shit we produce here in America. Yet our car companies, for one reason or another- and God certainly doesn't know why- still keep making money and turning out shit products that not even Americans themselves really want.
>>81329282
Don´t most brand new cars get recalled after a few months because they are so shit?

This. He fucking sold us all out to the elite.
