Reagan 🤝 Trump

18 comments

So an insane clown, prone to tantrums, has taken the highest office of the largest empire on the planet and is turning it into a world of ruin… isn’t this just the plot of FF6?
- We didn't really have an Emperor Gestahl before Kefka though.

I mean, Reagan was the starting domino that got us here.
- Nixon was the starting domino. You can draw a straight line from Nixon to Trump.
  You could go all the way to the Three-Fifths Compromise honestly but it's not as clear of a line but the components are certainly there.
  
  It’s almost like all of our history has led to this.
  Seriously, imperialism, genocide/manifest destiny, slavery, the botched reconciliation…
- Nixon too. His Southern Strategy is what Trump used to get elected twice.
- More like Wilson → Nixon → Reagan. This shit is OLD.

  Your referencing a what if video? There's a reason why Wilson was elected 4 times, bro.

..... worst so far.
America has a habit of scraping the bottom of the barrel and still going further

You can draw a straight line from the Nixon administration to the Trump administration. Republicans have always been the same insane pieces of shit like Trump is today. We are not going through anything new.
- Farther than that even. Installing someone like Trump was the goal of Prescott Bush and his cronies in the 30s with the business plot.

Next guy to suggest a celebrity president gets put in front of a sandblaster until they say sorry.

I don't know, Nixon was pretty racist and pushed a lot of laws to put certain people in prisons.
- If watergate happened now it would just be another day of the usual
- But also founded the EPA. Due to public pressure but still.

Everyone really just moved all of GWB's sins onto Obama, huh
