Correct me if I'm wrong here, but he could've vetoed it...right? In the past several weeks, I've seen a ton of posts hypothesizing why DJT pushed the COVID vaccines, and for the most part I agree that it was done to save us from a mandated vaccine. What's Reagan's excuse though? He seems to be impervious to criticism when you ask most conservatives, and it doesn't make much sense. The NCVIA of 1986 eliminated pharmaceutical liability with childhood vaccines, which IMO is a criminal act, if not an act of treason. Are we to assume that Reagan simply didn't read the bill?? Should we consider rethinking his place in history? I'll admit Reagan did a lot of good as president, but this particular piece of legislation is troubling to say the least.

Probably because Jimmy Carter was pretty terrible, and the oil crisis of the 70s/etc. Similar to how Bush Jr was defended for a long time by 'conservatives', by the virtue of not being Clinton or Gore.
He also as Governor of California passed No Fault divorce, and got the supposed fiscal conservatives used to perpetual budget deficits and ballooning US debt.
