Q props up Reagan to be this huge patriot. Everything that I look at points to him being a black hat. Don’t get me wrong, I want Reagan to be good, but I just need someone to explain how he was good. Some have said he was good till he got shot but why would Q continue to quote him and act like he was a patriot if he turned bad.
I’m not saying I’m right, because I’m probably not. I’m just confused and need someone to tell me why I was wrong.
that was a regrettable comment that I made, I spazzed out for a sec. I don't have any basis for that opinion, really thinking about it, I remember that the media didn't attack him like Trump, but they did portray him as stupid and senile, considering that, maybe he was a good guy caught up in some bad stuff, he did help end the "cold war" or at least it appeared so.
The media attacked him savagely. They made fun of him when he gave actual food to welfare recipients instead of vouchers for food. He saw that we were (over-) paying farmers for cheese, and that welfare recipients were buying cheese at inflated prices with gov't subsidies, and saved government $ by removing gov't and private industry middlemen in a total common-sense move. And he was ridiculed endlessly for it.
Sure they attacked him but not with anywhere near the intensity that they attack Trump to this day.
I'd say the whole media machine has kicked up a few notches since then. I remember that local stations were often independent back then, and so there was less uniformity of all types. It'll always be a subjective question, but I think they did their best at the time. It's even likely that, unlike today, the actual content was different from your media market to mine back then, so we could both be right!
