...which struck a note as i have heard other liberals say the same thing.
In the day, the libs loathed Reagan. They tried every trick they knew at the time to ruin him, but Reagan was teflon. He just spoke to the people directly, and they couldn't touch him. Then his policies went on to generate decades of prosperity and Reagan became ensconced historically as one of the greatest presidents.
Then Dems slowly began to try to rewrite history and what Ronald Reagan stood for and believed, and now they have begun to co opt him as one of their own. I heard another lib on this board misrepresenting Reagan a few months ago as well.
They try to claim it's just about hating Trump and claiming that we conservatives here on this board are his sycophants (Rule #1 btw), but obviously, it goes deeper than that since they still support Obama and Biden which wouldn't even be possible philosophically for an actual Reagan Republican.
Perhaps it is a "cafeteria conservative" thing, but really they don't support anything meaningfully conservative, and they misrepresent and misunderstand Reagan.
I smell a 21rst Rule of Liberalism in all of this.
This whole thing would be funny if it weren't so pathetic.
