In reply to the discussion: Democrats: Stop Running to the Center - Robert Reich [View all]Rhiannon12866
(239,158 posts)14. I was certainly no fan of Reagan, either, though his "beliefs" were the complete opposite of TFG's
He supported immigration, which populated the United States, he was exceedingly tough on Russia "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!, and along with the two other living former presidents - Carter and Ford - he supported President Clinton's 1994 Assault Weapons Ban which helped get it passed. My president was Carter and I hold Reagan's campaign methods against him which led to Carter's defeat, but, as you said, TFG is the only president who refuses to support democracy, on which this country was founded, and I'd support Reagan or any other former president (at least in my lifetime), over TFG who has no regard for democracy, this country, or the people any president is elected to support.

Trump's essentially a crime boss and the Republican Party has become his crime family.

I think Gaza became a single issue for many Democrats that drove them to not vote or vote third party ...

We've been moving right ever since Reagan. Trump is the logical outcome of our strategy.
