    He got policy advice from an astrologer, commited numerous war crimes, and is literally the source of most of America’s problems from the last thirty years.

      True. But he actually believed that shit, and was at least not a demented sociopathic rapist. An asshole, a bigot, a racist, stupid, and an authoritarian. But not corrupt (Edit: not ludicrously corrupt, as trump is), not a colluder, would never attempt a coup, actually could read, cared about people sometimes.

      Don’t get me wrong, I’ll hold forth all day on how Reagan sucked. You downvoters don’t even know. BUT. I disagree with him being shot.

      And Hinckley wasn’t even political. Just very incel, in a time before interwebs, trying to impress Jodie Foster.
