    You can make a serious argument that Reagan caused more suffering than Hilter if you count the long term effects of his political influence

      Alright man, I hate Reagan more than about anyone I’ve ever discussed him with, but this is some inflammatory bullshit. There’s a select few people you can realistically compare to Hitler, and they all ordered mass detainment/encampment/executions of people.

      Reagan caused a ton of societal and economic damage. All of which could of easily been rolled back if the American people just voted that way. He didn’t turn the country into a fascist dictatorship and declare things. He didn’t act alone. Reagan was a horrible racist piece of shit, but he was just the face of the republican parties will. Not a genocidal maniac.

        Last I checked Reagan was voted in. Americans were perfectly fine with the war on drugs and taking benefits away from welfare queens.

        Reagan signed bills that enforced the war on drugs, cut welfare programs, increased mass incarceration, emptied pscyh-wards, ignored the AIDS epidemic, oh and 100% responsible for the whole supplying weapons to a state sponsor of terrorism in Iran and and the raping, toturing, kidnapping, child killing Contras. Oh and knowingly letting cocaine into the country while arresting black and brown ppl completely deleting their lives with mandatory minimums giving crack addicts 50 years for 3 grams of crack.

        The only difference between Reagan and Hitler is Regan doesn’t have a final victim tally yet

          All solid points, all still not putting people in death camps and stealing everything from them. The hyperbolic bullshit of calling everyone Hitler in American politics is just childish.
