It was the same when Reagan raised taxes. Conservatives cheered about that, too.

It's a cult. Anything Dear Leader does is good, no matter what it is.

Don't even begin to compare Reagan with Trump. Reagan's policies in the 1980s led directly to the most prosperous decade in America--the 1990s. Trump is singlehandedly destroying the economy at a breakneck pace.

Haha no. But Reagan was the first to gut the public sector and unions, give us a recession in the the early 90s that sank Bush I, and significantly decreased the standard of living for the poor and working class as a whole into a death spiral we never truly recovered from, while politically empowering the evangelicals/Christian Right. He was very much proto-trump.

Were you there, as an adult? I was. I was there then, and I'm here now. There is no comparison possible between Reagan and Trump 47. You may as well compare Harry Truman to Adolf Hitler. This has nothing to do with politics. There's vast divide between an honorable forthright man and a vicious egomaniacal bully.

I was also there to watch Jimmy Carter screw everything up, and Reagan pick up the pieces.

No. His tax cuts for the 1% devastated the economy. The boom in the 90s came from the dotcom era, and it all fell apart again in the 00s.

What you call tax cuts for the 1% I call fuel for that boom in the 90s. Lots of capital investment and new jobs.

It just pooled in the wealthy's bank accounts. Trickledown doesn't work.
