I carried a sign for Ronald Reagan in 1980.
I carried it for a corny, decent, square old man, and Uncle Joe reminds me a lot of Reagan.
Republicans in 1980 supported abortion as a way to reduce poverty and pay fewer welfare benefits.
We didn’t make up a single, solitary lie to tell bigots, racists, white nationalists, Jew haters and Russian lovers they would have loved hearing.
We loved to hear Ronnie tell us America was the shiny city on the hill and America’s last, best hope for all mankind.
And Reagan grew up with a Campbellite mother rocking his cradle.
He was the last Republican President who could listen to Tramp on the Street, and understand the meaning of the song.

These new Republicans are so incredibly nasty, hateful and vile, you know?
This nation has borrowed 32 trillion for the rich men who live in gilded towers and begrudge a young man who’s went off to college a few thousand dollars of student loan relief, that Ronald Reagan set up, in 1981
I didn’t qualify for a student loan until Ronald Reagan reformed the program.
Mama drove over to Hermitage with me to co sign or pledge the farm, and the Bank of Hermitage loaned me the money instead, on my signature alone, backed by Ronald Reagan.
Some days I can barely stand it, what became of the Republican Party.
There was a day we hated Trumps and bigots and white nationalists and Russia lovers and Jew haters, and liked college boys, you know?
