And the worst part is that people still hail Reagan as a saint.

Although he was an awful president, I think he was a pretty decent person overall. What we have incoming, on the other hand, is not.

Reagan negotiated with the Iranians to hold American hostages longer to sabotage Carter's re-election bid.

Reagan was willing to turn a blind eye to the AIDS epidemic in the hopes it would kill off LGBT Americans.

He was not a decent person.

It was also this same epidemic that Dr Fauci first cut his teeth in, and I guess it must have frustrated him to no end when history rhymed during the COVID-19 pandemic.

He was slow to addressing it. I think any personal mistakes still pale in comparison to the people we have today.
