Today in Labor History April 10, 1947: FBI agents visited Ronald Reagan (then president of the Screen Actors Guild) and his wife Jane Wyman, accusing them of belonging to a communist front group. To prove his loyalty, Reagan agreed to become a secret informer and went on to have a long and illustrious career as an anti-communist, union-busting, trickle-down asshole.
"Experts say the fissure among the Conservatives has long existed" Of course it has; it's the same in the US with the Right. That's because there are at least three different schools; fiscal conservatives, cultural conservatives, and religious conservatives. And they don't really have the same goals. #RonaldReagan famously got them all together in the tent and rebuilt the GOP. But it doesn't always hold.

#Today, March 30, in 1981, KGB agents Philip and Elizabeth Jennings worry about their mission after Ronald Reagan is shot by an assassin (The Americans, s01e04 “In Control”, 2013).
The only reason to use the term "Neo-Liberal" is because you want to blame Bill Clinton for all the nasty shit Right Wing Radicals have done since Reagan came to power in 1981.
It's bullshit. Right Wing Wackos fucked us over. So let's lay the blame where it belongs.
Volker Schlöndorff – „Die Geschichte der Dienerin“ (1990)
„A haunting tale of sexuality in a country gone wrong… See it while it’s still allowed.“ Unter dieser Überschrift wurde Volker Schlöndorffs Auftragsarbeit in den USA vor 35 Jahren an den Kinokassen beworben. Was wussten wir damals schon von dem, was diesem Land noch bevorstehen sollte. (ARTE)
The #ACA / #Obamacare is a popular but not overwhelmingly popular system (60% popularity). It left a lot of the problems with the #private, #forprofit #US #medical system intact and is vulnerable to #farright attacks.
Only 8% of #Democrats oppose #MedicareForAll, yet no Dem politicians pursue it. Ask why.
Reminder: This was the #RonaldReagan #Healthcare Plan made by the #Heritage Foundation who would then make #Project2025!
#USpol #Education
Dismantling of #DoE
That is all correct but just scratching the surface. 
Destroying education for the masses again is the aim

Vaikka wanha olenkin, en muista 1970–80-luvulta #ydinsota-pelkoa. Jotenkin silloin aina ajatteli, etteivät ihmiset NIIN hulluja sentään ole, edes #RonaldReagan. #Neuvostoliitto oli paha mutta ennustettava, ei se ollut syöksemässä maailmaa #ydintalvi-skenaarioon. Nyt sen sijaan en ole varma: #Putin ja #TrumPutin ovat kumpikin hulluja kuin käkikellot. Mistä sen tietää, mitä ne tekevät, kuin aamulla on tylsä olo eikä uni edellisyönä tahtonut tulla. #maailmantilanne #kolmasmaailmansota
Apparently, despite the currency value to the ruble...
The #ruble seems to be able to buy quite a bit.
The Reagan Library should be able to self-power simply from the energy emitted from #RonaldReagan spinning in his grave.
I wasn't a fan of #ronaldreagan but I feel bad for the fact that he must be spinning in his grave right now.
Je zou bijna gaan terugverlangen naar het Amerika van #RonaldReagan . Toch was het juist onder Reagan dat Amerika met de opmars van het desatreuze globalisme begon. En Trump lijkt het globalisme met zijn onmogelijke internationale politiek, in rap tempo weer af te breken; in ieder geval de dominante rol van Amerika in de wereld te decimeren. Ondertussen wordt de EU in rap tempo volwassen... https://nos.nl/artikel/2557832-oval-office-ruzie-toont-republikeinse-partij-van-reagan-bestaat-niet-meer

All #Obama did was regurgitate speeches that made people feel comfy & happy while not looking at the real shit he's done by getting us into more wars in the #MiddleEast and implement a #rightwing #healthcare plane by fucking #RonaldReagan think tanks!
Most of Trump's plans are inactionable. If he did is plan of #Palestine, most of you #Liberals & everyone in #America will find out what a real backlash is from the rest of the world!
