i have to say, i like a lot of you involved fine but the ronald reagan debate distracting from the best thread on the internet is tied with my least favorite thread hijack along with cheese puns in the 2023 recruiting thread and bozo's insatiable need to summon the ag freak every time he wants to replay the gerrymandering argument on every thread in this forum.

A lot of Trumpists proudly declare that "I'm not a Republican." That was certainly not the case with Reagan.

It was much more difficult to build that kind of cult of personality in the early to mid-80s.  There was essentially no social media, and people had 2 maybe 3 choices (Republican, Democrat, independent).  They also tended to be much more private in their political discussions.  (OK, there were the initial tendrils of Usenet but outside of academic dorks like me the vast majority of people knew nothing about that.)

It's like you're dreamin' about Gorgonzola cheese when it's clearly Brie time, baby.

Yup.  We knew it was going to happen.  The GOP knew it was gong to happen. 

But their voters, well, they're stupid

And I have stated as much.

The tangent of this thread was whether Reagan's "cult" really compares to the Trump "cult."  It does not, regardless of similarities they shared, or more accurately how Reagan's actions trace to the environment we find ourselves in today.

And the genesis of this tangent was my statement that a lot of MAGAts outright reject the GOP prior to Trump. A lot of Trumpists proudly declare that "I'm not a Republican." That was certainly not the case with Reagan.

 

Okay, hermano. The similarities in common are of no consequence. Got it.
