I was still in high school during Reagan years so couldn't vote yet. But there really is more to I would add to Reagan's historical record. Iran-Contra and working back channel diplomacy to undermine Carter and not let the American hostages be freed until January 20, 1981 the day Reagan was to be inaugurated.
Also crack cocaine flooding the streets of predominantly poorer, black communities in places like Compton/South Central Los Angeles and Oakland/Richmond in the Bay Area during his presidency reached epidemic proportions. His drug war policies and the disparity laws for crack vs. cocaine possession meant the Black people, especially young men, were often given longer prison sentences and more severe punishments than White people for cocaine possession. As I said before his actions and racist views became very obvious as president.
Wow…. THANK YOU!!!!! Trying to think of “any” Republicans (maybe Nelson Rockefeller who lost…) who cared about “the people”…. My first presidential vote was for John f. Kennedy…. And I went to the polls with my Mother to vote for Harry Truman when I was 12.
You're welcome, thank you for the reply.
