He destroyed the American middle class and made the rich much much richer. Of course they love him! Them, and the Joe the wannabe Plumbers in the underclass who have been convinced that social mobility being killed dead in this country is all the Democratic Party’s fault, even though the Republicans were in power for the 30 years while it happened.
And unsurprisingly, those poor dopes who keep going to the polls and pulling the Republican lever so the rich can screw them over harder have ended up with complete dopes leading their party, as the stupidity has now infected the whole racket.
“He was the triumph of image over truth, paving the way for even more vapid spokesmodels like George W. Bush. He was, as everyone agrees, exactly what he appeared to be—nothing. He made me ashamed to be an American. If there was any justice in this world his Presidential Library would contain nothing but boys’ adventure books and bad cowboy movies, and the only things named after him would be shopping malls and Potter’s Fields. Let the earth where he is buried be seeded with salt.”

Remember when he died –right around the same time Ray Charles died– and there was all this nonsense about putting his image on the ten-dollar bill? This was the New Yorker’s response, and I’ll love them forever for it:
NEEDS MOAR BONZO
smash!
A man who was more feared then the nukes on that ship.
Needs moar piles of South Americans who died by the hands of the military juntas Reagan supported.
needs moar wrecked communities under his failed economics plan.
Needs moar photos of his cabinet members shaking hands with Saddam Hussein and secretly trading arms to Iran at the same time.
Needs moar photos of the money wasted on the War On Drugs.
…and Star Wars.
And cutting the taxes on the highest earners by 50% causing us to go from the biggest creditor government to the biggest having the biggest debt.
HOORAY TRICKLE DOWN ECONOMICS!
needs moar Just Say No!
Needs moar napping on the job and allowing unelectedadvisers to perform the basic executive functions
needs moar illegalization of weed when it was on the cusp of being legalized
needs moar spending of money we don’t have
needs moar let’s ignore AIDS
needs moar joking over open mic about launching thermonuclear first strike
Just keep voting Republican like you’ve been for the last 30 years America — that money’s gonna trickle down any day now!
This.
Like molasses in January!
Needs more Alzheimer-laden poor decisions.
On the other hand, the aircraft carrier is pretty bad-ass… aside from its name.
I was there when he was hit by the aircraft carrier. Sad day.
Needs moar does anyone else think he looks a bit like Bowie in this photo?
I’ll never understand why the right wing of my country lionizes this highly mediocre individual.
Charisma goes a long way, especially if you’re telling people what they desperately want to hear.
Okay, I get that. Still sad.
Sad that they idolize him? Yes.
Sad that he’s dead? No.

A man that meant well….
I’m saddened that forces surrounding him muddled the waters.
Not good enough. People are responsible for the people they keep around them.
He didn’t pick Bush as a running mate, Bush picked him. CIA FTW.
Glad the fucker’s dead.
When he died, I went to the yard to tell my mother. She stopped trimming the hedges, looked at me and whispered “Hallelujah.”
I had no idea, before I saw this picture, that Ronald Reagan was gay.
Learn something new every day.
Ah the real Conservative God. What a douche.

best actor ever
fool a entire nation
Ah, that really expensive ship on it’s way to deliver weapons to Iran.
The man who almost destroyed the United States.
