In the 1980 election, Reagan won 44 states. Only 6 voted for Carter. In the 1984 election he won 49 states.
That’s the kind of landslide tRump has wet dreams about.
But it also reminds me of other countries like Russia, when they have an “Election”, and then the standing dictator wins 95% of the vote. It’s then an open secret that the vote was tampered with, but who’s going to stop it?
The 1980 and 1984 elections have that same vibe to them.
And the policies he enacted are the reason the usa are a shithole now. Reagan is like the original OG corrupt profits over people president.
Are we SUUUUURE those elections were legit?
There was a major collapse of the Democratic Party in 1968 which never really recovered until Obama: Carter got elected because of Watergate, Bill Clinton got elected because of Perot.
And bad as it looks in retrospect, Nixon and Reagan were very popular presidents at the time.
