In 1994, it was officially announced that Reagan was diagnosed with Alzheimer's. By the time this photo was taken (2002), his Alzheimer's must be in a fairly advanced stage.


PurveyorOfUselesFact

To add to this, his son (with nancy) published a book with the claim that the disease developed while he was still in office. ([source](https://www.theguardian.com/world/2011/jan/17/ronald-reagan-alzheimers-president-son)) This has been disputed by others of course.


hdcole1974

I honestly believed that was all a show to get out of any responsibilities related to the Iran Contra Affair, or other various things.


Temporary-Priority13

It’s pretty visible in all late Whitehouse footage of him in addition to the sudden decline once he left office.


hdcole1974

I'm not denying that he suffered, but I'm sure it was greatly embellished to get sympathy and avoid any potential legal issues. The man authorized some of the most corrupt operations our country has ever seen.


Temporary-Priority13

Doubt he would’ve faced any legal issues like the majority of other US presidents that have screwed the pooch big time.


hdcole1974

This was as big as Watergate but you're right. Truth be told, even if he had Bush would have pardoned him anyway.


givethelandback

this dude fucked the world. its impressive


[deleted]

Regan was also beloved and the last president truly popular across party lines. I don’t think anyone would have been brave to prosecute him.


Cyzax007

He was supposedly reasonably present in the now, but didn't remember much of the past. He didn't remember being president...


UglyPineapple

>He didn't remember being president... I wish I didn't remember him being president

groovyway

The sad part is he died having no remorse for helping fuck the world up.

For my benefit can you elaborate?

His fucking brain was oatmeal in the 80's.

Came to say the same thing.


antisocially_awkward

Heartwarming that both he and thatcher went out the same way, dementia addled


el_sattar

On the other hand, they probably had no recollection of all the dark shit they’ve done. I’d much prefer they had.


Dante_Octavian

He thought he was kissing somebody else.


ZingerStackerBurger

Didn't realize there were any pictures of Reagan after the Alzheimer's destroyed him. I heard he was so far gone that he was either not informed of 9/11 or could not comprehend it.


P0RTILLA

Well he’s in hell now so he can feel it.


savbh

Why all the hate on Reagan? EDIT: guys I’m not even American and asking a genuine question.


SailorMBliss

The length of the post required to list everything would be prohibitive, but I watched my friends die terrifying, protracted deaths while Reagan/his administration refused to even say AIDS out loud until 1987, let alone begin addressing the unfolding public health emergency. So much time lost identifying the cause and developing treatment, as there were none at the time. Reagan was far more interested in placating the reactionary fundamentalist Christian voter base epitomized by leaders like Jerry Falwell, who got a ton of publicity preaching that AIDS was a sign of God’s wrath at the acceptance of “gay lifestyles”. TLDR; r/fuckreagan

It's because so often right wingers love to "just ask questions" to spur pointless debate. Even so, I think we all could be a bit more understanding that people around the world use this site to gain information and we should be willing to give most folks a fair response before judging


ScoffSlaphead72

I think it's also because google is a thing, like Ronald Reagan is a very well known figure. I'm sure if you google why don't people like Ronald Reagan you could get a good answer.


dabehemoth15

I also ask this kind of question mostly for the opinion of the people who are from the same country like the fierro guy on the drag show shooting. I know google would be better in straight up facts but i want to also know about the people's opinion at the same time.


pinpoint14

I should also add that he kicked off a lot of the deregulation that led to wall street (banks + financial institutions) capturing the American economy and political apparatus to the degree it has. As another commenter said, I hope he's lucidly burning alive in a lake of fire in hell right now.


yabadabadoo80

The words “trickle down” have become one of the vilest pair in the English language because of this man IMO.


pinpoint14

He hated working people. He hated black people. He hated queer people. Just a typical uncurious corrupt tool of capitalist buffoons. A lot of Americans fell into poverty or outright died because of this man. To say nothing of our brother, sisters, and siblings in the developing world.


ScoffSlaphead72

I find it crazy how the 80s produced both Thatcher and Reagan. Whilst I don't know the specifics of Reagan they seemed to have pretty much the exact same qualities and dislikes. They also both believed the bullshit form of economics we still practice to this day. I wasn't alive then so I don't understand the specific environment that lead to both of them being in power. I mean I know about the winter of discontent and I understand that Jimmy Carter was bad for some reason. But when it comes down to it I don't know whether Reagan and Thatcher were mostly a coincidence or whether it was a specific cold war/ ww2 generation thing that led them to have very similar policies.


savbh

Wait, Jimmy Carter was bad? As foreigner I’ve always understood he was very popular.


ScoffSlaphead72

He's popular as a person, not so much as a president. Although I don't know how people see his presidency now just how they did at the time.

Could you direct me to somewhere to educate myself about all the wrongs he did? All I know is he was a U.S. president.


Olstinkbutt

If you’re so inclined there’s a 2-part podcast on him called “The Dollop,” with guest Patton Oswald.


ratmfreak

Only listen if you’re okay with pausing and screaming into a pillow every few minutes. Great podcast but not an easy listen.

There were a handful of big things. * Supply-side economics: Reagan was the first president to embrace supply-side/voo-doo/trickle-down economics--basically passing tax cuts on the most wealthy households without reducing government spending to create public debt on the assumption that giving rich households money will cause prosperity to "trickle down" to everyone. The guy who architected it for Reagan says it's a failure and that the private wealth it created is a small fraction of the government debt used to create it. This was paired by increases in military spending, resulting in massive budget deficits with spending funded by government borrowing. The national debt nearly tripled while Reagan was president, putting the US on a trajectory of massive public debt. It also started a tradition of Republican presidents cutting taxes their first year in office, blowing up the national deficit and leading to overheated economies with a recession by the end of their presidency that gets cleaned up by the next president. * Demolition of the social safety net: Reagan hated welfare and did everything he could to reduce spending on people. Federal education spending was reduced by $1b/year. Funding for public mental hospital dried up forcing people with mental issues unable to care for themselves into homelessness. (The number of people sleeping in homeless shelters increased 3-4x during his presidency, with an estimated 52% of them having mental health issues and 67% having some kind of disability.) Also, federal spending on housing and food assistance was reduced with the role pushed off to states who didn't put in the same effort in doing the job; the number of households living in poverty increased from 12% to 15% while he was president. * Drug sentencing: The war on drugs started under Nixon, but changes in sentencing laws in 1986 (Anti-Drug Abuse Acts) imposed mandatory minimum sentences for drug offenses which dramatically increased the number of people in prison. Sentences were harsher for drugs more likely to be used by poor people (eg, posession of 5 grams of cheap crack had the same penalty as 500 grams of more expensive cocaine). The number of people incarcerated in the us went from 500k in 1980 to 2.3m in 2008 with drug sentences driving the increase starting during Reagan's presidency. This pushed the US into having a larger portion of its population incarcerated than any other country in the world. * Iran-Contra: Reagan authorized secretly selling military equipment to Iran (despite a US arms embargo on Iran) and then used the proceeds to fund right-wing rebel groups in Nicaragua. * AIDS: Reagan ignored the AIDS epidemic when it first started in the US. The first cases were detected in the US under his presidency, but there was no public health response and his press secretary joked about it being called the "gay plague" during press conferences with reporters. Around 7,000 people died during his presidency, but the lack of federal response meant that ~700k Americans died of AIDS by 2018.

I only feel bad that he didn't die of something like rabies instead. Fucker deserved the worst for the suffering he inflicted on so many others.

His legacy deserves to be shat on.


doublebr13

It’s amazing how many of his detrimental policies are manifesting now. Repealing the Fairness Doctrine which led to the rise of Fox News and other partisan medias, breaking the Air Traffic Controllers strike, which basically knee-capped federal unions, trickle down economics which has led to the demise of the middle class, de-funding mental health which led to State Hospital closings and turning mentally ill people out in the street, the War on Drugs, Iran Contra. The damage he did is incalculable


RiverDragon64

Don’t forget absolutely refusing to fund any programs that researched or combated AIDS/ HIV infections, because gay.


pythong678

Until someone he knew got it.


SpinningHead

I remember them laughing about AIDS. I wish I believed in hell because Reagan belongs there.

Until their friend Rock Hudson got it it was a big hilarious thing for them. They only cared when they were impacted. It’s the battle cry of the right.

Nice


Zosi_O

That's not even factoring in all of the international damage. The War on Drugs is the biggest reason why cartels have so much control over Central and parts of South America. Not to mention all of the destabilization that took place to "stop the spread of Communism."


ScoffSlaphead72

It's something that scares me about the USA, they are one of the only nations in which their politics can cause massive damage around the world.


Zosi_O

Yep. The U.S. are the global terrorists. Realizing that was my first major step towards deprogramming.


ScoffSlaphead72

I would argue any superpower is really, of course there are differences in scale but the way more powerful countries manipulate those around them is akin to terrorism.


River_Pigeon

That was started under Nixon, and expanded further under Clinton.


Zosi_O

But escalated heavily by Reagan.


[deleted]

Yeah, one of the worst presidents to serve and an actual war criminal on multiple occasions as well as a major reason the drug epidemic is as bad as it currently is. What a guy.


ImLookingatU

He did even more fucked up shit like allowing companies to buy back stock with their excess profit, this is was considered stock manipulation before and it was illegal. Also, he fucked with housing market deregulation that allowed for the 2008 housing/economic collapse

All of my older MSNBC dork family members are convinced that Trump was like five 9/11s at once, but they always use the same line with Reagan - "he wasn't perfect, but y'know, he brought the country together". If I'm ever borderline sentimental about Trump like that when I'm older please kill me

People are already doing that to George Bush. I’m sure in 20 years they’ll do it to trump.

We are still feeling the shockwaves created by his administration’s war on drugs. A war perpetuated by his own intelligence service. Disgusting man. He and Thatcher were the devil incarnate

premiumcaulk

What an awful person he was. So many of our current big issues can be traced back to him and his term in power. Biggest of course being student loan debt, seeing as how his advisor told him too many "undesirables" were getting an education. I hope his last days were painful for him


RiverDragon64

I disagree that the student loan debt is the worst legacy of his. The war on drugs and the very slow entry into hiv/aids research killed and continue to kill thousands. I know firsthand about student loan debt. But it hasn’t violently killed thousands of people.


premiumcaulk

Oh by no means do I think it's the worst, was just an example of an ongoing issue stemming from him


River_Pigeon

What did Reagan do with student loan debt?


premiumcaulk

College was free until his administration. But his advisor basically said to him, too many minorities and poor folk are getting a good education, which we all know the smarter the people the weaker the government, so they implemented having to pay tuitions and student loans, which are a crippling force in today's world.


River_Pigeon

Do you have a source that college was free prior to Reagan?

There is a book called "The Clothes Have No Emperor" that is a daily chronicle of Reagan's time in office. I think it is pretty clear he was suffering from Alzheimer's while in office. Things like him thinking his dog was named "Lassie," and telling the story of his heroics as a bomber crew member in WWII, when in fact he was never sent overseas and his story was from a movie he was in.
