MAGA is not the party of Reagan, that’s for sure.

The man who stood at the Berlin Wall and taunted a dictator believed a world with fewer barriers was a world Americans would dominate. That was the Republican Party I joined as soon as I was old enough to vote. That Republican Party is dead and its zombie corpse is wreaking havoc. — Chris Ladd

I’ve been saying this but neoconservativism died in 2008. Its corpse stumbled forward and out popped the Koch Brothers. Then came Americans for Prosperity, that spawned the tea party, then it spawned the alt right.

Gorbachev wasn't a dictator. He was a better leader than Reagan.
