It must really gnaw at some of you lefties that Reagan is considered the best president ever by the people of the country. I don't have him as the best, but in the top 5 for sure.
'Gnawing at you' is basically all your politics are about, completely lacking in any principles, morality, logic, facts.
Things that gnaw at me include the Holocaust, prisoner rape, poverty caused by excessive concentration of wealth, leading to things like lack of medicine and clean water, injustice.
So, ya, to the extent that the President who caused so much harm in the world, shifting the direction of the US away from the strong middle class of the liberal era to where the middle class is being destroyed and democracy is corrupted on the way to endangered, using our tax dollars for things like Salvadoran death squads and a terrorist army in Nicaragua torturing and murdering innocent people... the fact that instead of some people opposing those harms and instead ignorantly praising him to enjoy 'gnawing'... ya, it's annoying.
Congratulations on your good deed for the world, the moronic and childish glee from that.
It's the same mentality as people who wear Hitler paraphenilia in order to get 'glee' from anyone who is upset by it. Ha, ha! ha, ha!
A lot of idiots feel shame for what they come to view as the idiocy they indulged in. Like former racists, who will say they 'just didn't understand the harm' of their behavior.
That's what could happen with you, if you weren't like a child with your glee and actually had a clue about the real world impact of your punky little behavior, acting as a pawn.
A friend of mine when he was young, saw a story about a young man who was working on a car, and decided to open the gas tank with a blow torch, it exlpoded and killed him.
They thought this was hilarious, and laughed and laughed at the idiocy of the person (the same mentality as 'Darwin awards'.)
Then, a woman who was a family friend arrived at their house - and was devastated, crying, to his parents - it was her son who was killed.
He suddenly felt bad about the laughing, realizing the 'real person' involved. He felt like he'd been an idiot for the earlier reaction. There's a lesson there for you to grow up.
You are simply a child for whom stories of thousands oppressed for our benefit are some sort of 'joke' and you can take petty glee in the Schadenfreude that opponents 'gnaw'.
You aren't in any danger of the oppression, so you are free to laugh about it, vote for those who cause it, happily spend your tax dollars to pay for it, be a moral imbecile.
That's what the group you are prasing so loudly are, moral imbeciles, no different than any grop of moral imbeciles who have laughed at the suffering of others in history.
You should grow up a little and take a little moral responsibility for your own country, your own taxes.
You aren't ready to, I know that, but maybe this will help you be a little more ready sooner than you otherwise would.
Reminds me of a far smaller example on public transportation recently. A few teenage girls had loud music playing, despite the law, disturbing people around them.
Knowing the likely reaction from people with that mentality, I told them they should turn down their music. One looked at me and said "why?" It seemed like an honest question - they really didn't have a clue about their behavior. I said, 'because you're disturbing people around you, and it's the law'. One jumped in the middle of the sentence to egg on her friend, "just say no! say no!" and then to encourage 'let's turn them up.' Their mentality was very much like yours - take 'glee' if they turned them up and it upset people. Ha, ha!
(The next step of summoning the authorities for the system was pre-empted by their saying they would get off at the next stop).
People with that mentality - them or you - don't get the reasons for right and wrong. They'd only understand the police citing them, you only understand if YOU are oppressed.
If you 'don't care' about others being hurt, that's your right to be a moral imbecile - you just can't do it here without having it pointed out here by people who aren't, perhaps.
