I agree with the earlier poster. The GOP ideology has transcended what is traditionally conservative in other developed nations. They've gone all in on religious fanaticism, denying scientific realities, pandering exclusively to billionaires in economic-related policies and construct outright fantasies to propagate out to the indoctrinated, who willingly choose to deny observable reality because being on the right team has become more important than the self-respect derived from not allowing yourself to be lied to and played for a rube. It's become an extremist group with an increaslingly radicalized base.

The term you're looking for is right wing reactionaries.

To the bolded, is there some reading material behind those words? A unifying concept you are referring to?

Second, government taxes and regulations are used as a scapegoat for why the economy is bad for workers. It is that fear of government that drives many on the right. Of course it's hypocritical when it comes to social issues, but I digress. Their view is government = bad.

The most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the government and I'm here to help. Ronald Reagan
Pre tea party of course.

Thank you unthinking parrot.

Seriously, though, I'm glad you recognize that the government, which is currently ran and controlled by Republicans isn't here to help you.

Irony strikes taj once again.

Saint Ronnie?

He was wrong about a lot of things, probably from listening to Nancy's Astrologer. That's the oldest post-truth pitch in the world.

I still remember the hatred, lies and exaggerations told about him by the left. Thanks for posting the cartoon about it.

And his administration is number 2 after Nixon for total criminal indictments and convictions and still number 1 in total number of indicted administration officials. Something for someone like yourself to be proud of I'm sure.

Even more than Trudeau? That's hard to believe.

Conservatives do not resist change, they resist tax and spend liberalism. Conservatives have always tried to change that way of government, as far back as history records.

you have a very weird, and very wrong understanding of historic liberalism, for someone trying to pretend to understand political history.

sorry, but "tax and spend" is an idiot's catch phrase that is barely 3 decades old. It has nothing to do with the actual philosophical differences between liberalism (the political philosophy that founded this country and created our constitution), and conservatism (basically: imperial monarchies and, well: fascists like Nazis and shit).

obviously, that second description of conservatism was half-a-joke

You are an ignorant Russian piece of shit. Reagan was only our 3rd-worst president, that is true. But it's amazing only because the republicans have managed to get worse and worse since him. Pretty much only capable of nominating and electing treasonous motherfuckers from Reagan on. Crazy, right?

I don't know what is wrong with republicans. do you?

Edit: Oh shit, I already forgot Nixon. So, Reagan is merely the 4th-worst president. How quaint.

Reagan rates the 9th best President we ever had according to CBS news. I'd rate him higher.
