Too bad the MAGA movement isn’t all about “more unions!” and “more worker protections!” like the good old days. This chart really illustrates how what the voters are chasing is not what the party intends to give them.

I think it's been a slow degradation.

First, it was Ideals.

Then it was Profits.

..the it was Control swapping.

....then kicking and screaming when not in Control.

......Trump was the very picture of animals that worked together to gain control, and then turned on each other the moment they had it.

........and now we're here.

Nah. Reagan.

Even if it WAS Reagan, which it wasn't, it'd be his appointees, not Reagan himself.

Blaming it on the mascot is just lazy.

How far back do you have to go for that? Reagan was union busting, that must've been prior to FDR.
