Remind Republicans looking for Government Action of Ronald Reagan [View all]

Republicans looking for government to work and help them should be reminded that they idolized Reagan whose statement was the scariest statement was "I am from the government and here to help". The diseased tree that is Trump and MAGA has its seed in long standing Republican positions and policies. It is not just Trump that is incompetent, it is the underlying philosophy of Republicanism starting before Reagan but flowering in the Reagan years followed by the Tea Party that Government is a problem rather than a source of helping people and that the Private Sector can solve national problems that really require government.

It is not Trump, it is the Republican party. If they expect Government to solve this, they should be reminded that they should exorcise that bad strain from their soul.
