    That shit really worked though. reagan used to be a punchline in our house back in the 80’s and 90’s (was default family knowledge that he was essentially a supervillain). These days, at least to certain relatives, he’s now basically a saint.

      Propaganda works. Period.

      Hitler knew it. Reagan knew it. Rupert Murdoch lives it every day. We are doomed to be fucked as long as corporate media rules.

        every day feels just a bit closer to a dystopia.

      And what’s even crazier is that if Reagan were to show up today with identical policies, those very same relatives would probably call him an evil leftist.
