What are some other MN dubs?
There's plenty more but those are just the ones I can think of right now.
I believe it was also the only state not to vote for Reagan
Damn, can't believe I forgot that one
Tell me why you don't like reagan? As a foreigner ive not enough information about him
That's a really long one but pretty much every shitty trend since the 80s can be attributed back to him: Wage stagnation, climate inaction, police militarization, Middle East wars, no taxes for the wealthy, war on drugs, for profit prisons, elimination of pensions, union busting, media polarization, Iran-Contra affair, etc.
He was popular because he was charismatic but literally all of his policies hollowed out the country into what it is today.
Thanks
Reagan started the slow move to conservative legislation by both sides of the US two-party system. It’s the reason a lot of people on social media hate everything about whoever is president.
Our liberals are center/center right, our conservatives are basically fascists and those are the two options. Most of this started with our first “celebrity” president, who was a well-known actor many years before.
Before the Reagan era, Richard Nixon had to resign his presidency for hiding some evidence. Trump was found hiding evidence and he finished his term and is running a second time (while actively fighting multiple criminal trials). The tide shift was Reagan.
Thanks
Pretty sure you guys can add "only state to pay duck, duck, grey duck" as well.
