Wherever you look in history, the world’s most damaging decisions have all been made by conservatives. Conservatism is at the root of every major problem humanity faces.

It’s in the name, conservatism is the opposite of progressivism, progress is a natural state, nothing stays as is forever, the only way to stop progress is to go against nature.

“Change” is the natural state, and not all changes are “progress”.
Conservative used to be “want to take things slow to see which changes are good and which are bad”.
Stagnatives and Retrogrades should be separate categories.

The amount of harm caused by Reagan and specifically engineered to be possible after his time in office is immense. The man was a rat to his fellow actors, informing on suspected socialists and commies. He only got worse from there.

Reagan helped destroy ‘The Fairness Doctrine.’ Back when there were only a limited number of TV and radio channels available for broadcast, the government had strict rules, One was that any time a station ran an editorial it had to provide equal time for a response. Another was that no one could own more than one TV station in an area.

Yeah it’s my opinion that Regan was the worst president until Trump - worse than Nixon. He’s my pick for retroactive lead-based timeline correction.

Was Nixon a bad president? He wasnt a crook (allegedly) and made a boss Nass impression with his “Law and Orhrhrder” line.

He did sabotage the Paris peace accords which ultimately extended the Vietnam War by many years. Also, he created the HMO system that kept the US from having Universal Healthcare. He also authorized G Gordon Liddy to wire tap his Democrat opponent (very much making him a crook). So… yeah. Bad president.
