        Empathy? Tell that to all the gay men who died of AIDS while Ronnie Rayguns refused to do anything. It's astonishing to see all this revisionist history about Reagan. He was absolutely horrible & was nothing but a dumb figurehead. Or, as one comedian put it, a hood ornament.

        Republicans have been telling us that queer people are an abomination against god and nature for my entire lifetime but you posted an article so that clears that up.

        So were Democrats. And what you said doesn't refute the facts.

        Doubling funding funding for AIDS research every year does, indeed, refute your ignorance on the subject.

        The entire fall of America can be traced directly to this man and his administration. The destruction of unions and the middle class in favor of Wall Street and bankers started us down a path we’ll never recover from.

        Reagan was responsible as well for the closures of 85% of state mental health facilities, so those suffering from mental illness weren't able to get help more readily. Now they walk the streets untreated. Mental illness is one of the biggest reasons of the homeless.

        I detested Reagan. But boy oh boy if he could come back & take over from Trump I’d follow him around like a devoted puppy...

        The negatives of Regan’s policies hit my family/me personally just as I was coming of age. It has stuck with me my whole life and tuned me against trickle down economics. If we survive this debacle, I think R’s will own it for at least a generation or 2.

        .The GOP has gone from measured empathy to zero empathy. Don't be the last free thinker to abandon this sinking ship - it ain't my father's Republican party no more.

        He was a fairly typical Republican. He had to know you to give a shit. It's a pretty natural way to be for all humans, but I think liberals try harder to rise above it.
