Ronald Reagan was an extremist dipshit and his neoliberal right wing turn set the stage for the hyper-neoliberal era of Trumpism. If our own political leadership in the 90ies hadn't followed along with the thatcherite bullshit politics and hadn't tightly integrated with the US, we wouldn't be in the situation we're in now.

That we're reduced to extolling the pontifications of that moron from the '80s is just proof of the incredibly bad situation we're in.

Correct, Ronald Reagan is the poster child for neoliberal policy. I think that's why it was chosen because when he calls out tariffs for conservatives the call is coming from inside the house.

Exactly. I didn't view this as a "Regan was great" message, but more of a "look what your own idol said about it" message.
