I mean both are horrible, but the problem with Reagan is that he knew how to hide his atrocities. People don’t really grapple with how bad what he did was because he wasn’t overthrown by the Allies in a Great War, there was no purpose-built death camps, he didn’t make rambling speeches declaring entire races as vermin.

He just quietly let AIDS happen, pretending it’s not a real thing. He deregulated banks for the sake of “competition”. He fucked with the Middle East.

We compare Trump to Hitler a lot, but he’s like a more outwardly fascist Reagan.
