Ronald Reagan was obviously a RINO. /s

But in all seriousness, my bewilderment isn't so much that Reagan's stance against Russia was discarded (parties change over time, as well as the relationship between nations), but that it happened with zero pushback and zero discourse. The party leader said, with no explanation, "Our #1 enemy is now our ally" and the party simply said "But of course, no one should doubt this!"



I’m also bewildered.

For quite a long time (decades) Soviet Union/Russia was vilified like no other…

Heck, even the general public knew that Russia was the only country that could wipe us off the map with their nukes…

Current leaders grew up and were in the prime of their life during those times…


Ronald Reagan is a now a Democrat.
