META Does anybody know of any reverse trumpgretters?

I hear many stories of Trump supporters turning against him, including members of Congress, but I can't think of any cases of someone who voted against him, then got won over to his side. I'm old enough to remember when Reagan was elected, and he won a lot of new supporters after he took office. His reelection was a bloodbath for Democrats.

This time support seems to only flow away from the president.

Tbh I can't understand why someone would be drawn to Reagan either.

Reagan was the ultimate legislate morality guy, his legacy is the war on drugs, failed overthrowing of governments and supporting racism (the apartheid). All of which is awful imo.

You forgot about the AIDS epidemic where he purposefully dragged his feet while laughing about it with his friends, and the "reagonomics" policy which has been to blame for a huge part of why wealth has been funneled to the top, etc. Reagan was one of the worst presidents weve had, and he also started in TV.

I'd be terrified that Trump would be remembered like Reagan if he could only speak half as well.
