Sunday

Long before he became president, Reagan would fume about "long-haired hippy" student radicals. He blamed them for the loss in Vietnam. His solution? Raise the cost of tuition in universities so that a proper education became unaffordable for most people. He made that policy nationwide after he became president.

The result is a nation populated with morons who believe Joe Rogan, Sean Hannity, and Tucker Carlson must know things because they talk into a microphone. You're screwed.
