I quite liked Reagan, based purely on the fact I was a kid at the time and he seemed pretty funny and easy going. I know a lot of unions and south Americans wont agree. 

 

I'd say Iraqis, whom he "supported" in the war against Iran, and Iranians, to whom he sold arms at the same time, might have struggled to be convinced by Reagan's avuncular side.

I think unlike Dubya and Trump though Reagan was a true believer. He thought America was boss and communism was evil, probably was genuinely religious where as all the decisions made by Bush jnr were couched in all of those things but were mainly about money.

 

Theresa May was like that I reckon. She loved her cartoon vision of Britain and considered Corbyn a communist heretic.

Yeah, perhaps true.  Mind you, I reckon Hitler was a true believer as well.

Nixon was the same, in fact Nixon was a lot like Trump in the fact they were/are both felt/feel awkward in addressing personal faith but not shy in enjoying massive support from the White evangelical voters. Nixon had a Quaker background and fought with himself over wanting peace yet using aggressive political tactics. Trump however just had a background shaped by wealth and probably being told to sit in the corner and be quiet due to the fact he's a thick cunt.

These riots are going to give Trump back everything he lost over corona.

 

I think you'll find a lot of White folk are on the side of the persecuted and even more so are starting to see through Trump's bullshit and his daily fight against anyone in the World who doesn't agree with him. The religious America first nutters are always going to be on his side though, regardless of what happens.

Historically, riots and race riots in particular have always been detrimental to civil rights movements and always strengthen the right. Scenes of widespread looting, wanton destruction and general lawlessness tend to further polarize already increasingly divided society.

History can't change but the future can. America has a lot of problems at the moment and Trump is slowly alienating them, people who pull his strings will be getting itchy feet soon.

Black Americans in fact all Americans. need to do a voter recruitment drive, everything they can to get people eligible to vote and then go out and vote. It won't change everything in 4 years or 8 but to never vote and say what's the point plays into the hands of people who don't want you to vote. The same goes for everyone everywhere I guess.

He's said White House protesters will be met with 'vicious dogs and ominous weapons'. Awesome, what's an ominous weapon? 

"the most vicious dogs and ominous weapons I have ever seen"

 

Impossible not to read this in the voice of Sassy Trump.

Fun fact- it was actually Canadians who burnt down the White House during the War of 1812 when we sent them packing.*
 

*technically British as we were still a colony until 1867

 

We’ll fucking do it  again if they annoy us anymore. And build a giant igloo and plant maple trees in its place.

Stop trying to take credit for our moves. It was British troops.
 

In 1814 the nearest there was to actual Canadians (apart from the Native North American tribes) were some feral French survivalist nutters with a beaver-hat fetish....
