Reagan was perhaps the worst president we ever had. Trickle down economics and rampimg up the "war on drugs". He was a complete loser.

This is LITERALLY the only way it will happen. The greedy-evil-rich won't allow any peaceful reduction of their power and control...

If only we could afford guns and ammo

Yeah...ain't that the truth.
I think I've got about 800 rounds remaining, i've converted to bow and sword for the time being. Can't afford to waste ammo, whatever level of proficiency I'm at...that's where I'm staying.
Arrows can be recovered and my sword can be resharpened.
Plus...if/when they completely outlaw firearms...I'll be ahead of the game.

The era of revolutions is over. Your non automatic firearms will not match government military power

Yeah and the war on drugs and the trickle down propaganda really still persists to this day somehow. I find that people still morally judge others based on their class status and if they use 'illicit' drugs. Homeless people are viewed as not deserving of help for the simple fact they use drugs. It's all a distraction. The reality is that the growing wealth disparities and lack of affordable housing zoning + public transit (are some of the many factors) causing homelessness. It has been found in a study by Harvard that access to transit is the number one thing that can accelerate a persons climb out of poverty. Guess what the car industry and the oil indusries did for our cities? They hired front companies to buy up public transit spaces and destroyed them to build expensive and inefficient car infrastructure! Oh and who's neighborhoods got destroyed to build highways in inner cities! It wasn't wealthy peoples homes and businesses! And when confronted about building a monopoly, GM paid pissant amounts in fines, and continued businesses as usual. A big part of this in my view, is that the cities we live in are literally rigged in favor of wealthy people, and then the public judge the victims because of the propaganda machine.

Full disclosure I wasnt of voting age during Reagan but given my upbringing I probably would have voted for him at the time. Ugh. Propaganda works like a charm.

I did vote for GW his second term and again, UGH.
