Ronnie's shining city upon a hill's beacon light now guides GOP suckers to Trump-branded properties

My reaction to seeing THIS on Raw Story's home page:



Orange County: How Trump killed off Reaganism and changed the face of the American right-wing

https://www.rawstory.com/2019/01/orange-county-trump-killed-off-reaganism-changed-face-american-right-wing/


What a heartbreaking article, made even more heartbreaking by a sad photo of America's Republican saint-slash-man who acted with monkeys in front of the American flag. Just sad. Bigly sad.

Reagan, advocate of trickle-down economics that never trickled down...not a single drop.

Reagan, whose legacy was shaped (outside of the realm of his worshiping hordes) by three little words: "Iran Contra Affair."

Orange County, that reliable bastion of good old American conservative family values, but golly gosh, washed from one end to the other with several brilliant coats of Sherwin-Williams blue.

YES, the shining city on the hill is now littered with poorly-constructed Trump-branded multi-million dollar condos, lacking in smoke detectors.

I can imagine the tear in Saint Ronnie's eye, as he looks down on us (or up at us), witnessing his dream of one America united under Republican rule for all eternity. I can imagine the sadness in the place in his chest cavity which normally houses the organ medical professionals refer to as a "heart," as Trump continues to ride the wrecking ball into everything he held sacred.

I can imagine Nancy, by his side, consulting her heavenly astrologer, who can only come to one conclusion: "2020 is coming, and you're screwed."
