Yes, Ronald Reagan had the idea to give every child a participation trophy no matter how bad they suck, lowered educational standards and produced tons of children's programming where the only message is "you're special" all while making sure black families have no fathers so both kids and fathers can reunite and spend quality time together in the worlds largest prison system which we all pay dearly for.
This nation had values. Today it has no values. Ronald Reagan's message was never "its not your fault".
Believing societal problems are either the fault of, or will be solved by a political party is silly.
Though I am pretty conservative in my thinking, I hardly think republicans are going to solve anything. Nor do I think the democrats are the cause of everything. In the grand scheme of things, we are talking about generational problems and when involving politics, trying to look at them in 4 year increments. The problems and root causes of the decline of an empire are never going to be found in the White House. The USA was founded and grown by people who were hungry for success. That was the national identity. Success was what it meant to be American. Today, that idea is dead. That hunger is gone and all that is left is people holding one hand out for donations as they use the other hand to point at anything and everything besides themselves for their position.
