HEADS UP. This is from the #RonaldReagan playbook.
When #Reagan took office in '81, he immediately passed a MASSIVE tax cut for the wealthy (promising the benefits would "trickle down" to the poor & Middle Class.)
INSTEAD, UNEMPLOYMENT EXPLODED TO *10.8%* by November of his *second* year.
Reagan then went on a gov't spending spree (ie: "Star Wars") which EXPLODED the Nat'l Debt, but cut #unemployment to 7.4% just in time for the '84 election, making him a #GOP hero. 
The Little-Known History Of #BohemianGrove, The Summer Camp For The ‘Masters Of The Universe’
By Katie Serena | Edited By Jaclyn Anglis
Published November 28, 2021
Updated February 6, 2022
A private campground in Monte Rio, California, Bohemian Grove hosts an all-male social club of rich and powerful members who want to "misbehave."
The High-Ranking Bohemian Grove Members
"Today, the Bohemian Grove serves as a getaway for members to reconnect with each other and to let loose. The club’s motto is “weaving spiders, come not here,” a line from William Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream. It means that members aren’t supposed to work while at Bohemian Grove.
"However, there have been notable exceptions, including planning for the #ManhattanProject in 1942, which led to the creation of the atomic bomb. But considering how many well-known policymakers have been members of the Bohemian Grove club, this isn’t entirely surprising.
"Past members and guests have included #RonaldReagan, #RichardNixon, Karl Rove, Theodore Roosevelt, Walter Cronkite, Dwight D. Eisenhower, Barry Goldwater, Colin Powell, and Nelson #Rockefeller."

It makes a nice stiry, doesn't it?
Except:
In this weeks #TheEconomist podcast, the journalists could find no evidence for what your memes imply.
I think, taking out the "biggest guy in the yard" to cow the others in the cultural war us a good enough reason.

That is all correct but just scratching the surface. 👉This is no partisan fight anymore. This is an all-out assault on #democracy.

Yet the #Democrats starved people in #Afghanistan after stealing their money & using some of it to pay for the 9/11 victims wasn't what they did?
I'm not a liberal in the sense that I believe #Dems would be a solution, cos they also help contribute into the rise of #Fascism just like they contribute to #DonaldTrump victory after fueling a #Genocide in #Gaza on behalf of #Israel.
Hell #JoeBiden was even more Far-right than #RonaldReagan actually!

"The wealthier a household was in 1990, the quicker its wealth has accumulated in the years since. While the top 1% grew its share of total household wealth, all other U.S. wealth groups have seen their shares decrease."

@TCatInReality Yeah like a president who could pass laws, exort political pressure and use #executiveorder can't use them unlike #Trump but for good things.
#Biden could've done all of that but it would require giving a shit which his 40 year track record shows he doesn't cos he's more further right and even further right than #RonaldReagan on #Israel & #Palestine!
4 years of #Democrats showed us they'll pull you right than you pushing them left.

Being 2025, there are times when it's necessary to remind all the newcomers that #RonaldReagan was first, foremost and only an actor from California
Hollywood and movies and TV
Photogenic to kill
Skilled at reading back scripts written for him by others (see, as one: Roger Ailes)
But other than that a vapid airhead with no mind of his own
I was there...

Thinking back down the list of #California #Governors
California has come up with some doozies
So have other states too, I guess, but not from the basic cultural context of Cali
Today in Labor History April 10, 1947: FBI agents visited Ronald Reagan (then president of the Screen Actors Guild) and his wife Jane Wyman, accusing them of belonging to a communist front group. To prove his loyalty, Reagan agreed to become a secret informer and went on to have a long and illustrious career as an anti-communist, union-busting, trickle-down asshole.
"Experts say the fissure among the Conservatives has long existed" Of course it has; it's the same in the US with the Right. That's because there are at least three different schools; fiscal conservatives, cultural conservatives, and religious conservatives. And they don't really have the same goals. #RonaldReagan famously got them all together in the tent and rebuilt the GOP. But it doesn't always hold.
