The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Nope.

Ronald Reagan would be considered a "radical left lunatic," by todays MAGA sect.

Reagan signed a bill granting amnesty to nearly three million "pet eating" illegal immigrants, an action that would outrage todays MAGA sect.
"I believe in the idea of amnesty for those who have put down roots and lived here for some time and may have entered illegally." ~Reagan

As governor of California, Reagan signed a restrictive gun control law, an action that would outrage todays MAGA sect.

Before Roe v. Wade, Reagan signed a law expanding abortion access in California, an action that would outrage todays MAGA sect.

Reagan raised taxes. Signed the Tax Reform Act of 1986, which imposed the largest corporate tax increase in history at the time, an action that would outrage todays MAGA sect.

Reagan was known for his ability to work with political opponents and maintain civility in discourse, traits that are not allowed in todays "enemy within" "lock her up" MAGA sect.

Given his history of compromise and some of his more liberal positions, Reagan would be labeled a "RINO" and booted to the curb by todays MAGA sect.
(See Cheney. Romney, McCain, Christine Todd Whitman, Colin Powell, George Will, etc.)

It's a shame what the dong-obsessed fry chef has done to the GOP and America.
