I haven’t really paid much attention to her career lately.

      If Reagan were alive today he’d be a Democrat. That’s how far right American politics as a whole have shifted in the last generation or two. So it’s not so strange that modern Reaganites are Dems, and that the Republicans hate them.

        Even Nixon was well to the left of most Democrats on some issues. He was mostly evil, but some of his proposed policies were way better than anything the DNC talks about even now.

          I was listening to a Ben Norton and Aaron Good podcast recently and they mentioned a Chomsky quote along the lines of “Nixon was the last liberal president.” His presidency marked the shift to neoliberalism among other things.

          In general “mostly evil” is about as benevolent as one can expect a US president to be.
