Sure, Nixon and other before him had the same goals to destroy the middle class, but Reagan's hate for minorities and the poor was Trumpian. And he took anti-intellectualism mainstream. Nancy was a fool, who believed in all sorts of nonsense. The country is still reeling from the damage Reagan did.
