A lot of people benefitted from his economic programs (tax cuts in particular), even though they ridiculed the concepts behind them (trickle-down economics).

And, it does seem from a neo-con worldview (which isn't mine) that eliminating the Soviet Union as a world-wide threat to freedom could be similar to "making America great again..."

But, I am not a fan of any country or other political establishment being "great". "Great" may be okay in sports, or in the educational achievement of students, but when a country or politician calls for "greatness" it is generally a call for war.

In politics how "great" you are is defined by who you can defeat.

GHW Bush (Crazy George II) made sure to prove our "greatness" by attacking and/or invading more coutries than any US President since World War II. His son George W (Crazy George III) followed up by taking over both Afghanistan and Iraq. What a disaster that has been for the American people (and economy) that have had to pay for all of that warfare.

We're all paying for it now in increased taxation with reduced incomes. (Did you ntice the box on your 1040 to check if you choose to not support the war? Neither did I. That sort of tyranny is seldom voluntary.)

But the bottom line is that we, any of us who voted, have given our blessing to everything that has been done in our names, with our mandate, because we have agreed in advance, by casting our votes, that whatever the winners and all of their minions do it okay by us.

That's a contract that I can't sign again. So I have become a Veto-Voter.
