If I could meet any historical figure, it'd be Ronald Reagan just to kick his fucking teeth in for as long as possible. Just break a bone for every queer he let die to AIDS until he doesn't have any left. Dude was an absolute monster, and anyone who still hero-worships his lying miserable ass isn't worth talking to.
I know our response to COVID was awful, but people don't realize how many people AIDS killed while the government sat on their thumbs. It was millions, plural.
Not even sitting on their thumbs, they were actively demonizing victims and saying they deserved their deaths.
Anyone surprised by the modern Republican party being fucking ghouls hasn't been paying any attention.
I was in a punk rock band in high school that had a song called "Fuck Republicans" and it couldn't be truer today.
In the UK, when Thatcher (who was their version of Reagan) died, the lyrics "Ding, dong, the witch is dead" from the Wizard Of Oz suddenly became very popular.
Don't worry, I hold plenty of hate in my heart for that Bitch too, but since I'm a few generations removed from the isle it doesn't hit as close to home. I'd certainly let any Irishman take a hit at her before myself.
Well, I was just an immigrant in the place for a bit over a decade.
Still, having seen first hand the long term consequences of the purest expression of her and Reagan's ideology (that shit also got copied all over Europe, including my own country, but in a diluted form), pure hate for Thatcher was one of those things I quickly learned from Common Britons and took into my heart.
The West has been fucked by that shit but I got the impression that the US and the UK got especially fucked and endured (and still are enduring) a much larger fall because of it.
Reagan and Thatcher are frowning up on us.
Hope they enjoy the piss we send them
