    reagan passed himself off as a harmless and loveable old man to the public and now i wonder if biden’s doing the same thing; odd that they were contemporaries.

      I strongly disagree.

      Maybe our disagreement is based in our cultural background, but I (Catalan non-racialized cis man in the 50s and radicalized in childhood). Reagan (and Thatcher) were monsters at the level of Kissinger.

      PS: I’ve added the age for the cultural background when I was a youth (and that ****** was the _western leader_) not with an ageist approach.

        i don’t understand what you’re trying to say; he was a monster that pretended he was a harmless old man.
