Personally, I'm very bitter about the completely awful effects of Reagan's tenure. Literally turned the office into a Hollywood act; you know damn well he wasn't calling the shots. He was there to draw people's attention.

He also defunded 99% of American science to pour billions into a hole in Texas that never had a chance of working.

Ever notice how all major breakthroughs these days come from non-US scientists? The scene never recovered.

Hey! How dare you insult my ultra American underground particle physics NASCAR stadium!

Why don’t you just admit already that the Earnhardt boson would’ve been way cooler than the “Higgs”?

Materials science is pretty dominated by Americans. But that's just for radios and stealth tech.

Let's not forget the "war on drugs" as well. A lot of awful things came from the Reagan era.

Including the gem "the most terrifying words in the English language: I'm from the government and I'm here to help!"

Not to mention that he changed economic policy to ensure the boomer generation will dominate all following generations.
