    Neoliberalism began with Carter, not Reagan. I hate when liberals blame Reagan for the world’s problems. Yes, Reagan sucks, but much of why he sucks actually comes from Carter. They are both monsters who have been rehabilitated like almost every other fucking dogshit president. (The only presidents who did good things were FDR and Lincoln and they still deserve prison time for the bad things they did.)

      Yeah, you have a point but Reagan is the more natural target since while Carter did start to implement certain neoliberal policies, for Reagan it was his calling and religion since well before he became president (back when he was campaigning for Goldwater and when he was governor of California), he was a zealous convert to neoliberalism and is the one that established it as the state religion of the United States.
