The continued idolization of Reaganomics is a huge reason why the US continues to enshittify.

Maybe there shouldn't be such a focus on cults of personality and electing celebrities. Imagine qualified people being in office.

The thread of anti-intellectualism runs deep.

I have a suspicion that anti-intellectualism and unaffordable education go hand in hand.

Education is unaffordable also due to classism, which reagonomics is really drenched in.

I did. I was told I was transphobic and pro-genocide by some totally not russian trolls.
