While I completely agree with you on the heavy weight of Reagan’s hand in turning us to neoliberalism, I do see his influence even now in Congress with the ReThuglicans bringing us to the very edge of this Fourth Turning Point. I’m still holding out for his being one of the WORST presidents we’ve ever elected - TWICE. Yes, even worse than Trump. At least Trumps criminal leanings were known at the beginning. But Reagan delivered the oligarchs to him, AND in my opinion he was just as criminal, but in even worse ways, than Trump. Then Poppy Bush pardoned all his Uran-Contra thugs who managed to decimate Central America and create so many lingering problems there - that they haven’t been able to recover from. And opened up a new area of thuggery for Trump. He finished the job for Reagan. The ReThuglicans got their ugly start with Gingrich, another product of Reagan. But Trump set us on our way to autocracy through his collusion Putin. Clear and simple. And our Fourth Turning Point, combined with our planet on fire now
...and connecting Reagan to Trump was Bush II, who really accelerated the electorate dumbing-down process, besides involving us in two wasteful and unnecessary wars.
