Holy fuck, look at how woke the Reagans were!
Nancy liked Lena Horne! Lena Horne was black! Woke!
Ronnie liked Jerry Lewis! Jerry Lewis was a Jew! Woke!
Ronnie liked Sammy Davis, Jr. Sammy Davis Jr. was a black and a Jew! SUPER WOKE!
But it gets worse!
Ronnie and Nancy really liked Elizabeth Taylor, who was a crusader for LGBT+ causes and set up her own AIDS foundation which still exists. HOLY FUCK THAT'S WOKE!
Oh god... no... it can't be... RONNIE LIKED ELTON JOHN!
It's true. Ronald Reagan is the most woke president we've ever had. We need to make sure Republicans know that. In fact, I highly recommend you show the picture of Ronnie with Elton to any easily-shocked Republican for entertainment purposes.
Not to take away from this great post, but oh my God Elton John looks so plain. That man is Elton John's secret identity.
Clark Kenting with a suit instead of glasses
They loved Rock Hudson until he got AIDS and publicly addressed his homosexuality. From stories of Hollywood at the time, I'm sure Ronald Reagan was most upset to find out that he used to suck off a gay dude instead of just two straight buddies blowing each other.
Worse: Reagan has a lot of gay friends but abandoned them when he wanted to become governor of CA. He literally cut people out of his life over his politics, which is the sort of thinking that has lead us to where we are today.
Pretty sure I remember hearing he was informing on everyone in Hollywood when he was head of the screen actors Guild
I was under the impression that it was more of a communism thing than a gay thing.
At the time they thought those were the same thing
You know that and I know that, but do we have to let them know that?
I mean I wouldn't be surprised if Ron and Nancy used the N-word in private all the time too. And if they didn't, they certainly had friends who did and they were fine with it.
I highly doubt they only did it in private.
Probably not. I just don't know of anything picked up on a microphone.
You n me, FlyingSquid. We're starting a band called Ronnie's N-word and DJ Hot Mike.
I'm down for that!
Holy hell.. was Elton John still heavily using drugs when that photo was taken? It’s wild how much healthier he looks today.
Most likely. It was the 1980s.
Yeah you’re right, I’m pretty sure he didn’t go sober until some point in the 90s.
Really? I mean, no comment on his actual health, but I think he looks fine in that photo, I can think of 3 straightlaced computer nerds in my life who more or less look exactly like that. Maybe just needs some exercise and veggies.
It could be bad lighting but to me his skin looks really washed out, his eyes look sunken in, and his hair looks really brittle. Compared to today, even as an older man he just looks a lot healthier to me 🤷🏻♂️
Looks like average British man to me. Guess all the Brits are addicts.
I know it's satire and you know it's satire.
But just in case anyone actually thinks Reagan wasn't a raging, bigoted, evil piece of shit, lemme drop this conversation between him and Nixon...
(And, TW, this is really fucking offensive and I feel gross even posting it but I think it is important to make sure everyone knows.)

There are so, so, so many reasons you could give to show what a piece of shit Reagan was that it could probably take all night. But that is not a bad one. Another example would be the fact that Reagan didn't even use the word AIDS in a speech until 1985, after he was re-elected and, of course, after thousands of people had died. Because it was "the gay disease." Nancy even turned down Rock Hudson's plea for medication after he came out of the closet and announced he had AIDS. His former so-called friends abandoned him and let him died. Fucking ghouls those two.
