I was 8 years old when Reagan was re-elected. I was young, but we only had 3 major channels on TV to watch, so I absorbed the media narrative. Kids were actually somewhat informed back then. Reagan was going to blow up the world. He was evil. Blah, blah blah. My parents were based, so I didn't buy it even then, but I saw what the message of the day was. Then he was re-elected in the biggest landslide in history. I haven't believed a word the media power brokers have said since.
