I was a young elemantary age boy in the 80's, and raised to believe that Ronald Reagan was the devil. And I bought it, because I was more interested in GI Joe and Transformers, I figured the parents had that shit figured out.

I wish I could go back in time and tell 8 yo me that my parents were fucking clueless. Would've saved current me a lot of self-discovery

He banned machine guns and gave away cali to illegals with his amnesty. Wasn't that great.

That’s funny because my dad hated him but I was 10 and thought he was awesome.

All I knew was he kept jelly beans in his pockets.

I always said Escape from New York was like a 70's Pop poster off your wall came to life.

He was the best. He played by his own rules!

And he wore a badass eye patch.

There were actually quite a bunch of silent supporters in NYC but also many cucks. If you meet one in the wild give them a chance.

I hear ya, I give all a chance! Once I was in a Brooklyn bar, and the lady next to me says "screw Long Island it's full of f'ing conservatives!" I ordered another beer and said game on... (i know the silent majority on long island)

If they’re from nyc most likely cucked but long islanders most likely could be based

Filmed in St. Louis (and a little bit in East St. Louis). They didn't have to do much 'set dressing' either. The gladiatorial scene was in Union Station - which since was turned into a mall and hotel center - which has started to devolve like many 'dead malls'.

We will have to build another wall for that.
