The Reagans (2020)
10/10
Why would an 'average' American praise/defend CORPORATIONS?
16 November 2020
Warning: Spoilers
* Reagan helped blacklist actors and writers in the 1950s * He became the mouth piece of corporate America * The general electric (GE) corporation built him a "GE house" and filled it with every gadget they had in their arsenal * Corporate America doesn't like taxes or regulations * Corporations do not like unions - collective bargaining. He did his best to end them * Rich Republicans bankrolled his successful effort to be elected governor of California * These rich Republicans told him what to say and delivered him an extensive book of "lines" to learn... Just like in a movie. It's apparent Reagan was a 'parrot'. * In speaking engagements he tried to instill/stoke various fears in his audiences * Reagan promoted various MYTHS about himself and loaded them into the content of his speeches * He tried to sell an image of himself as a 'citizen' politician... And not a professional politician * He fused two worlds together... Image making and politics * Reagan portrayed himself as a kind of 'Mr. Smith goes to Washington' * He cast himself as the 'good guy' American * He cast himself as a 'hero' to the American people * So far, a lot of this is similar to Trump!

Looking forward to more episodes! If the above isn't true -- where's the proof?

What gets me is how the 'average American' is so much on the side of corporations and rich politicians (in power) who could give a hoot about the 'average American'. What happened to all the manufacturing that employed Americans? Gone to Mexico. Gone to Asia. Etc. Etc. Who's responsible for that? Corporations. Wages have been stagnant for the 'average American' since the 1980s. Who's responsible for that? Corporations. Who controls the 'puppet' politicians with their big money? Corporations.

If this program promotes lies, I hope they are prosecuted for telling lies and the program is ordered to be removed/deleted by a court order. If they're not telling lies, this program will be available, spreading truths, for decades to come.
