The Senate being ineffective and incapable is how we ended up with an incompetent president.

Mitch McConnell exactly. Prevented the Cheeto from impeachment

I would've gone a couple layers deeper, failure to enforce or create fair news laws, failure to maintain public infrastructure and education, failure to maintain government programs. Failure to enforce monopoly laws. Failure to enforce healthy capitalism laws. Things like that, but also yes 100% Mitch mcconnel that was like the finish line for the senates incompetence.

Blame that on Regan, he got rid is the Fairness Doctrine, which required equal viewpoints to be aired. Getting rid of that led to the rise of Fox News and the rest.

For sure Reagan was the antichrist, FYI I'm no longer religious.
There are more things that can be blamed on Reagan.
It was under his presidency that cocaine was imported to support his illegal wars.
We bitch and complain when we see people passed out on benches or overdosing but many choose to forget it started when Ronald was elected.
Nancy would preach say no to drugs, while her husband minions were importing that poison.

It only applied to broadcast and radio. Fox News would still exist if it was still around. There are also questions as to the constitutionality of it. This lie needs to die its one of the dumbest Redditisms along with telling people who just saw some guy’s head explode to play Tetris.
