Usually I say “don’t mistake incompetence for malice” because so often when people fuck up, they aren’t doing it to be mean but just because they’re stupid.
In this case, though, you’re mistaking malice for incompetence. Everything Reagan fucked up was 100% intentional. I mean, punishing black people and poor people was basically a campaign promise.
Reagan needs to be inside the criminal circle too, tbf. In fact, I think Reagan can probably share center stage with Trump, for that matter.
