Honestly I think your taking it to literally. No one who says it all started with reagan or you can thank reagan is saying the world is a perfect utopia where only reagan is the problem. He is just the face of his administration and his administration is one of the more prominent drivers of what ails us today. But yes it took other bastards. sure. All of your arguments could be said about hitler. I mean there was a whole lot of members of the nazis party besides him, but all the same hitler is the face and the driver.
I would argue that people genuinely do try to demonize regan and make him own all the issues… similarly to how in the future people are probably going to blame trump for any stupid issue we have. Much like how the right blames obama for shit.
Also, that’s a bad comparison. Hitler administration WAS a dictatorship. And anything he said was law. There is a stark difference between how the Reagan administration and all the subsequent administrations did and what hitler did.
but hitler could not have done it by himself and everything that happened had other folks. He was just the main guy. With reagan its the same except more the administration but reagan was the face (baker and meese in particular). And yes they demonize him because as I have said how his administration influenced everything that came after but that does not mean no one else at all was continuing these things. After all hes dead now but his policies live on and that is why you hear about reagan because he started the cluster fuck that has culminated in today and has no indication of stopping.
