So? Read my comment again. P.S. - Racism bad. When it comes to dog whistles and political parties, well... Reagan used to be a democrat. Throwing that card at

  Attempt to whitewash history and carry the water of racists all you want, but the fact that Reagan used to be a Democrat is no defense or counter argument of the fact that both Reagan and Trump were/are racist, and voters clearly understood and sympathized with that fact, responded to their dog whistles and klaxon alarms of racism (like "Blacks are Welfare Queens", "Africans are Monkeys", "Mexicans are Rapists", and "Very Fine People on Both Sides"), and voted for both of them because of it, because they were racist too. Do you say "So" because you disagree that Reagan and Trump are racist, or because you don't believe it matters if US presidents like Reagan and Trump are racist? You're carrying Reagan's water by presuming it was more about Carter's performance than Reagan's racism, and dismissing the fact that Reagan and Trump are racist by asking "So?" Exactly what have I said or done by citing historical facts that's worse than the actual racism of the people I deride? Is hurting the feeling of racists by reminding them of their racist history and acts even meaner than that racism itself, in your view? That's exactly why Republicans are currently having such conniptions about Critical Race Theory and the 1619 Project.
