To paraphrase margery tyrell, “He doesn’t care about the consequences because he doesn’t intend to suffer them.”
Trump has fallen ass backwards into a perpetual get out of jail free card. Is it any wonder he acts with impunity when events time after time prove that he is effectively immune from all but the most trivial inconveniences?
I’m an '80s kid and definitely care about Regan and his impact. He was president for a large chunk of my childhood. I remember some of the later times he was on the news. His impact has forever changed American politics.
We sat around, even when I was young, watching the news every night with my family whilst eating. I can tell you I remember some things from the end of his presidency. Right after it, when the Berlin came down, I remember watching the news about it as we were actually at my grandparent’s house for dinner that night. On the other hand, I don’t remember the challenger explosion even though I was in gradeschool at the time. Maybe I’ve just forgotten about it as an adult now in my 40s.
We also had mock elections in gradeschool with the actual presidential candidates. I did misunderstand it and my parents refused to believe, as I did, that I had actually voted and found it hilarious.

I’ve never been more glad to be child free.
Thier kid won’t even care who Trump was. Same as any kid in the 80’s caring who Reagan was.

You were a 70’s kid if you even knew who Reagan was at the time.

I was born in 81 and definitely knew who Reagan was growing up. I distinctly remember his TV address after challenger exploded.
I know a couple who’s having a kid in 4 weeks. Lovely people, but by the gods the worst fucking time to be born. I feel bad for their kid.
