Today, Jay!, Amanda, Deon, and Erin discuss:

  • The long history of nostalgia in politics as we find ourselves reliving the 1980s
  • How MAGA Youth have a lot in common with Reagan Youth (a la Alex P. Keaton) without the context
  • Trump’s Reaganitis: All the ways Trump is just straight up copying Reagan and how he could fail like him too
  • The “Landlord in Chief” and how to fight back against the new feudalism
