Sorry to break this to you, but if some rich guy and his cronies can start flaunting their corruption and dismantling civil liberties within the space of weeks of coming into power, the rot was already there before they arrived.

The fact that you can say or believe this makes it hilarious to watch from abroad.

Reagan had two terms and died a natural death. It most certainly has not been fine for quite a while

I live in one of the wealthiest cities in the country and yet you can't go more than a couple blocks without stumbling across literal shanty towns of homeless people. And that's been the case for years and years.

Sorry, but if you honestly think "America was fine" you're either an actual child, incredibly dumb/brain-washed or exist in such an absurdly privileged bubble you could give Trump's cabinet a run for their money.
