[–] Famko@lemmy.world 18 points 4 days ago (1 child) How is Reagan not on that list? Half of the problems in the United States could be traced back to him. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Squirrelknight@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago* He'd be in the bottom 15. The problem with ranking Reagan is that most of the big issues with him didn't become fully apparent until long after he was out of office. When you make a list like this it's kinda hard to fit all the awful US presidents in a top 10. All the president's between 1840 and 1860 alone deserve to be somewhere in the bottom 15 for endlessly supporting slavery and setting the stage for the civil war, which makes fitting Reagan in kinda difficult. permalink fedilink source parent
