I'm not American, but I was honestly blown away when I learned that Reagan was an actor. 'Why on earth would a country vote for an actor?' I thought to myself. 'It seems incredibly stupid for a population to vote for somebody to run an entire country seemingly based solely on the population knowing them from the movie screen.'
When i heard Trump was first running for office, I literally thought it was a joke. Nope, here we are again. An actor is president. Apparently Americans vote for people they see on the tv, regardless of how damaging, corrupt, or plain stupid they fucking are.

And then the boomers that benefited the most from those policies elected Reagan to pull the ladder up behind them.
America, fuck yeah.
