There's nothing "conservative" or "small government" about these nutjobs. Reagan was a Republican and he was tough on Gorbachev who tried to institute progressive reforms. I remember since I was in Russia at the time, I went with my grandmother who joined a peace group. TFG, on the other hand, loves the current murderous dictator. People need to wake up and realize that these so-called Republicans are not on the people's side, if they ever were.
