Really? I see the current Republican Party as the pretty much the same as they were back then. The only difference is the current regime has the benefit of using all the crazy legislation that the party has been able to implement over the past 30 years to get away with things that wouldn’t have been possible during the Reagan era. A lot of what Reagan did has led us to this point, had the FCC Fairness Doctrine not been abolished under Reagan Fox News would look very different than how it does today. One might even argue it may have never been created in the first place.
