Reagan's Apple.

What Ronald Reagan actually did was adopt Nazi propaganda techniques to create political power.

Demonization of scapegoats was what Hitler did to the Jews.

It is a political technique that creates "moral ease" for the majority.

By demonizing the political left in general and liberals and gays in particular the right-wing political machine mobilized fear and hate in Generation X in order to win power.

Generation X stood over the left-leaning Hippies and blamed and shamed them for all the evils of the world.

This was fueled by economic fears and generational jealousy.

They told us to "get real" and "grow up".

Meaning abandon our ideals and normalize corruption.

But this was not bringing us down to earth as they claimed it was corrupting our ideals.

They were not agents of God's judgement they were dirty, rotten scoundrels mobilized by evil.

Because God's way is not down to earth and corrupt, it is not the way of the world, it is a High Way.

"For as the heavens are higher than the earth,

so my ways are higher than your ways,

and my thoughts higher than your thoughts."

Isaiah 55:9 (NRSV)

So the judgement instigated by Ronald Reagan was a fraud from the beginning.

It was the temptation to use Hitler's political techniques.

They said "never again" then they used it themselves.

If you try to use the devil to win it will be the devil using you.
