Hell, I'm still getting over the shock of Reagan being taken seriously on a national level. The first time he ran in 1976, they laughed him out of the race. I was convinced that he'd never be taken seriously.

His record as governor should have been enough to keep people laughing. He was the first real manifestation of our desire for Presidents that are Just Like Us, I guess.
I think this was the tipping point for America. Not only did he do economic damage with the tax cuts, deregulation, and deficit spending (which started the downslide of the middle class), but he hoodwinked a sizable portion of the electorate who continue to be hoodwinked to this day without realizing it.
