Help me out here ILA. How can one who lives in states other than the one's Murkowski, Flake and Colllins live in hold them to account? What do you do to hold those who you can't vote for (or against) to account? Do you send money to their opponents? Do you work to find candidates to primary them? Do you visit their states and talk to voters?
What do you do other than talk about it on an anonymous message board to others who don't like in those states?

Reagan was never the party of working folks. NEVER. In fact no single politician in the last half of the 20th century did as much damage to the rights of working class people and is as responsible for their economic decline and gross inequality than Reagan was with his union busting and deliberate attacks on labor rights and his supply side give aways to the wealthy.
So with Trump taking the GOP into the pro-labor arena with his populist rhetoric you better believe that Darth is right. That there will be a post Trump shift in the GOP away from the Party of Reagan. The GOP is no longer the Party of Reagan. Trump and his supporters have co-opted it and if the GOP establishment try to go back to being the party of Reagan they will be the permanent minority party of Reagan. There's no turning back now for the GOP. That ship has sailed.

I doubt anyone under the age of 40 even has a dim memory of Reagan. And more importantly, Reagan did not leave a lasting, positive legacy that is self-evident to people.
Lincoln freed the slaves. FDR gave us social security, regulated capitalism, and won World War 2. For all his faults on Vietnam, LBJ gave us Medicare, Medicaid, civil rights act, and a Great Society infrastructure that remains with us today. Those are tangible things that are self-evident for people, that people take for granted, and that most of us cannot imagine America without.
Reagan left no positive, tangible, self-evident legacy I am aware of. Union-busting, massive military build ups, and tax cuts for the rich might play well with teabaggers. But in the grand scheme of history, these are not self-evident and profound contributions most millennials are going to remember. Teabaggers fantasize that Bedtime for Bonzo won the cold war. The cold war ended after Reagan left office, and the cold war was basically ended by the reformer Gorbechev, who unleashed forces beyond his power to stop.

No lasting legacy for Reagan? You have got to be kidding. We took down the Soviet Union under his watch and created the “Reagan Revolution” which moved this country to the right both economically and culturally and continues to this day.
Yeah I know the victory of capitalism still upsets some progressives and Reagan is largely to blame.

"There is no question former President Trump bears moral responsibility. His supporters stormed the Capitol because of the unhinged falsehoods he shouted into the world’s largest megaphone," McConnell wrote. "His behavior during and after the chaos was also unconscionable, from attacking Vice President Mike Pence during the riot to praising the criminals after it ended."
