A SHADOWY CULT OF PERSONALITY is being forged at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, where hundreds gathered in a chilling display of political worship on what would have been the late president’s 115th birthday. This isn’t just a tribute; it’s a DANGEROUS REVIVAL of a divisive legacy, now being weaponized by his grieving family and ousted political elites to CRITICIZE today’s America.
With the recent death of Reagan’s son Michael, the event took on a morbid, dynastic tone. His granddaughter, Ashley Reagan, issued a stark warning, claiming the current political climate “mirrors” the turmoil of the 1970s—a direct and SCATHING indictment of the present administration. “We’re watching history repeat itself,” she declared, her words a rallying cry for those who believe the nation is in catastrophic decline.
Former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, a keynote speaker, went further, painting Reagan as a savior figure who rescued America from a weak and embarrassed state—a narrative clearly designed to draw a PARALLEL to today. He revealed Reagan’s presidency made him “reject” his own Democratic family, exposing the event not as a memorial, but as a RECRUITMENT GROUND for a fading ideology.
The gathering was a masterclass in political myth-making. They spoke of “unity” and “reaching across the aisle,” but the subtext was UNMISTAKABLE: a call to arms against modern progress, wrapped in the flag and the memory of a man they are desperately trying to canonize. His ranch, now operated by the conservative Young America’s Foundation, is being used to indoctrinate a new generation with what they call “truth.”
This is more than a birthday party; it’s a calculated effort to ANCHOR the present to a contested past, suggesting that the only path forward is a return to policies that many blame for today’s deepest inequalities. They are building a mausoleum not just for a man, but for an entire vision of America, and they are demanding you live in it.
As they polish the bronze statues and whisper his name, ask yourself: are we honoring history, or being held HOSTAGE by it?
