De-Reaganization

De-Reaganization refers to a period of time following the Presidency of Ronald Reagan when insiders and big wigs of the Republican Party disavowed conservatism and returned to an era of big government.

Some blame de-Reaganization, led by President George H.W. Bush,[1] as responsible for the defeat of the Republican Party in 1992 and the rise of the modern extreme left Democrat Party.[2]

The term De-Reaganization has at time been misused by media cohorts eager to promote the Republican Establishment's cause.[3]

The platform fully indulged in the rhetoric of revolution, much like Reagan. Denouncing a 12-year "nightmare of Republican irresponsibility and neglect" that had led, among other things, to an explosion of poverty and a "mountain of public debt," the platform called for nothing less than "a revolution in government" (Democratic Party 1). "The Revolution of 1992 is about a radical change in the way government operates"
