Stop look what’s going on Ronald Reagan don’t think to long

Thesis: If Ronald Reagan was to campaign today he still run on family values but would shift it to appeal to everyone.

Ronald Reagan’s presidency was built on a platform of “family values”. This was his idea of the American dream and what he thought the best version of America was. He saw it as a place where people would settle down as a unit and start a family. His views go against our modern views and new traditions of having diverse and unconventional families. He thought a family was a man and a women with a couple of kids that are of the same blood. However I feel he would not go after this new way of life but would rather see it as a new opportunity, a new demographic to impress, a new silent majority. He would have appealed to both the traditionalists with his cry for the American dream while also telling those who demand their new way of life that they can also be apart of the “family values” ideal, but not necessarily the quintessential example of it.
