Ronald Reagan's political evolution from a liberal Democrat to a conservative icon was shaped by his experiences with government inefficiency and communism. Initially a supporter of FDR and the New Deal, Reagan's views began to shift during and after World War II as he became disillusioned with leftist ideologies and the bureaucratic nature of government.
His awakening was marked by a series of events that highlighted the authoritarian tendencies of some leftist groups in Hollywood, leading him to reject communism and embrace conservative principles. This transformation ultimately defined his political career and legacy as a staunch advocate for limited government and free enterprise.

Critics argue that DEI initiatives are discriminatory, while supporters maintain they are essential for fostering diverse workplaces.
