Reagan purposefully let an epidemic kill Americans because he didn’t like gay people existing and was courting the religious right wing.
He knew it was killing American citizens, and withheld any kind of relief to the affected or funding into research the better understand it. But it was killing gay people more than straight people anyway, why stop it if it’s going to rally the religious people, who cares if some other non-gay people get caught in the epidemic? Thats just the price for making america great again. and yes that was a Ronald Reagan slogan first.
Reagan killed more Americans than the Viet Cong, but since they were queer, drug users, and later black folks it took a long time for people to realize they were supposed to want their fellow human beings to survive
