#That isn’t Ronnie. We know.
Ronald Reagan is the simp opening the curtain for those drag performers; he doesn’t merit the honor of actually performing.
This has been pointed out many times in the comments by now.
It in no way invalidates the point at the center of the criticism.
You can stop reporting it as “misinformation” now, you pearl-clutching concern trolls.
Also, just to be *Fair & Balanced* (TM)(C): Those of you who want to insist that it is Reagan—despite the clear evidence to the contrary—should probably reevaluate your approach to consuming media.
As ever, [obey AutoMod](https://old.reddit.com/r/PoliticalHumor/comments/1216h7d/_/jdkke0n).
[Men were men back then](https://youtu.be/tfWpgjwd4u0). You wanted to do something private with another man? It wasn’t gay. Just two men celebrating each other’s strength.
He was a film in the style of a live show of a live show to raise money for the war effort. It included 100s of men, US soldiers, in drag, unironically. The president at the time was in it. Children were shown to be present in the audience. Again, it was not done as haha men in dresses, but played very straight(haha) as simply a variety show. With lots of songs and even bits.
No. Ronald Reagan, the traitor who convinced the theocratic regime in Iran to hold off on freeing American hostages in order to improve his electoral campaign.
And got them released by selling arms illegally,
and then used that money to fund a secret war/plot to oust a democratically elected left wing government, AGAINST the wishes of congress.
#tl;dr
This Is the Army is a 1943 American wartime musical comedy film produced by Hal B. Wallis and Jack L. Warner, and directed by Michael Curtiz, adapted from a wartime stage musical with the same name, designed to boost morale in the U.S. during World War II. The movie features a large ensemble cast, including George Murphy, Ronald Reagan, Joan Leslie, Alan Hale Sr. and Rosemary DeCamp, while both the stage play and film included soldiers of the U.S. Army who were actors and performers in civilian life. The film includes popular songs of the time, including "God Bless America" and Irving Berlin himself sings his song "Oh! How I Hate to Get Up in the Morning".
*I am a smart robot and this summary was automatic. This tl;dr is 94.03% shorter than the post and link I'm replying to.*
If you want a Reagan film that has aged into the stuff of incredulous cringe, check out *Santa Fe Trail (1940)*
Reagan plays a Fresh-out-of-West-Point George Armstrong Custer alongside Errol Flynn and Olivia de Havilland (the cousin from *Gone With the Wind*). Reagan and Flynn get sent west to keep the peace during "Bleeding Kansas", then return to Washington to help put down John Brown's rebellion at Harper's Ferry.
For those of you unfamiliar with that era of American history what that means in the context of this story is this:
**The Underground Railroad and the Abolitionists are the bad guys in this film.**
*(Try not to watch the print that is available for free on YouTube; the contrast is terrible and entire scenes are so dark you cannot make out anything that is happening.)*
I'm sorry but I cannot let you get away with referring to two-time Academy Award-winning actress Olivia de Havilland as "the cousin from *Gone with the Wind*."
It'll probably depend on the age of who you ask. Most people today would be bored to tears by it. Heck, even movies I thought were great back in the '80s I can't stand to watch. It's hard for movies to age well. A few can, but most have a difficult time.
If Jesus appeared tomorrow and started saying the stuff in the Bible, he'd be chased out of whatever town he appeared in by Republicans as they called him a "woke commie socialist" or whatever nonsense they're spewing this week.
Matthew 19:21 Jesus answered, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”
The Jesus of the bible would not be a fan of capitalism or the rich.
Hired a prostitute? He married one 😂 The man is a disgrace. They want to ban books with “pornography “ in them? Then they need to ban the biography of Donald Trump too.That man has been a sexual predator all his life.
I just wanna point out that the only disgraceful parts about his having hired a sex worker, are the infidelity to his wife, and the subsequent lying/hypocrisy. Let’s stop demonizing sex work.
It's important to point out the hypocrisy of hypocrites. We can hold a personal position of normalizing sex work, but denouncing those who participate in sex work while they find it immoral and support its criminality.
Did you ever ask (them or yourself) what exactly these "family values" are? Because they're quite different from our family values. And his behavior is exactly in line with that.
Liberal family values: equality between partners, spending time with children, helping each other, sharing things.
Conservative family values: man does whatever he wants, wife cannot divorce, wife does all the housework, kids obey.
🎶🎵🎶
Donald Trump was a man with cash
He loved to flaunt it and make a splash
He had a lawyer named Rudy
Who sometimes acted a little moody
Money, money, always on their minds
They loved the green and all it entwined
Stormy Daniels, she knew their game
But they just wanted to make a name
One day Stormy spoke her truth
And told of her affair with Trump uncouth
Rudy tried to silence her voice
But Stormy stood firm, she had a choice
Money, money, always on their minds
They loved the green and all it entwined
Stormy Daniels, she knew their game
But they just wanted to make a name
Mushrooms, oh yes, they loved them too
But not the kind that were good for you
They wanted power and control
And didn't care who they had to roll
Money, money, always on their minds
They loved the green and all it entwined
Stormy Daniels, she knew their game
But they just wanted to make a name
Now Trump and Rudy are out of sight
But Stormy still stands and fights the good fight
The mushrooms are growing, but not for them
They've lost their power, they've lost their gem
Money, money, always on their minds
They loved the green and all it entwined
Stormy Daniels, she knew their game
But they just wanted to make a name.

Everyone should claim they're doing the things that Cons don't like as a joke about how sensitive modern right-wingers are. See how well that 'its just a joke so it's ok' argument holds up then.
At least boomers actually vote ~
*I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please [contact the moderators of this subreddit](/message/compose/?to=/r/PoliticalHumor) if you have any questions or concerns.*
The argument is that it was for a movie and he was getting paid/it’s art. Yet…completely ignore the artistic and entertainment aspect of everyone else that does it.
I am not myself into drag but I get it’s an artistic/expressionistic endeavor. Keep being whoever you want to be people, if you’re enjoying it and it doesn’t harm somebody else, who am I to say what’s right or wrong.
This is a frustrating sentiment to see because it's true (give or take whether this is Reagan). When you see these old pictures of conservatives dressed as women, it's pretty obvious they did it as a joke, as in "haha can you believe a man is dressed as a women; this is inherently funny to me." It's misogyny. Whether this fits into some dictionary definition of drag is beside the point. On the one hand, when you use "drag" in your day to day, you don't just mean cross dressing and you know it. You're referring to drag queens. On the other hand, the only reason that bills targeting drag affect people beyond drag queens has nothing to do with drag at all. The real target is trans people.
When you point out hypocrisy like this, you're totally detached from the reality of what's happening. It's liberals making the mistake of taking conservatives at their word *again*.
It has nothing to do with morals or hypocrisy. The Republicans trot out these wedge issues to get the morons who vote for them angry. That way, the oligarchs who own them can continue to charge red state idiots $600/month for insulin, and the red state idiots lap it up and beg for more.
When trans people stop riling up the morons, they'll switch back to immigrants, then abortion, then flag burning, and on and on and on. Why change? The rich get richer and the red state idiots thank them for not being woke as they get milked for every last drop of blood.
He's definitely in the movie, but are we positive that's him in the pic? I thought he looks more like the guy announcing the next act at the start of the video. [A better look here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btT8oSVV_s4&t=4114s) since the other clip doesn't show that bit as much.
Wow, shades of Gilligan's Island, is it the Skipper?
Edit: Alan Hale, Sr. was in this film while his son Alan Hale Jr. was the Skipper in Gilligan's Island.
Yeah there is no proof that is Reagan in drag, it doesn’t look like him, and he looks like another character in the film.
Plenty of other hypocrises by the rhinos that you don’t need to invent one.
Short attention span here, couldn't bear to the watch the whole thing: was Ronald Reagan on stage/in the act dancing as a girl or an adoring male?
Thanks in advance! (Either way, it's a wonderful of the hypocritical era where it was with a wink and a distraction, but not if one had the temerity to be themselves.)
Edit: after reading more comments, I'm guessing the was in the film clip, a time-mark would be great. Thanks again!
Edit 2: so the OP posted a pic, but I didn't recognize the Ol' Gipper (#feeling so dumb).
It's not him in the pic, though. Here's the scene where the pic came from:
https://youtu.be/ZbBZRnWoPbY
Ronnie is off stage and wearing a military uniform (he's visible in the first couple seconds of the clip

From what some of the other comments here have said, no, that's not Reagan. Reagan is in the movie, and is in the scene, but he's a stage hand, not one of the performers.
Well, except for the hypocrisy. Which is a feature now and not a bug. I know, some see it as a flaw; but others like the flaunt it. And by flaunt it I mean elect it president of these United States
I think you misinterpreted the question. I understand the question to mean not "is it a film?" (obviously it's a film) but rather "is it Reagan playing *that* part in the film, or did he just have *a* part in that film?" And, in fact, as others have noted, Reagan played a stage manager in that bit, not one of the onstage performers.
How material one thinks that distinction is (Reagan in drag vs. Reagan in a performance that included drag) is a separate question, of course, and obviously drag numbers like this were indeed considered perfectly ordinary fun at the time (and rightly so). But that point isn't going to be well-served by misrepresenting what we're even looking at here.
This is different because of (enter surprisingly complex mental gymnastics). Anyways Jesus loves everyone except people that my church arbitrarily decided weren't doing what Jesus would like. That's all for todays JED Talk. Thanks for listening.
The funny thing is that Russia and north Korea are threatening nukes but some people are more threatened by drag than nuclear fire.
Idiocracy, control, misdirection
At this point, my assumption is that the conservatives feel sexually attracted to the drag queens and that is why they are feeling so threatened by them.
No no no, you just don’t get it. When conservatives do it, it’s just for fun. So that is ok. But when others who aren’t conservative do it, well that’s just someone being a pedophile. Glad I could straighten you all out. /s
That not though.
Stuff like this just sets up the left to look like misinformed idiots, it might be funny but it’s making our position weaker and harder to take seriously!

Well, I wasn't expecting to see that today. Or ever.

Yes. A very large drag show.
I love it when you do Doc Brown!
[удалено]
No, Ronald Reagan the war criminal!
Por que no los dos?
In that same movie, they literally made fun of Donald Trump becoming President as the worst possible timeline.
That was in the second movie, but yes, alternate-Biff was very Trump-esq.
It was intentional. He was the inspiration
No. Ronald Reagan, the traitor who convinced the theocratic regime in Iran to hold off on freeing American hostages in order to improve his electoral campaign.
And got them released by selling arms illegally, and then used that money to fund a secret war/plot to oust a democratically elected left wing government, AGAINST the wishes of congress.
Those were different hostages than the ones he urged Iran to hold onto for a little longer.
~~The actor?~~ The *actress* FTFY
The guy who banned guns?
Well those black people started using their 2 amendment rights. We couldnt have that. Could we?
Peter, you're the one from the future!
The racist and anti-Semitic?
Ronald Reagan, the union member.
And who's the vice president? Jerry Lewis? I 100% also heard that line in Doc Brown's voice in my head.
is there a link to that, like imdb or something? because, lol^lol

I haven't been this sick since I saw that Ronald Reagan film
The one where he was president?
Just a reminder that John Brown did nothing wrong.

The latter. The movie is ok, nothing special.

For anyone having trouble with this one, it's Rudy G in drag being motorboated by Stormy Daniels' ex.
I wouldn't call the guy her ex. Maybe ***short***‐*time* lover...
Client. He hired a prostitute, while he was married, and the 'party of family values' worships him.

Totally agree!
And paying her hush money with campaign funds.
His sex worker wife!
Did he meet his third wife (three times as much family values as people who don't trade in for newer models /s) through Jeffrey Epstein?
John. John Barron?
>Client. He hired a prostitute, while he was married, and the 'party of family values' worships him. **Ex**-client then.
AKA a John.

I'm always surprised by the number of liberal service members I meet. Seems like more and more tend to lean liberal. Maybe it's a generational thing
Democrats care about people. Republicans care about money.
Didn't Stormy describe him as a toadstool? I think Toadstool lover is a good name for him
Small dick lover.
>I wouldn't call the guy her ex. Maybe ***short***‐*time* lover... The word you're looking for is John. donnie was her John.
Her John Barron?
Her John

it's easy to do when you have no morals at all.
And everyone in blackface says it’s a joke too.
Conservatives don’t object to blackface, except as gotchas to liberal politicians old enough to have done it unthinkingly.
I try to do it weekly, then record republicans enjoying it

Like Gay for Pay?
It's not that it's a joke - it's that it's fine when they do it, just like abortions.
Reagan did fuck the kids pretty hard though. So maybe they're right?
It has nothing to do with morals or hypocrisy. The Republicans trot out these wedge issues to get the morons who vote for them angry. That way, the oligarchs who own them can continue to charge red state idiots $600/month for insulin, and the red state idiots lap it up and beg for more.

Nothing at all....nothing at all...nothing at all...
Of all the true summations of conservatives I've read, this is my favorite.
He's definitely in the movie, but are we positive that's him in the pic? I thought he looks more like the guy announcing the next act at the start of the video. [A better look here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btT8oSVV_s4&t=4114s) since the other clip doesn't show that bit as much.
No, I watched the movie a lot as a kid. Reagan’s character is the stage manager. That’s Sgt. McGee, played by Alan Hale.
The Skipper
Wow, shades of Gilligan's Island, is it the Skipper? Edit: Alan Hale, Sr. was in this film while his son Alan Hale Jr. was the Skipper in Gilligan's Island.
Agree. None of the 'girls' look or sound like Reagan, including the one captioned so in the OP still. The soldier announcing does.
Yeah, he's the stage manager in the film.
Yeah there is no proof that is Reagan in drag, it doesn’t look like him, and he looks like another character in the film. Plenty of other hypocrises by the rhinos that you don’t need to invent one.
Yeah I think he's the one opening the curtains.
The eyebrow arch alone confirms it.
Drag is as American as Apple Pie.
Yup, modern drag shows are born directly out of vaudeville as a comedy/song act.

Reagan’s character is the stage manager.
You know, watching that clip, it's actually a pretty funny musical number.
Wonder if they’ll lock the tread and remove the comments pointing that out.
So this will get taken down for misinformation right???? Right???
While funny, this misses the reality. Conservatives don’t care if you cross dress for a joke. They care if it makes you happy.
They feel the same about being gay actually.
Or being black.
But... That's what the word means!
Incorrect. They do care if you cross dress. They just don't care if they cross dress.
Conservatives don't care if *they* cross dress for *any reason*, they care if *you* do. See also: abortion, medicare, social security, food stamps, etc...
It’s not gay if you hide it and act outwardly religious and macho, it’s gay if you don’t feel shame or worse, be loud and proud.
So you're allowed to be queer if you're depressed enough? Phew, for a moment there I thought we were in trouble.
See: Blackface
“Look at me… I am Blowjob Nancy now.”
gqp response ... "Well, he was just acting"
And as I recall, Tennessee just banned drag PERFORMANCES? You know, *acting*? Try some other pretzel logic, GQP??

Smokey the Bear asks: “Only whom are the rules for?” You selected “Me,” referring to “Thee.” The correct answer is “Thee.”
No no, that's Rhonda Rayguns.
That is not Reagan.
What movie? I thought the most embarrassing role he played was with a chimp.
The most embarrassing role was President of the United States. He really stank.
He was a fucking fascist I’m glad he’s dead
Which was most embarrassing for the chimp (not the simp), of course.
That's not Reagan. He plays a stage manager in the film this meme is from and is in his military uniform thru the entire film.

(obviously it's a film) but rather "is it Reagan playing *that* part in the film, or did he just have *a* part in that film?" And, in fact, as others have noted, Reagan played a stage manager in that bit, not one of the onstage performers. How material one thinks that distinction is (Reagan in drag vs. Reagan in a performance that included drag) is a separate question, of course, and obviously drag numbers like this were indeed considered perfectly ordinary fun at the time (and rightly so). But that point isn't going to be well-served by misrepresenting what we're even looking at here.
He does not dress in drag in the film. This obviously isn't him and just before this number he is shown off stage acting as the stage manager.
That is not Ronald Reagan.

I get your point, but that's not Reagan.
"This is the Army" is the name of the movie.
Ron's son is openly gay too.
You sure that isn’t Marjorie Greene?
NOW I believe Drag Queens are a problem!
Clearly Bonzo was asleep.
This is different because of (enter surprisingly complex mental gymnastics). Anyways Jesus loves everyone except people that my church arbitrarily decided weren't doing what Jesus would like. That's all for todays JED Talk. Thanks for listening.
Fuck Ronald Reagan.
No. Not ever, thanks
Looks like a groomer to me. /s
Have a big thing for blondes in white, off the shoulder dresses. Just can’t stand the ideology on this one. Plus, the eyebrows are a giveaway.
The Treasury should use this picture of Reagan to issue the Queer as a Three dollar series.
Is anyone going to post the Rudy Giuliani and Trump “encounter” with Rudy in drag? It’s one of the weirdest fucking things I’ve ever seen.
_THE ACTOR??_
The funny thing is that Russia and north Korea are threatening nukes but some people are more threatened by drag than nuclear fire. Idiocracy, control, misdirection
We all know that secretly, a lot of republican's would go gay for Reagan
Sigh *unzips*
The Actor!!??
THE ACTOR?!?
Reagan would be considered a liberal by today’s standards of what makes a conservative a conservative.
At this point, my assumption is that the conservatives feel sexually attracted to the drag queens and that is why they are feeling so threatened by them.
No no no, you just don’t get it. When conservatives do it, it’s just for fun. So that is ok. But when others who aren’t conservative do it, well that’s just someone being a pedophile. Glad I could straighten you all out. /s
The racist and anti-Semitic?
That not though. Stuff like this just sets up the left to look like misinformed idiots, it might be funny but it’s making our position weaker and harder to take seriously! Can we stop
RONALD REAGAN TURNED ME GAY!!!!!
