Reagan’s enshrining as a conservative saint was largely due to the efforts of Grover Norquist in the 90s.
Lieberman has no Norquist, as neither side cares for centrists. There will be some weird glowing op-eds from the usual corporate rags, but they lack the power they had in the 90s.
He will mostly be forgotten except in places like Lemmy, where he will pop up as one of those “hey did you know why we don’t have proper healthcare?” TIL posts.
No offense, but Lemmy /= history books. These are the same history books that laud Reagan
And the lesson centrists took from that is “be like Reagan.”
Which explains congress’ actions to prevent the rail strike.
