Behind the scenes, #reagan arranged to keep the Iranian hostages held, so that President #Carter would look weak and ineffectual. That gave Reagan an advantage and he won.
There's a parallel to how #trump is rumored to be in talks with #netanyahu to stop any deal regarding the Gaza Strip.
Don't let the propaganda and misinformation win, like it did in the 80s.
The gop will stop at no atrocity to hold power.
