Opinion of Ronald Reagan?

I really don't care about the study

This is why I don’t take Democrats seriously when they say, “we’re the ones who listen to the scientists!”

Dude, evaluations of presidents cannot even remotely be compared to scientific studies. It’s not even close. It’s something that’s inherently subjective and unscientific.

If they’re so subjective and not based on science at all, why has if Reagan been ranked in the top half in every presidential ranking this century, and often in the top 3rd- including by Democrats?

There’s no ifs about it. Science and the scientific method have definitions, and this isn’t it. The existence of a consensus opinion on a subject does not make that opinion a fact or make that opinion scientific. A majority of professional football analysts rank Tom Brady as the best quarterback of all time, and a majority of Christian theologians agree on the existence of the Trinity. Neither of those statements are in any way scientific, nor do they represent facts.

I mean, if there’s a general consensus of scientists, you can bet they’re right. This isn’t something they pulled out of their ass either, they’res actual research into how good presidents were- which is why people like Lincoln always rank in the top, and people like Buchanan always rank in the bottom.

It’s not objective, it’s not falsifiable, it’s not science. A consensus of historians is not science, no matter how much you want it to be.
