Extra, extra! Sarah Palin is exactly what you thought she was!

I'd say that is a pretty generous interpretation of "Reagan's election was symbolic of humanity's history of despotism and horrific behavior."

The difference between "Reagan is evil" and "Reagan was the figurehead of evil" (using "evil" as a replacement for "despotic and horrific") isn't really all that significant, at least to me.

But really, I stopped reading after George Bush was one of the stupidest people alive (kind of takes me back to what I was saying the other day about conservative elitism positioning the opposition as immoral while liberal elitism positions it as stupidity) so I wouldn't have noticed the rest much if others hadn't started talking about it.
