I saw this image which depicted several presidents as chaos gods. I get how Clinton is Slaanesh, Obama is Tzeentch & Bush is Khorne, but I don't get how Reagan is Nurgle. Can somebody please explain?

US Presidents as Chaos Gods.

If I recall correctly Reagen was stricken by Alzheimer's not sure if that make any sense though.

"Death to the sandmonkeys!"

lol'd

Reagan was supposedly suffering from Alzheimer's disease and dementia most of his second term. Though it could also be a comment on his (supposedly) stagnating policies, that is totally arguable though and would just cause shouting. Also it could be that Reagan is the "model" for conservative politicians and Nurgle is literally the god of eternally not changing.

The other three are perfect fits though...wow.

“The whole modern world has divided itself into Conservatives and Progressives. The business of Progressives is to go on making mistakes. The business of Conservatives is to prevent mistakes from being corrected. Even when the revolutionist might himself repent of his revolution, the traditionalist is already defending it as part of his tradition. Thus we have two great types -- the advanced person who rushes us into ruin, and the retrospective person who admires the ruins. He admires them especially by moonlight, not to say moonshine. Each new blunder of the progressive or prig becomes instantly a legend of immemorial antiquity for the snob. This is called the balance, or mutual check, in our Constitution.” G.K. Chesterton

Politicians are all as bad as each other.

I agree with the people who say that Reagan is probably aligned with Nurgle because of his illness. He'd probably appreciate the humour of the situation.

Reagan is Nurgle because...
Nurgle... Is... The... Least... Evil... Chaos... God?

Andrew Jackson is Khorne

More like most evil chaos god....Worship me and you'll get? Disease, eternally unchanging life....

Sheesh, what a lazy application of this idea.

Anyhow, William Harrison should be Nurgle. This is obvious.

Actually, G Washington or bush would be Tzeentch as bush was so underhanded and dishonest and George Washington because he was so mercenary, only selling his services to the "country" who gave him the highest commission. of course, since he also single handedly tried to populate Virginia (with his own children with any woman who would "sit still" long enough for him, he could also be slannesh. lol
JFK could also be slannesh for rather obvious reasons.
I'm thinking Reagan would be more Khorne than Nurgle because of his efforts with the cold war.
I can see this thread getting very political and heated very fast.

Slaanesh isn't evil, he just wants everyone to have a good time.

This has no potential to end well.
