What does "since Reagan" matter? Reagan may be the worst pres. this country's had.
It's not about a total loss of freedoms. It's about infringement. Take a little at a time. You want an example...healthcare. Did he take it away. Not necessarily. What he did do is change things to the point that honest, hard working people are now paying double and triple premiums for lesser insurance coverage than what they were prior to his occupation.
If you study history, dictators are seldom successful in taking rights away outright. Instead, they formulate a plan with their supports to chip away at your freedoms and rights until the people reach one of two limits. Either they can no longer afford anything without government assistance, or they are weakened to the point of no ability to fight for/defend their rights. At that point, dictators are able to take away any freedom they so choose.
So did he take many freedoms away? No. But he worked hard on laying the foundation for who, in his mind, was to be his successor.
I believe the terms you are searching for are either "Incrementalism" or "Gradualism" on the loss of freedoms. An example, here in OK, it is having to pay more to get less health care from the only health care provider that is still in OK(after being told that you can keep your doctor & provider AND SAVE $2500 A YEAR).

Obama has funded ISIS in his futile attempts to overthrow Aasad of Syria and hundreds of thousands of people have died at the hands of ISIS and that organization has grown into the most feared terrorist groups in the world. Moreover, he has brought in terrorists among his "immigrants" as told by his own CIA. Don't try and reveal your ignorance by claiming Obama has been good for our country.
He has done nothing good and is going out lying about his accomplishments. If you will but notice, his spokesman, Obama and a corrupt media are the only ones touting his achievements.
As for Trump, I voted for him over Hillary who said she would continue Obama's policies and would call upon Obama for advise. Politicians have placed our country in peril to advance their selfish agendas, Ttrump is placing non-politicians in various positions of authority and I believe these people have accepted their positions not to make more money but for love of country. I believe Trump is correct by putting successful people in these positions because the vacant manage whereas the sleazy lawyer politicians have their bank accounts in mind when they take office. Time will tell, these appointees certainly can't hurt the country anymore than the likes of McCain, McConnell, Pelosi, Reid and others.

Article 2 of the Constitution states the requirements to be eligible for President, "No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States."
Which of those requirements does Trump not meet? Those are the only "qualifications" to be President. You could say that you think he will be a poor President, but to say he is "unqualified" would be incorrect.
So if you "completely understand" why certain things are banned on federal property and/or that they can present a threat or at the least concern for LEOs tasked with people's safety; why would you think it is "hypocritical" to follow the law?
Can you share where the Republican Party has in their platform where they say "one should always be allowed to be armed"? I missed that one along with the part where the are prejudicial to people of color.
Can you share (as in provide a link) where Pence actually said that?
I have asked several folks who are progressively challenged that whined like a veterinary term for two female dogs that claimed what you stated. They could not provide anything beyond a liberal coloring book that tried to color outside the lines.
I didn't assume anything. Did you vote for Hillary? Yes or no?
Trump is the worst candidate in history? That's not what the voting showed. Granted he might have hurt some feelings, and I'm thinking that might cater to your emotions, but in terms of what he said about the status quo, it was spot on. Seemed enough agreed to vote him in too.
I'd say the loss of freedom to choose or deny healthcare coverage is a huge one.
