I just remember watching him as a kid and he never really struck me as a particularly intelligent man but I suppose that was all part of the scheme to get this charming actor everyman into office to pull of a bunch of evil bullshit, much like today except with a different much much much much less charming actor

Thats the thing, he was an actor. He performed the role of the noble politician.

But the real reagan was in his early career. He was president of SAG, which is a union, and then went union busting as a politician. He informed to the FBI and the house un american committee about his fellow actors as to who might be communist during the red scare. Theres so much more, but then this would be a wall of text.

The charming idiot of his late presidency was partly act, partly and increasingly the dementia.
