Yep. Reagan believed the second advent was to come in his time and he was ready to blow the godless Soviets to kingdom come. Stillson from The Dead Zone was inspired off him (Played by Martin Sheen, so a younger, bizarro-world Jed Bartlet)
Only, the USSR wouldnβt first strike. And Reagan wasnβt willing to kickoff the ball game, even when his peacekeeper missile was ready.
Life went on and George H. W. Bush went on to condemn atheists as unamerican, himself a true believer. So the nut doesnβt fall too far from the tree.

Itβs hard to really illustrate to younger generations exactly how profoundly stupid George W. Bush is.
He isnβt stupid. His public personality was all an act. Go watch a video of him before he became a politician. Heβs smart, mean, and talks with North East accent.
I mean, part of that was his political strategy. He knew exactly what he was doing.
