Agreed, but Reagan popularized the ideas that it is elitist to expect a president to be competent, that complex legislative topics should make sense at the dinner table, and that government is the enemy of freedom. Both Nixon and Reagan were willing to trade in bigotry for political gain, and both were the sort of cynical "me-first" conservatives that taught boomers to mortgage the future. But Reagan had the charisma that Nixon lacked.
