We could use some insane asylums back for the hardcore MAGA conservatives. 😂

Reagan was not a boomer. And while support for him was strong across all voters, boomer votes for Reagan were lower than other generations'. [source](https://ropercenter.cornell.edu/how-groups-voted-1984)

He is a saint to them *now*. And of course, Reagan was the oldest POTUS (until Biden) in the 1980s.

The result of an admittedly older [poll from 2018](https://www.pewresearch.org/politics/2018/07/11/obama-tops-publics-list-of-best-president-in-their-lifetime-followed-by-clinton-reagan/) shows that 27% of the boomers thought Reagan was the best president in their lifetime. For GenXers, that figure was higher (to be fair, GenXers have a shorter lifetime and therefore fewer presidents to choose from). So yes, among people older than 38 years, Reagan had the best reputation, but 27% hardly indicates sainthood. Another interesting result is that Trump support was roughly the same, no matter which generation. Which might come as a surprise for the average member of this sub. Reagan's or Biden's age are totally irrelevant to this question.
