Yes, you explained their viewpoints [John Birchers] might soften my advocacy of Reagans style/legacy which you characterised as 'Reagan the myth'.

The Birchers are clearly extremists, and I fail to comprehend how you thought you'd advance your argument relying upon them.

My views of Bush/Reagan have changed little (I'm sure that surprises you - LOL), but I'm even less enamoured of the party faithful.

Fine. I have NO interest in changing minds. I also have NO interest in transparent agendas.
