@AwfulVision Reagan was no conservative. As Governor of California, he signed legislation liberalizing the abortion law (six years before Roe v. Wade) and allowing no-fault divorce. He was nothing but a B movie actor with an ability to read a script well, and look where it got him. All the way to the White House.

In 1985 it was the same situation: January 20 fell on a Sunday for Reagan's second inaugural, just as it had in 1957 for Ike's second inaugural. Like Ike had done, Reagan was sworn-in in a private White House ceremony on Sunday, January 20, 1985 and the public ceremony was held the next day (Monday, January 21) at the U.S. Capitol.
I wish Republicans could try to be more like Ike instead of trying to out-Reagan each other.
"I'm the most Conservative! I'm the most like Reagan!"
"Nuh-uh! *I* am!"
Ike was proof you could be a Republican without being a crazy racist, a warmonger, a wingnut evangelical or a "fuck poor people" businessman as he was certainly none of these.
