Ronald Reagan is one of the most mythologized figures in American politics, but how did an actor and former Democrat become the standard-bearer of conservatism?

In this new series exclusively for Founding Members explore Reagan’s rise, legacy, and myth. Who was the real Ronald Reagan, and what does his story reveal about the Republican Party today under Donald Trump?

In Episode 1, we trace Reagan’s unlikely transformation from small-town Democrat to Hollywood liberal, and finally to conservative crusader. Raised in poverty in the Midwest, he found fame on the silver screen before becoming a union activist, only to be pulled rightward by Cold War paranoia, tax battles, and a new marriage.
