Will Ferrell is taking another swing at impersonating a Republican president.
The actor, who spent a good chunk of his time on SNL playing President George W. Bush, has signed on to play Ronald Reagan in a satiric film called "Reagan," Variety reported Wednesday.
Specifically, he's portraying late-career Reagan as an old man afflicted with Alzheimer's and rapidly descending into dementia. In the script, an ambitious intern is tasked with convincing the commander-in-chief that he's an actor playing the president.

Oh come on, seems harmless enough. Who could possibly get triggered by this movie?

I mean I like Reagan, but /pol/ worships him as a godmeme.

well ignoring the political angles, Alzheimer's is not something to make fun of
how would the steven hawking movie have done if it was one long string of jokes about paraplegics....
Surely the kind of people who want to go and see a Will Ferrell movie are too young to remember Reagan?
Anyone old enough doesn't need the movie anyway, they already remember living under a president who made decisions via the cosmic power of astrology.

No they don't. They hate his guts.

>/pol/ is one person
Redditfag, pls go. Just as much of /pol/ is anti-authoritarian as are.

Redditors don't understand the difference between Conservative, Liberal, Authoritarian and Libertarian axes. They only know Reagan is a Republican and so assume he's /pol/.

It's been nearly 30 fucking years since the man was in office.
Move the fuck on already.

>/pol/ isn't Liberal
>therefore, /pol/ loves Reagan

I hate Reagan and yet even I think this is poor form. Making fun of an old many suffering from Alhzeimer's? what's the point of that? If you want to bring down a man, do it while he is at his highest.
hahaha suck it trumpfags it's obviously a trump parody fucking conversatards btfo
