I think his admiration with what is the traditional image of smalltown America, which Reagan duped people into believing he represented, would explain Lynch's affiliation with the S.O.B. and his wife. Blue Velvet and Twin Peaks are both set in Anytown, U.S.A. with good boy scout type characters with a twisted side. So maybe Reagan was the personification of this with his image as the All-American Boy who is actually a war-mongering, hateful, deceitful sack of sh*t. This man who gave off the image of a loving grandfather would let hundreds of thousands of Americans die of AIDS without even mentioning the disease is a character, if not unfortunately real, could easily exist in a Lynch film.
