Answer 4

The short answer is that Reagan restored a lot of confidence in being "America". The 70s were just a humiliating time for the nation -- Nixon was scandalized in Watergate and resigned, Vietnam was lost, the economy was battered by an oil embargo and was recovering from a recession, a rescue attempt to free hostages in Iran failed horribly...things were pretty depressing.

Reagan came into office with a lot of tough talk and attitude. The guy was charismatic which came natural as he was an actor with a lot of experience on stage and screen, so he knew how to present himself in front of a crowd. He exuded a lot of confidence, faced down the Soviets (and called them an "evil empire"), tried to assassinate Qaddafi with jets, and wasn't afraid to "talk straight" against the enemies of America. People were actually worried that he might start WW3 because of the tough stance he took, but a lot more were encouraged at seeing this guy swagger into office. There's a reason why he earned the nickname "Ronny Raygun".
