Max voting for Reagan 4 times (twice for governor, twice for president) is one the easiest headcanons to make up. when Reagan lost Santa Carla (aka Santa Cruz) in '84, he asked for votes to be recounted. also, did he commit voter fraud to be able to vote as a vampire? probably. and in the least cool way possible. and he believes Reaganomics deserve a Nobel Prize.
if he'd still been alive in the 90s, he might've cried when Barry Goldwater (after leaving the senate in '87 of course, which he was probably also quite sad about) decided that gay people were okay actually. similarly, he would've loved the Reagan movie with Dennis Quaid from a few years ago. would've been sat there for opening night actually.
all that to say that I find the politics behind The Lost Boys (movie and musical) very fascinating.
