It's very easy to fool people if you know what they want to be fooled with. The best lies are the lies people want to hear. Reagan presented himself as just folks, and told people that the problems of the world were really simple, black and white.
We're seeing this now in the narrative of plucky Georgia being bullied by the evil Russian bear (which is a tissue of falsehoods through and through). And people fall for it.
