And Reagan was just about the furthest thing from a non-interventionist possible.

Yeah. Really. Besides, from what I've hear, MLK was not a Conservative.

I don't think that's the King Libertas has in mind.

What King does Libertas have in mind?

Probably someone like former Florida State Senator James King, who might fit the 'classical liberal' appellation a bit better than Reagan.

It seems like that King was only in politics beginnign in 1986. If you'd seen JCL when he first came on here, he's had Martin Luther King Jr. in at least every other scenario he's proposed.

King is the leader of the So-Cons in this timeline. IRL he was a serious moral conservative. As he was rather anti war.

Reagan ITTL is more influenced by Hayak and other classical liberal (libertarian) thinkers as well as Taft and Goldwater in the 1950's

So indeed I do have MLK on this one

I'm pretty sure Goldwater wasn't a non-interventionist.
