So what if Lynch is a Reaganite? What bearing does that have on whether he makes good movies? Pound was a fascist and he wrote some fine poetry. Stevens said in a letter that the only good thing happening in the world was that they were killing Communists in Korea, and he wrote some fine poetry too. And there are writers and artists with good politics who produce unbearable crap.
