To be fair, the CIA did do some actual fuckery to make Carter lose
The whole Iran hostage thing was such obvious bullshit, Reagan runs on being the big strong conservative who can get the hostages back and it actually happens like a week into his presidency just like that? I don't buy that, I'd bet anything the CIA had an under the table deal with Iran especially since it meant having their man HW as the VP
Not that Carter isn't a war criminal piece of shit too but he's kinda like JFK in that he was slightly less shitty than average and even that was too much for the people calling the shots
I’m pretty sure the Reagan hostage deal stuff is actually confirmed, I don’t remember though whether it was tied into his illegal arms sales to Iran or if it was entirely separate from that

The Reagan stuff is confirmed, has been for years. It's not a conspiracy theory anymore, now it's just regular conspiracy
