Forgive me for delving into deep musical trivia, but if I remember correctly it wasn’t just Johnny. Joey was reportedly a big fan of Reagan until the the Bitberg cemetery visit flap. Or so the story goes...

I don’t know. The piece I read by Johnny Ramone, about 2 years before his death, seemed to indicate longstanding, and deep political disagreemnet between him and the rest of the band.

Johnny was the Republican - and died last year. RIP

“Bonzo Goes to Bitburg” was the song that you’re referring to...”Bonzo” being Reagan, of course. Punks are being ironic when they address each other with “punk” nicknames.
