The Dimocrats strongly opposed Reagan's anti-missile system saying it would lead to nuclear war with the Soviets. They derisively called it "Star Wars" and tried to block funding for research on this project.
The technology needed to implement SDI was decades away. The type of system needed to defend against the Soviet's massive arsenal was simply unrealistic. Looking back, it was was a good head fake that caused Moscow to sink an enormous amount of money into defense. The result was an unsustainable economy and the collapse of the Soviet Union. My take, anyway.
