I don’t go quite that far, but the right is long overdue for a re-assessment of Reagan and Thatcher.

Reagans’s failures - Financialization, deindustrialization, Hedge fund economics, Amnesty, mass immigraion, gun control, NeoCon foreign policy delusions, Messianic propositional citizenship. NAFTA. All those things were long term disasters. The wins - victory in the Cold War and disinflation weren’t permanent gains

Thatcher- a lot of the same, but instead of NAFTA, wildly empowering the EU via the Single European Act. Only wins were disinflation and getting the unions under control

Britain was lost the second Atlee took office, though the roots of UK demise were laid far before then. As with Trump in America, the only man who could have saved England was Enoch Powell and they drove him from public life.

President Reagan signed no Gun Control Legislation during his term. He DID very foolish support an awb in 1994. President Trump sign a bump stock ban, and was supportive of taking guns without due process for a bit, but that stopped.
