In the UK, when Thatcher (who was their version of Reagan) died, the lyrics “Ding, dong, the witch is dead” from the Wizard Of Oz suddenly became very popular.
Don’t worry, I hold plenty of hate in my heart for that removed too, but since I’m a few generations removed from the isle it doesn’t hit as close to home. I’d certainly let any Irishman take a hit at her before myself.
Well, I was just an immigrant in the place for a bit over a decade.
Still, having seen first hand the long term consequences of the purest expression of her and Reagan’s ideology (that shit also got copied all over Europe, including my own country, but in a diluted form), pure hate for Thatcher was one of those things I quickly learned from Common Britons and took into my heart.
The West has been fucked by that shit but I got the impression that the US and the UK got especially fucked and endured (and still are enduring) a much larger fall because of it.
