I urge you to read this essay. It's the last one in a collection of essays I've been reading by Stuart Hall, the brilliant marxist cultural theorist active in the U.K. from the 1960s through 2014.
The Great Moving Right Show describes the changing political, economic and social climate in Great Britain in the 1970s which gave rise to Margaret Thatcher.
As I've been reading it, the parallels to the rise of Trump and his rightwing cronies in the U.S. were profound. It seems that the people at Black Agenda Report felt the same way.
A long essay, very worth your time.
I think Thatcherism was a blueprint for the GOP.
