It's funny that the same people who praised Trump for trying to bring back coal and steel jobs to America are the same ones praising Thatcher whose legacy was deliberately destroying coal, steel and other heavy industries in the UK.
Funny that those same people who rail against the power of the banking industry applaud a woman who deregulated the banks and allowed their share of the economy to increase from less than 2% to more than 20% giving them an iron grip on the nation's finances and allowing them to engage cowboy practices that have resulted in some of the worst economic crashes in history.
But it's not about reality that makes these people like her. It's because she's a "conservative". Shallow identity politics is as far as they dare to go because being forced to examine their wildly conflicting opinions would make them see how dumb they really are.

Had to laugh while reading this title.
Feminism = female equality.
Thatcher did nothing to advance female equality, she got in power and pulled the ladder up behind her. She only ever appointed one woman into her cabinet and it's well documented that she had nothing but derision for women's lib movement and her attitudes towards women were misogynistic.
Yes her existence as the first female prime minister served as a positive example to women whether she wanted it or not. But saying she 'embodies feminist ideals' is akin to saying that Priti Patel 'embodies anti-racist ideals.' That is to say, total rubbish.
