    I don’t think a Thatcher type could win in the US (thankfully) - there are a ton of evangelicals who don’t believe in women having authority on the Republican side, even if that woman is a hateful cow who believes the same things they do.

      I think Republicans want authoritarianism any way they can get it, and ideological consistency is not a priority for them.

        They do, but there are enough conservatives who really hate women that I don’t think we’ll see a female Republican nominee for a long time. VP again, sure, but look at how a lot of people talked about Nikki Haley. She’s plenty authoritarian and a ton of them hated her.
