Probably not a coincidence that Margaret Thatcher was probably the most scientifically literate leader ever in the anglosphere but also the most hated.

Science also gave us eugenics, which was later proven to be unscientific. Thatcher's administration is as difficult to understand fully as is Reagan's administration, but one sin stands out in both cases: they - whittingly or unwhittingly - set the gears in motion to glean the middle and lower classes of their potential and the fruits of their labour, whilst the 1% took the increasing share of the profits, hoarding that money overseas.
