I was a very junior member of the radical right 35 years ago. Believe me, we were marginal. We fantastized about undoing the Great Society and the New Deal and restoring Manchester liberalism to its rightful place in human affairs. We thought it was a doomed pursuit, but we kept the dream alive. We had no idea that our fantasies would become reality just 10 years later. But by then, I'd rejoined the losing team.
