I suspect many people who want to "simply re-regulate financial institutions the way [the US] did during the period from the 1930s through the 1990s" are not fully aware of what those regulations entailed, or why they were repealed. The example I cited might be a motivating factor for such people to get more informed before they decide what they "like". I would further add that counting "like"s is probably not the best way to figure out how to reduce systematic risk in the financial system.
"are not fully aware of what those regulations entailed, or why they were repealed. "
But they are fully aware that the system worked pretty well, and was pretty stable, for decades, although it wasn't quite as profitable for the financial industry.
