The Great Alignment: Race, Party Transformation, and the Rise of Donald Trump Audiobook (Free)

Alan We. Abramowitz has emerged as a respected spokesman for the look at that our current politics divide isn’t confined to a small band of elites and activists but an integral feature of the American public and cultural landscaping. The polarization from the politics and press elites, he argues, arose and persists since it accurately displays the condition of American society. Here, he goes further: the polarization is unique in modern U.S. history. Today’s party separate shows an unprecedented position of many different divides: racial and ethnic, religious, ideological, and geographic.

Abramowitz shows how the partisan positioning arose out of the breakup of the aged New Deal coalition; introduces the most important difference between our current period and history eras, the rise of ‘unfavorable partisanship’; clarifies how this trend paved the way for the Trump presidency; and examines why our polarization might even grow deeper. This statistically based analysis shows that racial anxiety is definitely by far a better predictor of support for Donald Trump than every other factor, including financial discontent.
