Sample Book Insights:

#1 The Trump presidency was not an exception to the Republican Party’s transformation, but rather the culmination of more than three decades of evolution. The party had radicalized in its ideology as well as in its approach to partisan warfare long before Trump came to office.

#2 Asymmetric polarization is the theory that since the 1970s, the Republican Party has moved much further to the right than the Democratic Party has moved to the left.

#3 The power of Republican moderation survived Goldwater. His overwhelming defeat by President Lyndon B. Johnson in the 1964 presidential election, which produced massive Democratic majorities in the House and Senate, led most in the GOP to conclude that the electorate was not ready for the kind of conservatism he promoted.

#4 The Democratic and Republican parties had been factionalized for much of the twentieth century, with Democrats courting liberal northern voters and conservatives southern voters. But during the 1970s, these alliances began to change, as the southern electorate joined the Republicans.
