Change They Can't Believe In: The Tea Party and Reactionary Politics in America

Book • 2013
This book explores the Tea Party movement as part of a broader reactionary tradition in American politics.

It argues that the Tea Party's emergence is fueled by a perception that America is changing for the worse, rather than purely ideological or racist motivations.

The authors draw historical parallels with movements like the Know Nothing Party and the John Birch Society to understand the Tea Party's role in contemporary American politics.
