Populism and Historical Narratives
This chapter explores the transformation of the Republican Party through the lens of populism, addressing the rise of extreme political views within mainstream discourse. It critiques the 1619 Project and other historical reinterpretations that reshape American identity, linking them to larger ideological divides. The discussion further examines the impact of modern conservatism, cultural nostalgia, and how historical events like World War II are framed to reflect contemporary political tensions.
