Evolution of Conservative Policy in the Republican Party
The chapter traces the evolution of conservative policy within the Republican Party, from compassionate conservatism under George W. Bush to the rise of Trumpism. It explores the shift in focus from social and Christian conservatism to foreign policy post-9/11, and the subsequent revival of cultural and economic conservatism during the Obama era catering to middle-class families. The chapter also delves into the challenges faced by Republicans and Democrats in building broader coalitions and adapting to appeal to a changing voter base in American politics.
