The Shifting Landscape of American Politics
This chapter explores reactionary politics and the notion of a lost 'golden age' in America, linking historical shifts in party identities to current political dynamics. It examines the Democratic Party's transition from representing working-class interests to focusing on cultural issues, alongside the complexities of elite identities in politics. The discussion also highlights the public's disconnection from government programs and skepticism towards modern political strategies aimed at reconnecting with the working class.
