Listen, Liberal: Or, What Ever Happened to the Party of the People by Thomas Frank

5.0

Takes us through the Carter, Clinton and Obama administrations to point out how the People's Party was dismantled step by step, and not just by Republican policies. Introduced terms like "meritocracy", "the professional class" and "virtue politics" to my thought blurbs. Coherent and cogent explanation why Trump won 2016 and why voters repeatedly said to me "I would have voted for Sanders if he had won; since he didn't, I had to vote Trump". Validated a lot of what I've been arguing for and unbaffled a lot of my confusion.
