Description
Charles Sykes presents a deeply thoughtful account of how the American conservative movement came to lose its values. In "How the Right Lost Its Mind", he explores the issues that face conservatives under a Trump presidency, including the apparent credulity of some voters and the failure to govern effectively. Sykes examines why conservatives overlooked or even embraced many of Trump's outrages, gaffes, conspiracy theories, falsehoods, and smears. He also considers how the right can recover its traditional values and persuade a new generation of their worth. This is a thought-provoking analysis that asks fundamental questions about the future of conservatism in America. By exploring these key issues, Sykes offers a nuanced understanding of the challenges facing American conservatives today.
