The Great Revolt


Book Description

A CNN political analyst and a Republican strategist reframe the discussion of the “Trump voter” to answer the question, What’s next? NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY FOREIGN AFFAIRS • “Unlike most retellings of the 2016 election, The Great Revolt provides a cohesive, non-wild-eyed argument about where the Republican Party could be headed.”—The Atlantic Political experts were wrong about the 2016 election and they continue to blow it, predicting the coming demise of the president without pausing to consider the durability of the winds that swept him into office. Salena Zito and Brad Todd have traveled over 27,000 miles of country roads to interview more than three hundred Trump voters in ten swing counties. What emerges is a portrait of a group of citizens who span job descriptions, income brackets, education levels, and party allegiances, united by their desire to be part of a movement larger than themselves. They want to put pragmatism before ideology and localism before globalism, and demand the respect they deserve from Washington. The 2016 election signaled a realignment in American politics that will outlast any one president. Zito and Todd reframe the discussion of the “Trump voter” to answer the question, What’s next?

Thats Crap and You Know It


Book Description

The title of this book may have caused you to raise your eyebrows just a little, but since you are reading this, it must have also caused you to pick it up to learn more. But it should cause you to do much more than that. It should cause you and the others who will read these chapters to think, to be concerned, and to act. That’s Crap and You Know It: How to Raise Conservative kids to Stand Against Liberalism is a challenge to conservative parents to get active, to get aggressive, and to get busy in order to raise their children to carry the conservative torch into the future. It is the call to imperative action – an action to show our kids what we believe as conservatives and why we believe it. The eleven chapters in this book set down what we know to be proven ways to raise kids who are certain and outspoken about their conservative beliefs. Through these pages, parents are shown how to promote political involvement within their kids, to teach them to use their voices in the ballot box and on the courthouse square, and to know the truth about our American history, our heritage, and the conservative principles that have made our nation the greatest on earth. Most importantly of all, this book is a call for parents to empower their kids, to give them license to speak out and to stand up – even when the liberal world tries to silence them with lies, name-calling, and an agenda that is vast and powerful. It is, if you will, a call to teach our conservative kids to respond to the liberal progressive agenda with those six little words that say it all... “That’s crap, and you know it”.
