MAGA and the White Social Conservative Worldview

Political rhetoric has consequences and defines electoral narratives that create policy. MAGA and the White Social Conservative Worldview: The Rhetoric that Colonized the Republican Party examines the narratives of the White social conservative worldview proponents that provided the foundations for the colonization of the Republican Party by Donald Trump.

MAGA and the White Social Conservative Worldview: The Rhetoric that Colonized the Republican Party examines how political narratives of the American myth created the road that Donald Trump used to colonize and take control of not only the Republican Party but the Republican base voter that was created through the political narratives of politicians including Thomas Jefferson, John Calhoun, Strom Thurmond, George Wallace, Barry Goldwater, Ronald Reagan, Richard Nixon, Pat Buchanan, and Newt Gingrich. All of which culminated in the rhetoric and politics of the Tea Party and its subsequent champion Donald Trump. MAGA and the White Social Conservative Worldview examines how Trump benefited from decades of resentment, Southern Strategy politics and narratives within White social conservatism within the Republican Party. Donald Trump is the heir of the party, with the seismic party change of Strom Thurmond and a large bloc of Southern voters in reaction to Civil Rights and Voting Rights Acts of the 1960s and the Republican’s ultimate adoption of the politics of states’ rights and fear of tyranny from the federal government. This book summarizes foundational rhetorical narratives of the Whitesocial conservative worldview that formed the basis for the rise of its newest incantation – Trumpism and how this newest iteration of ideas dating back to Jefferson and Calhoun colonized the modern Republican Party.
