Contrary to those who argue that demographics are political destiny, social trends are transforming identity categories of race, gender, and youth - all of which provide rich opportunities for Republicans to create a new majority. To accomplish this, Republicans will need imagination and political acumen if they are to win over those constituencies that have become the base of the Democratic minorities, young women, and millennials. Behind the reality of current voting patterns, which without doubt presents a gloomy future for the Republican Party, social trends and a deeper analysis of political attitudes reveal there is much room for Republican optimism.
In this critical, data-driven book, Future Right , Donald Critchlow explores strategies for the right that will help them succeed where Democrats are how to speak to the new population of a rising and successful minority class and how to reform the salacious alliance between the government and the one percent.
It is time for Republicans to adapt to societal trends for the creation of a new, transformative politics that will not only help them win the future elections, but revive a system long overrun by outmoded, top-heavy politics.
Well this book was good. My goal was to have it done by the midterm elections this year and I could know how to analyze them better.
I had Dr. Critchlow as a professor at ASU and this is his first book I read by him. It’s basically his way of telling us how the Republican Party can win out in future election based on how different demographics vote. It’s very informative and it gave me a lot of knowledge that I didn’t have before.
He goes through women, racial minorities, middle class, etc and explains each of their voting history and the possible future of who they will support. I learned a lot and I think you will too if you are interested in learning how to advance the Republican Party to others.
Only catch though is that it was released in mid 2016 and I would really love to see an updated version on his analysis of the 2016 presidential election.
