About this title

Synopsis

"Trees cause more pollution than cars." Ronald Reagan, 1981

Slavery, Women's suffrage. Child labor. Social Security. Jim Crow and desegregation. Leaded gas and other environmental issues. Interracial marriage. Conservatives have be wrong on every major social issue this country has faced. Drawing from the Congressional record, the media, and the campaign trail, this book documents what American conservatives have said throughout American history. You'll see how the beliefs and policies of yesterday's conservatives sound stupid, odious, or shameful to us now. You'll also see the dark undercurrent of violence that has always accompanied people protecting wealth and power. You get a glimpse to how future Americans will see this election year's conservatives like Donald Trump and Ted Cruz as ignorant and vile. Just in time for the 2016 campaign, this book is powerful evidence supporting Americans who believe in progress, equality, and justice.
