Aleph - Analisi strategiche’s Post

Contemporaries described Ronald Reagan’s rise to the presidency in 1980 as “the election that Watergate postponed.” It heralded a political realignment not seen since Roosevelt, dispatching the remnants of the New Deal coalition. But what happened between Nixon and Reagan? The conservative movement born under Buckley and Goldwater matured, extending its influence far into the world of capital and nurturing the powerful religious right. The Republican Party became the party Americans recognize today: the party of aggressive anti-communism, merciless tax cuts, and straight-laced Puritanism. In this second piece on the American Right, a vivid portrait is painted of American society from 1972 to 1992. To understand American politics today, this is indispensable. - Antonio Carapella for Aleph https://lnkd.in/dNMycvqc
