The Trumpization of the Grand Old Party - PDF: https://lnkd.in/gvUPegSH Background: The purposes of this article are to (1) detail the extent to which the Republican Party personalized in the period from Donald Trump’s first becoming a presidential candidate through 2022 and the process by which it occurred, (2) suggest plausible explanatory factors, and (3) speculate as to possible consequences. Methods: The authors employ this special issue’s common conceptual framework and glean evidence from a broad accumulation of reportage and expert impressions from professional journalists.
