How the Right Lost Its Mind

<p><b>"Bracing and immediate." <i>- The Washington Post</i></b></p><p>Once at the center of the American conservative movement, bestselling author and radio host Charles Sykes is a fierce opponent of Donald Trump and the right-wing media that enabled his rise.</p><p>In <i>How the Right Lost Its Mind,</i> Sykes presents an impassioned, regretful, and deeply thoughtful account of how the American conservative movement came to lose its values. How did a movement that was defined by its belief in limited government, individual liberty, free markets, traditional values, and civility find itself embracing bigotry, political intransigence, demagoguery, and outright falsehood? <i>How the Right Lost its Mind</i> addresses:<br />*Why are so many voters so credulous and immune to factual information reported by responsible media?<br />*Why did conservatives decide to overlook, even embrace, so many of Trump’s outrages, gaffes, conspiracy theories, falsehoods, and smears?<br />*Can conservatives govern? Or are they content merely to rage?<br />*How can the right recover its traditional values and persuade a new generation of their worth?</p>
