Showing results for "Elephants" in Politics & Social Sciences

Human beings are primates, and primates are political animals. Our brains, therefore, are designed not just to hunt and gather but also to help us get ahead socially, often via deception and self-deception.

Rogue Elephant traces the radicalization of the Republican Party over the past 50 years, arguing that its subordination to Donald Trump was not an anomaly, but rather the culmination of processes at work for decades. Providing a new perspective on figures from Newt Gingrich and George W. Bush to the Tea Party and Donald Trump, it shows that the party's lurch to the far right was the product of a volatile mix of a disorganized party structure and a divided and fractious class of American business owners.

Republican and Democrat dissent, with a growing hatred for the opposite party, has risen sharply like never before in our history. America is experiencing a political divide that intensified during the first year of President Trump’s administration. The political landscape has changed dramatically in the last decade and the Internet has played a massive role in this transformation. Experts reveal how social media, although a relatively new phenomenon, is being used maliciously to drive the nation apart.
