The author argues that Trump's rapid rise through a bewildered Republican Party hierarchy is no anomaly; rather, it is the most recent expression of a long-standing theme in American political life, the tendency and temptation to an ascriptive politics--a political view that builds its basic case on ascribing to any relatively disempowered group (whether defined by race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, religious belief, or other identifying category) a certain set of qualities that justify discriminatory treatment.Public works (Amherst College Press)PresidentsUnited StatesElection2016AuthoritarianismUnited StatesPolitical cultureUnited StatesPresidentsElectionAuthoritarianismPolitical cultureMacWilliams Matthew C1207246EYMEYMEYMBOOK9910514194103321The Rise of Trump2784765UNINA
