From the rise of the Tea Party, to strident anti-immigration and anti-welfare movements, to the so-called ?war on women?, the United States on its surface appears to be caught in the turmoil of a culture war that has not relented since the Reagan era. But, as John Dombrink writes in The Twilight of Social Conservatism, the conservative backlash seen during Obama?s presidency is indicative not of a rising social conservative force in society, but of a waning one.Drawing on demographic research, political polls, contemporary media, and internet commentary, Dombrink demonstrates that the vitality of major social conservative ideas from the culture war era has faded. Support for once-divisive wedge issues, like same-sex marriage and reproductive rights, has increased dramatically, and Americans, particularly young Americans, are less religious and more libertarian than ever before. As he traces the end of the culture wars and the ?unwedging? of American politics over the last eight years, Dombrink is quick to caution that social conservatism has not disappeared entirely from view. Nevertheless, the once-prominent ?Moral Majority? pushing for dominance in American culture is now reconsidering itself as a minority, and Dombrink argues that it is unlikely that social conservative forces will ever regain the power and potency they once held in American politics. A comprehensive and insightful work, The Twilight of Social Conservatism deftly analyzes the liberalizing trends that created the social and political culture America has today and that portend to the culture America will have in years to come. 606 $aChristianity and culture$zUnited States 606 $aPolitics and culture$zUnited States 606 $aConservatism$zUnited States 606 $aCulture conflict$zUnnited States 606 $aSocial values$zUnited States 607 $aUnited States$xPolitics and government 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aChristianity and culture 615 0$aPolitics and culture 615 0$aConservatism 615 0$aCulture conflict 615 0$aSocial values 676 $a306.0973 700 $aDombrink$b John$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0928794 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910481024103321 996 $aThe Twilight of Social Conservatism$92441325 997 $aUNINA
