Everywhere you look, these days, Conservatives are winning elections. No
matter where you look, the story is the same: white, angry men on the
Right are winning power. The Left, meanwhile, is divided and dispirited,
and rapidly losing ground. Fight the Right is a handbook on how to
survive the nasty, brutish and short-sighted era in which we find
ourselves and is designed to help progressives better understand their
conservative adversary, and ultimately defeat conservatives wherever the
battle is taking shape. It's a manual on how conservatives have
appropriated language and values, and how progressives can take both
back. Written in a fun, accessible, style, Fight the Right will appeal
to those about to launch an advocacy effort, as well as those who are
simply curious about how (and if) the Right thinks. It is chock full of
war stories and not-so-tall tales about winning progressive campaigns,
from everyone from Jean Chretien to Bobby Kennedy, Jr., and it will
argue--forcefully--that a United Right can't be defeated until a United
Left emerges. Wherever conservative power-brokers are hurting average
citizens and hard-working families, Fight the Right will provide a
tested road map on how to beat the bullies.
