In Let Them Eat Tweets, best-selling political scientists Jacob S.
Hacker and Paul Pierson argue that despite the rhetoric of Donald
Trump, Josh Hawley, and other right-wing "populists," the
Republican Party came to serve its plutocratic masters to a degree
without precedent in modern global history. To maintain power while
serving the 0.1 percent, the GOP has relied on increasingly
incendiary racial and cultural appeals to its almost entirely white
base. Calling this dangerous hybrid "plutocratic populism," Hacker
and Pierson show how, over the last forty years, reactionary
plutocrats and right-wing populists have become the two faces of a
party that now actively undermines democracy to achieve its goals
against the will of the majority of Americans. Based on decades of
research and featuring a new epilogue about the intensification of
GOP radicalism after the 2020 election, Let Them Eat Tweets
authoritatively explains the doom loop of tax cutting and
fearmongering that defines the Republican Party-and reveals how the
rest of us can fight back.
