America is "currently fighting its second Civil War." Partisan
politics are "ripping this country apart." The 2016 election "will
go down as the most acrimonious presidential campaign of all." Such
statements have become standard fare in American politics. In a
time marked by gridlock and incivility, it seems the only thing
Americans can agree on is this: we're more divided today than we've
ever been in our history. In Unstable Majorities Morris P. Fiorina
surveys American political history to reveal that, in fact, the
American public is not experiencing a period of unprecedented
polarization. Bypassing the alarmism that defines contemporary
punditry, he cites research and historical context that illuminate
the forces that shape voting patterns, political parties, and voter
behavior. By placing contemporary events in their proper context,
he corrects widespread misconceptions and gives reasons to be
optimistic about the future of American electoral politics.
