American Rage argues that anger is the central emotion governing
contemporary US politics, with powerful, deleterious effects.
Tracing the developments that have given rise to a culture of anger
in the mass public, the book sheds new light on both public opinion
and voting behavior. Steven W. Webster skillfully uses a
combination of novel datasets, new measures of anger, and a series
of experiments to show how anger causes citizens to lose trust in
the national government and weaken in their commitment to
democratic norms and values. Despite these negative consequences,
political elites strategically seek to elicit anger among their
supporters. Presenting compelling evidence, Webster ultimately
concludes that elites engage in this behavior because voter anger
leads to voter loyalty. When voters are angry, they are more likely
to vote for their party's slate of candidates at multiple levels of
the federal electoral system.
