Chronicling Conservatism

- Опубликовано: 26 авг 2024
- The renowned chronicler of conservatism, Rick Perlstein, author of "Before the Storm" and "Nixonland," turns his attention to Ronald Reagan. In his newest book, "The Invisible Bridge: The Fall of Nixon and the Rise of Reagan," Perlstein argues that a skeptical and suspicious American public proved surprisingly fertile ground for the advance of a new political Right. Perlstein will detail Reagan's ascent from aspiring actor to conservative icon. Mark Bazer, host and founder of "The Interview Show" and co-host of "My Chicago" on WTTW will join him for a conversation.

In 1976 I was a high school senior. One of those kids questioning the validity of America. It was Post Vietnam and we were sick of "America Love It Or Leave It" view. Our hero's were the older kids in SDS who protested against the war. We were generation Woodstock and the future was ours! Our views dominated college discussions between 1976 and 1980. Ronald Ray gun was a clown! The anti-intellectuals loved this guy. America is an anti-intellectual nation and Reagan was their guy in 1980.

True, but Fareed just had him on CNN on Dec. 1, 2019.

wow. i love the revisionism here. we were losing the vietnam war? i guess you don't recall a stand off until the new democrat majority senate blocked funding the south vietnamese. reagan says watergate wasn't a big deal? wowzers did i miss that.
Yes,the North Vietnam army was not defeated by the US or South Vietnam. Not in '66, not in '75. The US could not ever win that war. Your "bUt tHe DemmYCRats CuT thE Fundingszsz" is tired, rightwing nonsense. My Vietnam Combat Veteran Father tries to push that garbage too.
We lost, get over it. Stabbed in back, lost cause nonsense. And yes, Reagan was a vehement defender of Nixon even when his approval rating dropped to 25 percent.
