How Republicans Quit Governing and Seized American Politics
A Scathing Indictment of the GOP's Descent into Partisanship and Division
The Republican Party has undergone a profound transformation in recent decades. Once a party of pragmatic conservatives, the GOP has become increasingly ideological and partisan, prioritizing power over governing. This transformation has had a devastating impact on American politics, leading to gridlock, dysfunction, and a decline in public trust.

In his new book, "How Republicans Quit Governing and Seized American Politics," acclaimed political analyst Thomas E. Mann provides a comprehensive analysis of this transformation. Mann argues that the GOP's shift away from governing began in the 1990s, with the rise of the Tea Party movement and the election of Newt Gingrich as Speaker of the House. These developments led to a new era of partisan warfare, in which compromise and bipartisanship were replaced by obstruction and ideological purity.
Mann traces the GOP's descent into partisanship through a series of case studies, including the Clinton impeachment, the George W. Bush administration, and the Obama presidency. He shows how the GOP has used these events to mobilize its base and demonize its opponents. This strategy has been successful in winning elections, but it has come at a great cost to the country.
The GOP's abandonment of governing has had a number of negative consequences. First, it has led to gridlock in Congress. With both parties unwilling to compromise, it has become increasingly difficult to pass legislation on even the most pressing issues. Second, it has undermined the public's trust in government. The constant bickering and obstructionism in Washington have made many Americans cynical about politics and their elected officials.
Third, the GOP's partisanship has exacerbated the country's political divisions. The two parties are now more ideologically polarized than ever before, and this polarization has made it difficult to find common ground on any issue. This division has also made it harder to address the country's most pressing challenges, such as climate change, income inequality, and gun violence.
Mann concludes his book with a series of recommendations for how to restore governing to American politics. He argues that the GOP needs to return to its roots as a pragmatic conservative party. He also calls on the Democratic Party to reach out to moderate Republicans and find common ground on issues where possible.
"How Republicans Quit Governing and Seized American Politics" is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the current state of American politics. Mann provides a clear and concise account of the GOP's transformation, and he offers a number of thoughtful recommendations for how to restore governing to our political system.
