Why supporting big government, trade barriers, and unchecked executive power is still conservative—and why MAGA’s worldview is far more coherent than its critics thinkWhen Donald Trump surged to the lead in the 2015 fight for the GOP presidential nomination, bewildered political watchers struggled to understand why, because his policy positions were often at odds with what had been Republican orthodoxy since the days of Ronald Reagan. The Right Way reveals what these political observers missed, presenting a multidimensional understanding of the conservative worldview that explains why Trump has succeeded in both building up and tearing down what conservatives have traditionally embraced.Marc Hetherington, Andrew Engelhardt, and Jonathan Weiler argue for a reimagining of conservatism that lends clarity to partisan paradoxes that otherwise seem inconsistent with the brand of conservatism most of us grew up with. Drawing on in-depth surveys from across America, they show how conservative voters rely on their general view of the world and human nature more broadly to understand the political world around them. Rather than preferences for limited government, conservative outlooks and dispositions explain why ordinary people who identify as conservatives vote the way they do on issues ranging from racial and gender equality to LGBTQ rights, immigration, redistribution, and foreign policy. They also tackle puzzles such as the willingness of today’s conservatives to support politicians who bend or even break norms and rules that have been central to democratic functioning throughout American history.Essential reading for polarized times, The Right Way demonstrates that while the politics of the moment may be in flux, worldviews about authority, tradition, community, and personal responsibility consistently shape how conservative voters evaluate public policies and choose their leaders.

“In this fascinating look at contemporary politics, [the authors] set out to explain what really causes the extreme political polarization seen today.” —Publishers WeeklyWhat’s in your garage: a Prius or a pickup? What’s in your coffee cup: Starbucks or Dunkin’ Donuts? What about your pet: cat or dog? As award-winning political scholars Marc Hetherington and Jonathan Weiler explain, even our smallest choices speak volumes about us—especially when it comes to our personalities and our politics. Liberals and conservatives seem to occupy different worlds because we have fundamentally different worldviews: systems of values that can be quickly diagnosed with a handful of simple questions, but which shape our lives and decisions in the most elemental ways. If we’re to overcome our seemingly intractable differences, Hetherington and Weiler show, we must first learn to master the psychological impulses that give rise to them, and to understand how politicians manipulate our mindsets for their own benefit.Drawing on groundbreaking original research, Prius or Pickup? provides the psychological key to America’s deadlocked politics, showing that we are divided not by ideologies but something deeper: personality differences that appear in everything from politics to parenting to the workplace to TV preferences, and that would be innocuous if only we could decouple them from our noxious political debate. “A fascinating way to look at the fracturing of a nation.” —Kirkus Reviews“An exceptionally insightful and entertaining exploration of the roots of tribalism in American (and European) society and politics, and its ominous consequences for democracy.” —Thomas E. Mann, Senior Fellow, Brookings Institution
