This book provides a detailed examination of the 2016 presidential election, arguing that Donald Trump's victory was largely driven by identity politics rather than economic anxiety. The authors, John Sides, Michael Tesler, and Lynn Vavreck, analyze how Trump's campaign activated voters' identities, particularly among white voters without a college degree who held views on racial, ethnic, and religious minorities that aligned with Trump's platform. The book also discusses how Clinton and Trump won their respective nominations and addresses various factors that impacted the election results, such as the Access Hollywood tape and Russian interference. It emphasizes the increasing importance of group identity in predicting voter behavior and forecasts more intense conflict between political parties based on these identity issues.
