Building on the arguments of Fiorinaâs acclaimed Culture War? The Myth of a Polarized America, this book explains how contemporary politics differs from that of previous eras and considers what might be done to overcome the unproductive politics of recent decades. Drawing on polling results and other data, Fiorina examines the disconnect between an unrepresentative âpolitical classâ and the citizenry it purports to represent, showing how politicians have become more polarized while voters remain moderate; how politiciansâ rhetoric and activities reflect hot-button issues that are not public priorities; and how politiciansâ dogmatic, divisive, and uncivil style of âdebateâ contrasts with the more civil discourse of ordinary Americans, who tend to be more polite and open to compromise than their leaders.
Disconnect depicts politicians out of touch with the larger public, distorting issues and information to appeal to narrow interest groups. It can help readers better understand the political divide between leaders and the American publicâand help steer a course for change.
