Story
In Let Them Eat Tweets, best-selling political scientists Jacob S. Hacker and Paul Pierson offer a definitive answer: the Republican Party serves its plutocratic masters to a degree without precedent in modern global history. Conservative parties, by their nature, almost always side with the rich. But when faced with popular resistance, they usually make concessions, allowing some policies that benefit the working and middle classes. After all, how can a political party maintain power in a democracy if it serves only the interests of a narrow and wealthy slice of society?

Well researched and connects the dots about the conservative dilemma. I learned through this book what I intuitively sensed... how the republican party has succeeded in getting so many people to vote against their economic interests by outsourcing to groups that vote based on social issues and racial resentment.
