Respect is in trouble in the United States. Many Americans believe respecting others is a necessary virtue yet many struggle to respect opposing partisans. Surprisingly it is liberal citizens who hold respect as central to their view of democratic equality who often have difficulty granting respect to others. Drawing on evidence from national surveys focus groups survey experiments and the views of political theorists Jeff Spinner - Halev and Elizabeth Theiss - Morse explain why this is and why respect is vital to and yet so lacking in contemporary US politics. Respect and Loathing in American Democracy argues that liberals and conservatives are less divided than many believe but alienate one another because they moralize different issues. Liberals moralize social justice conservatives champion national solidarity and this worldview divide keeps them at odds. Respect is both far - reaching and vital yet it is much harder to grant than many recognize partly because of the unseen tension between respect social justice and national solidarity. Respect and Loathing in American Democracy proposes a path forward that while challenging is far from impossible for citizens to traverse.\u003cbr\u003e\nTitle: Respect And Loathing In American Democracy Polarization Moralization And The Undermining Of Equality\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor(s): Theiss - Morse Elizabeth\u003cbr\u003e\nPublisher: The University Of Chicago Press\u003cbr\u003e\nBarcode: 9780226831732\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 288 Pages, 33 Line Drawings, 23 Tables\u003cbr\u003e\nPublication Date: 4\/2\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\nSeries: Chicago Studies in American Politics\u003cbr\u003e\nCategory: Politics \u0026amp; Government","brand":"Theiss - Morse Elizabeth","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51332975526193,"sku":"IN-G-9780226831732","price":28.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0644\/6759\/9594\/files\/9780226831732_ae166c69-9634-4c75-a39f-ab94d0fb5f6d.jpg?v=1753226079","url":"https:\/\/bookdelivered.com\/products\/9780226831732-respect-and-loathing-in-american-democracy-polarization-moralization-and-the-undermining-of-equality","provider":"Book Delivered","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
