Everyday People provides a comprehensive assessment of Trump supporters including white supremacists, conspiracy theorists, the Christian right, and cult followers and offers students a discussion of how this group is a symptom of a much larger social issue and movement in the United States. McNamara examines the appeal of Trump as a president and explains why so many people voted for him in the first place. The text reviews the most recent and relevant literature on Trump supporters and their makeup including historical documents, government reports, research studies, and media sources, to unpack and understand the issues in an objective and empirical way. Students will understand the source and substance of the controversies surrounding Trump and his followers and understand how fear and complacency causes people to suspend rational thinking and to develop misguided loyalties.
Robert Hartmann McNamara is currently a professor of criminal justice at the Citadel. He is the author of more than thirty books, including: The Criminalization of Immigration: Truth, Lies, Tragedy and Consequences, Social Problems: Finding Solutions, Taking Action; Multiculturalism, Crime, and Criminal Justice.
