Gerald Seib, esteemed journalist and author, provides a captivating exploration of the conservative movement's seismic shifts on this Theory to Action podcast.

Seib's book, "We Should Have Seen It Coming: From Reagan to Trump," serves as our guide as we navigate the journey from the Reagan Revolution to the ascendancy of Donald Trump.

This episode paints a vivid picture of the party's evolution into a populist, working-class bastion, chronicled through Seib's insightful lens. We conclude with a call for Seib to document these permanent changes in a sequel, inviting listeners to ponder the future of American conservatism.

Join us as we piece together the puzzle of the GOP's past, present, and potential future.

Key Points from the Episode:

• We unpack how pivotal institutions like the Heritage Foundation and Fox News laid the groundwork for conservatism's dominance and discuss the rising tide of populism that signaled a new era.
• Our conversation spotlights the 2016 Indiana primary as a crucial turning point, where Ted Cruz's strategic maneuvers highlighted the conservative movement's transformation, shedding light on the complexities of the grassroots anger that fueled Trump's rise.
• Reflect on the GOP's remarkable journey over the decades, as we traverse from the conservative roots of Ronald Reagan to the populist makeover under Trump.
• We share a poignant visit to Reagan's alma mater, Eureka College, to underscore the historical realignment that the GOP has undergone, culminating in the 2024 election.
