The Plot to Change America

How Identity Politics Is Dividing the Land of the Free

By: Mike Gonzalez

Narrated by: Tim Getman

The Plot to Change America exposes the myths that help identity politics perpetuate itself. This book reveals what has really happened, explains why it is urgent to change course, and offers a strategy to do so. Though we should not fool ourselves into thinking that it will be easy to eliminate identity politics, we should not overthink it, either. Identity politics relies on the creation of groups and then on giving people incentives to adhere to them. If we eliminate group making and the enticements, we can get rid of identity politics.

The first myth that this book exposes is that identity politics is a grassroots movement, when from the beginning it has been, and continues to be, an elite project. For too long, we have lived with the fairy tale that America has organically grown into a nation gripped by victimhood and identitarian division; that it is all the result of legitimate demands by minorities for recognition or restitutions for past wrongs. The second myth is that identity politics is a response to the demographic change this country has undergone since immigration laws were radically changed in 1965. Another myth we are told is that to fight these changes is as depraved as it is futile, since by 2040, America will be a minority-majority country, anyway. This book helps to explain that none of these things are necessarily true.

Why United States is where it's at socially and politically.

An eye opener of what's going on socially politically breakdown of it's history and how it became what going on now.

A Polarized America

Gonzalez makes a great case for why America is coming apart, not coming together. The new norm is "victim hood". You can always find a reason why you're being discriminated against. If it's not your race, maybe it's your religion, or gender, or any number of things that set you apart. He shows how identity politics is destroying this country. It is better to find what makes us the same instead of different.

This book gave me a lot to think about that I had never even given it any thought. I'm glad I read it and want now to begin again. This will be one of those books that I want to go through very carefully.
