It’s one of grievance. More and more Americans are convinced that they’re losing because somebody else is winning. More and more tally their slights, measure their misfortune, and assign particular people responsibility for it. The blame game has become the country’s most popular sport and victimhood its most fashionable garb.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGrievance needn’t be bad. It has done enormous good. The United States is a nation born of grievance, and across the nearly two hundred and fifty years of our existence as a country, grievance has been the engine of morally urgent change. But what happens when all sorts of grievances—the greater ones, the lesser ones, the authentic, the invented—are jumbled together? When people take their grievances to lengths that they didn’t before?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA violent mob storms the US Capitol, rejecting the results of a presidential election. Conspiracy theories flourish. Fox News knowingly peddles lies in the service of profit. College students chase away speakers, and college administrators dismiss instructors for dissenting from progressive orthodoxy. Benign words are branded hurtful; benign gestures are deemed hostile. And there’s a potentially devastating erosion of the civility, common ground, and compromise necessary for our democracy to survive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHow did we get here? What does it say about us, and where does it leave us? \u003ci\u003eThe Age of Grievance\u003c\/i\u003e examines these critical questions and charts a path forward.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Arotahi Agency","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46849986986220,"sku":"9781668016442","price":41.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/24382433482781.jpg?v=1759072148"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/collections\/frank-bruni.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
