Forgotten Promises: How Republicans Failed White Americans

The Republican Party has long sold itself as the guardian of tradition, faith, and working-class strength. But behind the flag-waving and fiery rhetoric lies a cold truth: White America—the very base the GOP claims to defend—has been abandoned. Forgotten Promises: How Republicans Failed White Americans rips through the myths and exposes how the party of "family values" and "economic freedom" traded away its voters for corporate profits, endless wars, and empty culture wars. While elites grew richer, rural towns withered, industries collapsed, and families were left to battle addiction, poverty, and despair. This is not the story Republicans want told. It is the story of broken factories, shuttered main streets, gutted wages, and a generation raised on promises of prosperity that never came. It's about how a party that preached patriotism and faith delivered only precarity and fear—while keeping its base loyal through division and resentment. Bold, unsparing, and unapologetically honest, Forgotten Promises challenges readers to confront how deeply the GOP betrayed the people it vowed to protect—and why so many still cling to the illusion that salvation lies in the next election cycle.
