In 2012, Sara Jarman wrote a thesis predicting the rise of a candidate like Donald Trump. Five years later, her prediction has become reality. Where too many believed the Republican Party was “too big to fail,” Jarman questioned the basic tenets of conservatism and the politics of those who call themselves conservatives.

Now, American conservatives must grapple with the psychological and the practical struggle to redefine themselves. In this articulately written treatise, Sara Jarman tells their tale.
