About this product
Product Information
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.

Reviews
"In this exquisitely detailed book, Mike Gonzalez illuminates how the prevailing categories of "identity" did not innocently emerge, but were rather invented. And they were invented, not to assist the American project of gentle assimilation, but for the purpose of dividing up citizens into groups that could then be used as political pawns in a plot to change America. No longer Americans-in-the-making, now citizens came to be "innocent victims" in need of governmental carve-outs, and brokers who would do their bidding. How can the juggernaut of identity politics be stopped? The final chapter offers a "how to" guide no less detailed than the rest of the book. Because Mike Gonzales knows the political machinations that have brought America to brink, he knows, in the most precise terms, how those machinations can be brought to an end. Everyone interested in the malignancies of American politics during the last half-century must read this book." --Joshua Mitchell, author of American Awakening "Identity politics is at risk of tearing apart a nation which aspires to be "indivisible, with liberty and justice for all." Mike Gonzalez explains in The Plot to Change America , how identity politics starting in the 1970s has tried to tear the nation apart--and how, sometimes, it has boomeranged on its practitioners." --Michael Barone, Senior political analyst, The Washington Examine , Longtime co-author, The Almanac of American Politics "Persuasive and clarifying, this book is a must read for anyone who wishes to understand how we arrived at the sordid identity politics of today and what must be done to tear it down. Gonzalez reminds Americans of all races and ethnicities that we are better off choosing individual agency, pride, and success over a culture of victimhood." -Ying Ma, author of Chinese Girl in the Ghetto ., "Michael Gonzalez shows us that the idea of 'identity' did not just innocently emerge. It was invented for the purpose of dividing citizens into groups to be used as political pawns in a plot to change America. Identity politics turns citizens into 'innocent victims' in need of governmental carve-outs, and promotes brokers who do their bidding. Gonzalez lays out just how this madness can be brought to an end. A very timely book. Highly recommended." -- Joshua Mitchell, author of American Awakening "Penetrating and insightful....Mr. Gonzalez's illuminating research is particularly relevant now." -- Roger Clegg, National Review Online "Gonzalez goes beyond standard critiques, performing much-needed spadework to trace the left's steady infiltration of universities, government agencies, courts, foundations, and school boards since the 1960s. His perspective as an assimilated Cuban-American lends authenticity and urgency to the book." -- Eric Kaufmann, Law & Liberty "Gonzalez's book should be widely read for its valuable insights." -- George R. La Noue, The Federalist "Identity politics is at risk of tearing apart a nation which aspires to be 'indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.' Mike Gonzalez explains in The Plot to Change America how identity politics starting in the 1970s has tried to tear the nation apart--and how, sometimes, it has boomeranged on its practitioners." -- Michael Barone, Senior political analyst, The Washington Examiner , Longtime co-author, The Almanac of American Politics "Persuasive and clarifying, this book is a must read for anyone who wishes to understand how we arrived at the sordid identity politics of today and what must be done to tear it down. Gonzalez reminds Americans of all races and ethnicities that we are better off choosing individual agency, pride, and success over a culture of victimhood." -- Ying Ma, author of Chinese Girl in the Ghetto "Mike Gonzalez is a tremendous voice for conservatism. In his new book, The Plot to Change America , Mike irrefutably wrecks the identity politics arguments of the political Left, which have been tearing the country apart for years." -- Ben Shapiro, host of "The Ben Shapiro Show" and #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Right Side of History "A forceful call to stop the cancerous spread of identity politics and begin to undo the terrible damage it has done to our country." -- David Azerrad, Hillsdale College
