In “Up from Conservatism: Why the Right is Wrong for America”, by Michael Lind, the author lays out the Big Lies which have been the basis of right wing ideology:

Supply Side Economics – reducing taxes on the highest income levels – will benefit everyone.  Real purpose: help the wealthiest Americans.

America’s schools are failing.  Real purpose: to defund public education.

Unmarried pregnancies are highest among blacks.  Real purpose: to defund welfare.

The author covers other issues, such as racism.

Fortunately for our country, these lies have failed, sanity has been restored, and the GOP is becoming a party of Southern white males.
