دانلود کتاب لفاظی مذهبی در سیاست جناح راست ایالات متحده

When I started my Ph.D. in October 2016, Donald Trump was still the Republican candidate who had been polarizing the United States, and most of the world’s public opinion, since summer 2015. In little more than a month, under the bewildered look of half of the nation’s population, he had become the president-elect of the United States. I have always been fascinated by how Christian faith and conservative politics intersect in the social panorama of the United States, and I had set out to pursue my research in a structured, in-depth way thanks to the opportunity offered by the doctoral position. What I had not foreseen, when I first set foot in the Graduate School of North American Studies of the Freie Universität of Berlin, was that I was in for a ride that would have challenged many of the preconceived notions I had on that subject. At first, I had thought of limiting my research to the discourse of Donald Trump, investigated through an attentive listening of his speeches, and that of preeminent pro-life and pro-traditional family interest groups, if I had been brave enough to meet some of the people working for them. Then my colleagues suggested that I interviewed the people whose opinions mattered the most: ordinary voters who supported the former president and did so without being conditioned by the decades-long relationship tying the Religious Right to the Republican Party.
