"Experts" and the radical left want you to think that on these hot-button issues, Americans are split down the middle--polarized. They want you to think that at least half of your fellow citizens hold views that only yesterday everyone considered crazy. And they want to make you afraid of not being on the "enlightened" side.

But it turns out that this polarization is a myth.

With clarity and optimism, Jonathan Butcher dismantles the myth of a fractured nation, showing how our underlying agreement on character, virtue, and our shared sense of national identity can guide lawmakers and communities toward policies that help everyone have a chance at the good life and the American Dream. 

In a time when headlines scream of division and mutual antagonism, The Polarization Myth offers a refreshing perspective: Americans are more united than you think.Drawing from a survey of over 2,000 citizens along with robust research, Butcher uncovers a surprising consensus on today's most contentious issues--from education and civics to race and gender.
