Revenge of America’s Unemployed captures the shifting mood of the unemployed, underemployed and uncounted. More than 30 million Americans lost their jobs, saw their pay slashed or left the workforce during the Great Recession. Many lost their homes, marriages, savings, self-esteem and self-confidence and, finally, their patience with a political elite that could not deliver on their promises of jobs, jobs, jobs. This book chronicles the passions that fueled the greatest upset in modern presidential history. Having listened to their stories and read their Facebook posts, tracked their angst and anger in surveys and exit polls, Rick Sloan knew how politically volatile these men and women were. They had swung from hope to hopelessness for too long. Far too many were prepared to turn their backs on a political party they felt had abandoned them. To those callously excluded from the Democrat’s ‘rising American electorate’ strategy, 2016 was payback time. Revenge of America’s Unemployed is a must read for those who want to understand why lost. It also offers strategic insights to those determined to defeat in 2020.
