Goldwater was America's dream candidate circa 1964. He offered a chance to escape from a capitalist system that most Americans of the time blamed for the Depression. After the Depression, Americans felt that the federal government had an obligation to protect them from what Franklin Roosevelt described as “evildoers of great wealth,” and they wanted the government to regulate and control those financial interests. Goldwater noted that conservatives "believed that the Communist projection of man as a producing and consuming animal to be used and discarded was antithetical to all Christian conceptions which are the foundation on which the Republic rests. Ronald Reagan often emphasized Christian values as necessary ingredients in the fight against communism Belief in the superiority of Western Christian traditions led conservatives to downplay Third World aspirations and to denigrate the value of foreign aid In subsequent decades conservative policies once considered outside the liberal mainstream as the abolition of welfare and the privatization of social security, banking deregulation and the adoption of preventive war were taken seriously and sometimes passed into law. conservatives finally found a new champion in Ronald Reagan, whose 8 years as governor of California had just finished in 1976, and supported his campaign for the Republican nomination. Toward the end of the decade, a full-blown tax revolt had begun, led by the overwhelming passage in 1978 of Proposition 13 in California, which dramatically cut property taxes. , and by growing congressional support for the Kemp-Roth tax bill, which proposed cutting federal income taxes by 30%. Supply-side economics developed during the 1970s in full paper... But the strong showing in 1994 of conservative Republicans under the leadership of Newt Gingrich reflected the change that had occurred in American politics. The failure of the Equal Rights Amendment, the defeat of welfare rights while Democrat Clinton was in the White House, the gradual erosion of Affirmative Action, and, in general, the growing conservatism of the United States Supreme Court have demonstrated that the regulatory framework for the formation of the public system, politics had moved further to the right during the 1980s and 1990s. In my honest opinion, even though this article was the smallest to read, it was the hardest for me to summarize. I had to look into and research what most of the terms and titles meant because I never paid attention to anything that had to do with politics. It was a learning experience. Thank you for this opportunity.
