Description

A leading political analyst navigates an unfamiliar terrain of what it means to be a conservative in the Trump Era in Still Right.

Since 2016, “conservative” has come to mean “supportive of the policies of the Trump Administration": building his "wall," enacting ruinous tariffs and limiting trade, alienating our allies and kowtowing to dictators, spending wildly, and generally doing the very opposite of what conservatism actually calls for. As a result, millions of Americans are struggling to reconcile their lifelong political identities with what their traditional political party now stands for.

Rick Tyler, MSNBC's leading conservative analyst, shows they are still the ones in the right by making the case for real conservatism, one grounded in principles of liberty, the history of freedom, and simple reason. He explains why it's necessary to have a global view of the economy—and how that includes immigration. He demonstrates the need for protecting our nation with a strong military as well as protecting the planet itself. He discusses what conservatism really asks when it comes to children, healthcare, taxes and elections.

In the end he reclaims conservatism for conservatives—and proves that it's the best way forward for America.

This was everything I needed. As a moderate Republican, I find myself often being too liberal for the right and too conservative for the left. I do certainly lie more within the Republican party and my goal to move back to those principles within the party with keeping an eye on tradition. Rick Tyler really hit the nail on the head in this book and I probably highlighted far too many things and went "highlighter happy". Rick Tyler reminds us of what the Republican Party really is and what it was before the past couple of years. If you're a die-hard Trump supporter, than this isn't the book for you but if you're open to hearing polite criticism of what the party has become, then this book is for you. Also, if you tend to lean right but have qualms with the current administration or feel as though the party has kind of left you, this book is 100% for you. It is a very common sense approach to republican policy and I feel like these are the words many of us have searched to find.

Absolutely stunning. As a young liberal, I found this book challenging and enticing in all the right ways. Tyler clearly articulated his viewpoints and used history and science to back himself up. Although I disagreed when it came to climate change and gun control, Tyler offered a compelling, clear understanding of conservative and what it should look like in our society. Through his work, I’m eager to learn more about the economics of a free market and what policies have a greater effect on our society.

Excellent book. Especially considering I do not agree with most of Rick Tyler's philosophy. He was able to show he can compromise. Everything is not my way or no way. Recommended highly.

Political genres aren’t typically my cup of tea. For some reason, I felt drawn to read Still Right by Tick Tyler. And I will admit that I was quite surprised at all I learned in this book!!

Mr Tyler covers various political topics and weighs in on the various points of view as well as how the topic has changed through the years. It’s like a political history book while encouraging what he views as the conservative idea.


Whether it’s free trade, taxation, environmental, healthcare, family dynamics, electoral college or whatever the issue at hand, there’s a history to research about how the topic came about and what pushed it to become a popular topic.

Even though this isn’t a genre I typically read, I found this book very educational! Views on issues I didn’t know much about were explained very well. Okay, I didn’t really know much about any of these topics, at least not the the extent described by Mr Tyler.

An ebook version of Still Right by Rick Tyler was provided complimentary by NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. This book was published on August 18, 2020 with St Martin’s Press and Thomas Dunn Books. I give this book five out of five tiaras because of all the political topics I learned about while the approach was respectful of opposing views. Delicately written!
