Description

In Representing Red and Blue, Barker and Carman observe that culturally traditionalist Republicans tend to demand -- and get -- less policy responsiveness from their elected representatives than do culturally progressive Democrats. Cultural traditionalists prefer "leaders who lead," while cultural progressives prefer "public servants who listen," creating a dynamic that engenders political inequality.
