Jonathan's new book Bellwether Blues: A Conservative
Awakening of the Millennial Soul is a must
read. Americans live in an era of increasing political turmoil
where tensions are heightened and conflict is the new normal.
Having grown up in this environment, millennials know nothing
different. Their experiences have driven them toward
disillusionment and frustration with the political norm. In sum,
they have caught a case of the Bellwether Blues. The resulting
skepticism has brought out the worst in those who engage in
political dialogue, only adding fuel to the fire.
In an era where the political world is ablaze with hatred,
Bellwether Blues offers a highly effective antidote. Rather than
allowing the ends to justify the means, Jonathan Jakubowski
encourages conservatives to rethink their approach to reaching the
millennial generation. Fight or flight might be the natural
response to conflict, but there is a third option for conservatives
if they choose: Make friends. This counterintuitive approach is
gleaned through the stories of seven millennials in Wood County,
Ohio who changed their voting preferences from liberal to
conservative.
