    Chapter One: Postwar Resentment and the Invention of Middle America 10

    MIAMI UNIVERSITY The Graduate School Certificate for Approving the Dissertation We hereby approve the Dissertation of Jeffrey Christopher Bickerstaff Doctor of Philosophy ________________________________________ Timothy Melley, Director ________________________________________ C. Barry Chabot, Reader ________________________________________ Whitney Womack Smith, Reader ________________________________________ Marguerite S. Shaffer, Graduate School Representative ABSTRACT TALES FROM THE SILENT MAJORITY: CONSERVATIVE POPULISM AND THE INVENTION OF MIDDLE AMERICA by Jeffrey Christopher Bickerstaff In this dissertation I show how the conservative movement lured the white working class out of the Democratic New Deal Coalition and into the Republican Majority. I argue that this political transformation was accomplished in part by what I call the "invention" of Middle America. Using such cultural representations as mainstream print media, literature, and film, conservatives successfully exploited what came to be known as the Social Issue and constructed "Liberalism" as effeminate, impractical, and elitist. Chapter One charts the rise of conservative populism and Middle America against the backdrop of 1960s social upheaval. I stress the importance of backlash and resentment to Richard Nixon's ascendancy to the Presidency, describe strategies employed by the conservative movement to win majority status for the GOP, and explore the conflict between this goal and the will to ideological purity. In Chapter Two I read Rabbit Redux as John Updike's attempt to model the racial education of a conservative Middle American, Harry "Rabbit" Angstrom, in "teach-in" scenes that reflect the conflict between the social conservative and Eastern Liberal within the author's psyche. I conclude that this conflict undermines the project and, despite laudable intentions, Updike perpetuates caricatures of the Left and hastens Middle America's rejection of Liberalism.

    Ronald Reagan at the National Press Club, June 16, 1966

    Ronald Reagan at the National Press Club, June 16, 1966 Ronald Reagan. International News Photos. National Press Club Archives In the week following his first triumph in a campaign for public office—a stunning two-to-one victory in the Republican primary for governor of California— Ronald Reagan (1911-2004) traveled east to confer with the national party chairman, California’s Republican representatives in Congress, and leading industrialists. Not only had Reagan become the favorite in his bid to unseat two- term Democratic Governor Edmund G. “Pat” Brown, politicians and pundits now considered him a major national figure and future contender for the presidency. Feared as an extremist by some, Reagan visited former President Dwight D. Eisenhower at his farm in Gettysburg and gained his support. One day later, Reagan appeared before a capacity crowd at the National Press Club in Washington, where he delivered, in the opinion of a Los Angeles Times reporter, a “witty, deft, engaging performance in his debut in one of the capital’s chief forums.” This period of Reagan’s political ascendancy coincided with the beginning stages of a seismic shift in American politics: the decline of modern liberalism and entrance of the conservative right into the political mainstream. Two years earlier, President Lyndon B. Johnson had trounced conservative Senator Barry Goldwater after a raucous Republican convention split the party into warring factions. Democrats secured resounding majorities in both the House and 1 Senate. With a clear mandate, Johnson began his new term with the announcement, “We’re on our way to the Great Society,” invoking the near- utopian vision for the U.S.

    As Soon As Daniel Brewster Defeated George Wallace in the Mary- Land Presidential Primary, Attention on Capitol Hill Shifted Back to the Civil Rights Bill

    CHAPTER 12 “AN IDEA WHOSE TIME HAS COME” As soon as Daniel Brewster defeated George Wallace in the Mary- land presidential primary, attention on Capitol Hill shifted back to the civil rights bill. The negotiations over the final form of the bill continued between Senator Humphrey and Senator Dirksen. Meanwhile, the filibus- ter continued to drag along on the Senate floor. The southern Democrats were becoming fearful that Senator Dirksen really was going to support cloture and enable the Senate to produce a strong civil rights bill. As a result, the southern senators began filibustering late into the evening. The senators from Dixie also became more vehement in their condemnation of the Civil Rights Movement in general and the civil rights bill in particular. Early one evening in late spring, I was exercising my “privilege” to be on the Senate floor and was casually observing the action there. I decided to take a short break from the endless southern speech making and stepped out on the front portico of the Senate wing of the Capitol to get some fresh air. The weather was warm. It was quite pleasant to be outdoors. Standing amidst the marble pillars, I suddenly heard music playing. I glanced over at the center section of the Capitol building. There, on the front steps of the Capitol, with the Capitol dome rising behind them, sat a crowd of people listening to an outdoor band concert. The band was playing on the sidewalk just below the marble steps on 166 ON THE FORWARD EDGE TWO which the people were seated.
