520 1 $a"In 2004, George Lakoff's bestselling Don't Think of an Elephant! delivered a path-breaking account of the conservative monopoly on the effective framing of political issues, touching off a national discussion about the role of values and language in politics. Lakoff's work on progressive values and ideas gave rise to a chorus of pleas for more: What is the progressive vision of America? Why are progressive values America's values? How are frames necessary to serve the truth? What is the "Center," and how can progressives address it? How do progressives trap themselves, and how can they escape those traps? How can political arguments and narratives be put together to counter the right?" "Thinking Points answers these questions with a bold and systematic explanation of how conservatives think and use language-and how progressives can fight back with their own values and communicate their vision of a better America. Lakoff and the Rockridge Institute not only offer a deep understanding of the progressive worldview but also reveal the nature of the so-called political center. They show why the most effective way to appeal to those who identify themselves as moderates is to remain true to core progressive values. Book jacket."--BOOK JACKET.
