Steyn offers a sharp critique of the left-wing elite, which he argues has become increasingly out of touch with the concerns of ordinary Americans. He points to the fact that the elite is increasingly concentrated in a few coastal cities, and that they have little understanding of the challenges facing people in the rest of the country. Steyn also argues that the left-wing elite is increasingly intolerant of dissent, and that they are using their power to silence opposing viewpoints.

Steyn also argues that tribalism, the tendency to identify with a particular group or tribe, is on the rise in the United States. He points to the fact that people are increasingly self-segregating into like-minded communities, and that this is leading to a breakdown in social cohesion. Steyn argues that tribalism is making it difficult for Americans to come together and solve common problems.

Finally, Steyn argues that globalization, the increasing interconnectedness of the world, is having a negative impact on the United States. He points to the fact that globalization has led to a loss of jobs in the United States, and that it has also led to a decline in living standards. Steyn argues that globalization is benefiting the elite at the expense of ordinary Americans.

Steyn's book is a timely and important contribution to the debate about the future of America. He offers a sharp critique of the left-wing elite, tribalism, and globalization, and he argues that these forces are destroying the idea of America. Steyn's book is a must-read for anyone who is concerned about the future of the country.
