CHAPTER

Cynicism and Civic Disengagement

This chapter examines the growing cynicism towards institutions and its two primary responses: anger and apathy, particularly in light of the January 6th insurrection. It draws parallels between this event and prior incidents like Charlottesville, exploring how public narratives have shifted and the implications of increased distrust in democratic structures. Through a critical lens, the conversation sheds light on the cultural and political divisions arising from skepticism toward established institutions and the need for civic engagement.
