Grassroots Movements and Political Shifts
This chapter examines the influence of grassroots movements, especially the Black Lives Matter protests, on the political dynamics within the Democratic Party and the broader electoral landscape. It highlights the tension between traditional political narratives and the call for a more progressive approach, significantly shaped by activism during the pandemic. The discussion also raises concerns about how current political responses may evolve, particularly in relation to voter suppression and the implications of the GOP's direction amid ongoing societal upheaval.
