Understanding Political Mandates

This chapter examines the often-misunderstood concept of political mandates in the context of contemporary politics, particularly through the lens of Trump's governance. It discusses the nuanced dynamics of voter identity, the implications of policy decisions, and the challenges of maintaining personal integrity within shifting political landscapes. By critiquing the oversimplification of voters into homogeneous groups, the chapter emphasizes the need for a deeper understanding of voter motivations and the complexities of political loyalty.
