Antipolitics is the intermediate period from 2010 protests to 2016 populist victories.

Evidence

Between postpolitics and hyperpolitics lies the antipolitical decade, an intermediate phase heralded by the success of Hessel’s pamphlet and the protests that rippled across the globe from 2010 onwards. The progressive-neoliberal consensus of the long 1990s released its hegemonic grip; leftand right-wing movements destabilized the established party systems, a process that eventually culminated in the populist victories of 2016 and beyond. — Anton Jäger, Hyperpolitics, 171
