Hyperpolitical movements from both flanks flower and wilt without durable policy results
Evidence
On the policy front, however, achievements have been painfully ephemeral. Nor is this judgment limited to the left. On the right too, movements from the Tea Party to Stop the Steal flower and wilt with unnerving rapidity. Rather than concrete results, what all these political objects share is the ability to reproduce frenetic activity, relayed by an increasingly digital public sphere. Hyperpolitics bursts forth periodically only to recede, less a corrective to postpolitics than yet another manifestation. — Anton Jäger, Hyperpolitics, 222
Categorization
- ADDENDUM: This directly evidences the reader’s core interest: why total political saturation produces so little durable change — movements relay frenetic activity but not organized force.
- XREF: Tea Party to Stop the Steal as mass-institutionless surges resonates with the reader’s Putnam-from-the-left framework about hollowed organizations.
