The Loud Minority upends this view by demonstrating that voters are in fact directly informed and influenced by protest activism. Consequently, as protests grow in America, every facet of the electoral process is touched by this loud minority, benefitting the political party perceived to be the most supportive of the protestors' messaging.Relying on historical evidence, statistical data, and detailed interviews that consider protest activity since the 1960s, Daniel Gillion shows that electoral districts with protest activity are more likely to see increased voter turnout at the polls. Surprisingly, protest activities are also moneymaking endeavors for electoral politics, as voters donate more to political candidates who share the ideological leanings of activists. Finally, protests are a signal of political problems, encouraging experienced political challengers to run for office and hurting incumbents' chances of winning reelection. The silent majority may not speak with protest actions themselves, but clearly gesture for social change with their vote.An exploration of how protests affect voter behavior and warn of future electoral changes, The Loud Minority looks at the many ways that activism can shape democracy Geschichte gnd Protestbewegung (DE-588)4226404-2 gnd USA (DE-588)4078704-7 gnd Protest movements / United States United States / Politics and government Democracy / United States BK020000 XK020000 XK020000 Stoppsignal FRED nebis DS IDSBB B400 B400 400H5 BeM RGA 8489 NELB4002007 / B500 IDSBB 100 1- Gillion Daniel Q. 1979- (DE-588)1035817241 Verfasser aut IDSBB 490 0- Princeton studies in political behavior IDSBB DSV51 DSV01 B400 http://www.ub.unibas.ch/tox/IDSBB/007190994/PDF pdf VIEW Inhaltsverzeichnis SWISSBIB 589210351
