Mr. Beat explains why so many Americans seemingly have become radicalized during the 2020s. He uses a white board, which is kind of neat, in my personal opinion. This breakdown is for anyone interested in understanding how past and current economic shifts, such as periods of stagflation and the COVID-19 pandemic, influence current voter behavior. By visualizing historical data on the whiteboard, Mr. Beat looks at how voters are becoming increasingly radicalized before the upcoming 2026 midterm elections.Edited by Matt Beat.
