to understanding major political transformations. He argues that political regimes can persist despite being unpopular, which is why a government overthrow, when it does come, can often seem so sudden., who protested being mistreated by government officials by setting himself on fire. His death triggered a series of events, and a month later, the long-unpopular authoritarian Tunisian president fled the country after more than 23 years in power.
Kuran argues in his book that protests need a critical mass of supporters in order to force change. The logic is that there’s safety in numbers, so if multiple citizens rise up in protest of a regime, it signals that it’s OK to protest — which can cause decades-old regimes to collapse all at once.
Who goes first matters, too, because if we’re talking about a monumental sea change, it isn’t moderate Republicans like Sen. Susan Collins of Maine or Sen. Mitt Romney of Utah who will lead the GOPRather, it’s rank-and-file Republican senators up for reelection in solidly red states, like Bill Cassidy from Louisiana or Jim Inhofe from Oklahoma, whom you should watch. If they waver, that will signal that Trump’s days are numbered.

FiveThirtyEight America is a bypatisan country, the actions taken are based on the instruction of the party, not on each person's right or wrong objective judgements.
FiveThirtyEight Well Putin is having a Ball.
DrJJoyner FiveThirtyEight 'After all, political science has shown us that big political changes often come suddenly, after long periods of stasis. Looking back, it seems like of course the Democrat-Republican statist power structure was bound to collapse.' FTFY
FiveThirtyEight Republicans better ask their constituents before they act!
FiveThirtyEight When I read 'inviting foreign governments to interfere in our elections', I know the poster hasn't researched the full story, read the transcript or knows the legal authority granted to the President. The poster is a 'headline moron' ricocheting like a media ping pong ball.
New_Narrative FiveThirtyEight It will happen. Its already happening. GOPVotingBlue ImpeachTrump
FiveThirtyEight He probably has 'dirt' on every one of them.
FiveThirtyEight Republicans are the party of white supremacy
FiveThirtyEight Republicans need to grow some balls and take off their blinders. They stand up against him and impeach him. Stop protecting him. He's a piece of garbage. He's trying to discredit the Democrats but there's evidence now that he is a criminal
FiveThirtyEight Why would they ever do such a thing? It would be the fall of a great Democracy. A great Nation! I believe this is what r fore fathers planned. A branch can become to powerful but then the other branch can save America, two branches congress & senate to watch over each other
FiveThirtyEight It really just goes to show how corrupt the GOP is, that they are willing to let a corrup POTUS go to any lengths to win. Inviting foreign countries to interfere in our democracy is not alright and that makes them all just as corrupt.
FiveThirtyEight Republicans are the literal death to America. They are so corrupt and racists not even the Democrats from 30+ years ago comes close to their catastrophic behavior defending this president. It's all about money. It's a sick cult.
FiveThirtyEight It won’t happen they still believe in the rule of law unlike the dems.

FiveThirtyEight Oh course they won’t everyone of these are scare slimy dogs. Only 2 of them tops have balls. Also 89% of them are racist. Any minority that vote for them are stupid. Republicans hate blacks and Hispanics it’s a fact. But the few 5% blacks that vote for them are Uncle Toms
FiveThirtyEight They know if trump goes down he’s taking all with him!!! So they’re playing their hand close to the chest. No peeping 🧐

FiveThirtyEight Only the naive, haven’t turned on the fraud dems yet
FiveThirtyEight incredible amazing movement

FiveThirtyEight

FiveThirtyEight They won’t bcuz it’s abt personal gain. Trump can continue lying, stealing, extorting, breaking laws and spitting on the Constitution & they will continue looking the other way. SenateGOP more intelligent than trump but they fear his Twitter account.
FiveThirtyEight Pantywaist is defined as a feeble or effeminate person. . senatemajldr MoscowMitch
FiveThirtyEight What might happen if the Republicans do turn on Trump, leaving room for a more moderate candidate who could bring in millions of undecideds and Republican who disdain the current leaning of the party. Could a shit to middle ground change the game?
FiveThirtyEight Fake News!!! Report the REAL Stuff!!! Trump2020LandslideVictory God Bless America 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
FiveThirtyEight It is amazing and sad that any true American still hangs onto this evil corrupt incompetent traitor still. He is nothing but Putin’s secret weapon to destroy America.
FiveThirtyEight We know this is true because fake news is reporting it.
FiveThirtyEight Good morning..just a reminder to all the haters.. President Trump, is still your President and will be for another 5 years. Have a fantastic weekend.

FiveThirtyEight Republicans rather chose power than country. This is what appears.
FiveThirtyEight Brilliant 🤔
FiveThirtyEight I like DonaldTrump all the better for asking Ukraine to investigate the seemingly suspicious transactions involving JoeBiden. Biden isn't above the law and doesn't get a pass just because he's a politician.
FiveThirtyEight im🍑ment is coming
FiveThirtyEight Washington DC has turned their back on this country. Trump is just the current person to do so. This has been going on since 2000
FiveThirtyEight Never going to happen. It’s quite the opposite,Democrats are jumping ship
