ABSTRACT
This chapter situates the concerns expressed throughout the previous chapters within the context of debates circulating around the 2020 American elections. We use the issues raised about the outcome of the election—with some 74 million voters casting their votes for Trump, and the subsequent January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol Building—as background for a discussion of several basic orientations and practices that will need to inform a robust practice of democratic citizenship moving forward in a post-pandemic, post-Trumpian world.
