What's missing for election denialism this cycle? Widespread shared grievance. Participatory dynamics that can galvanize large groups of "rigged election" believers. Organizational infrastructure for mobilizing people into protests. Elite support (beyond Trump and a few hardcore MAGAs).

An elimination diet, only it's my media diet, and what I'm eliminating is "ironic" Trumpian participatory make-believe.

Participatory budget ballot measure appears to be failing:
Portland ‘participatory budget’ ballot measure failing in early returns
The measure had support from some City Council members.

If a majority of City Council were to support a participatory budgeting measure, is there an barrier to them instituting it without enshrining it in charter?

A reason the right keeps doing these participatory memes is that people write articles making a big deal about them doing it. It's fascist culture, which in the 21st century is participatory culture, and that vey much includes audience participation.
More than just a trojan horse, these memes effectively serve as an in-group critique targeting institutional and mainstream conservatives. It’s not simply about airing frustration, but capitalizing on frustration *with* Trump to shame people into more radical beliefs. www.axios.com/2026/11/02/a...

I adore the concept of being a Participatory Walt. A rare level of humility in wanting to look more involved than you were but without claiming that you got the Victoria Cross at Anzio six years before you were born.
I need you people to understand what a total douchebag this guy is.

Fantastic to see the thousands of people marching to the Dáil to call for a moratorium on new data centres and to highlight issues of noise pollution, energy & water use, and pressure on our grid
Nationwide, community voices are demanding a more sustainable & participatory approach to planning

i mean, he wants to be senate majority leader. i get the strong sense everything else is negotiable - except anything that might threaten that might threaten that power, which very much does include a more active and participatory democracy.

i think long term we want and need it but just as you cannot build a democratic tradition overnight, you cannot build a high participatory democracy overnight
our cultural attitudes and systems need to change in a lot of ways

And these are kind of the same thing: Getting a community to disempower itself by engaging in the propagandization of its own feelings of being threatened and demoralization is a kind of participatory amygdala hijacking that validates a group as feeling like they are on the losing side of fascism.

Portland DSA appears to have held all of its seats on city council. All incumbents will almost certainly return to office.
Democratic gubernatorial incumbent Tina Kotek is substantially ahead of Republican Christine Drazan.
