Explosive Politics presents two campaign strategies—21 action words each—to transform opinion and motivate public action. Both are explosive and transformative: one by destroying and the other by constructing. One razes, the other raises.
Regardless of an individual's position on the political spectrum, Explosive Politics is a reminder that Democracy is dynamic, continually arriving at crossroads. Every election offers multiple directions, some positive; promoting growth, and others negative; leaving scars. Democracy is bigger than any election—though each election provides an opportunity to invest, or withdraw—from our collective future. Ultimately, voters decide which path our country travels.
