body politic

Plenty will just want to disengage from the body politic, but that’s how Trump and his enablers succeed.

The media injected Donald Trump’s fear and hate into the body politic Sunday in Madison Square Garden.

They say calling Trump what he is — a pendant authoritarian, a convicted criminal, an enabler of the worst and most dangerous elements of our body politic — constitutes a death threat, not a description.

“If we possess anything important in our citizenship, it’s the ability to vote and to participate in the body politic of our localities in our nation,” Lacy said.

The legal and political reactions of the American people or the body politic to Nixon 50 years ago and Trump today are as different as night and day.
