Why This Matters
Presidential Crisis Leadership:
Presidents either unite or divide America during tragedies—your vote directly determines whether the country heals or fractures after violence strikes your community
Federal-State Cooperation:
When governors need federal disaster aid, military support, or emergency resources, partisan politics can block the help your state desperately needs
Rhetoric as Policy:
Presidential words escalate or calm tensions in your neighborhood—inflammatory language from the White House increases violence against your local officials
Democratic Norms:
Unwritten rules keep democracy functioning—when presidents break those norms, your ability to hold government accountable vanishes
