The most common means to stir political action.
Grievance-based politics revolves around mobilizing resentment or perceived injustices to gain political support. Instead of focusing on problem-solving or collective progress, it often amplifies negative emotions like fear, anger, or frustration. This approach can be seen across the political spectrum, where leaders or movements channel grievances against elites, minorities, or opposing ideologies2.
While grievances can highlight real issues, relying solely on them risks deepening divisions and undermining political unity. It shifts the focus from constructive dialogue to emotional appeals, which can make it harder to address societal challenges effectively
A new breed of extremist has sparked the deadliest wave of U.S. political violence in decades. These self-made radicals, mixing right-wing conspiracy theories and marginal beliefs, forgo logic and coherence in favor of personal grievances.[1]
- 2025 Edelman Trust Barometer show that a sense Grievance is rising as Trust is falling, primarily in the developed world.
