In the wake of the 2016 election, many people were left wondering how such a diverse group of voters could have coalesced around a single candidate. After all, Donald Trump's supporters included everyone from white nationalists to Bernie Sanders voters.

The answer, as it turns out, lies in the rise of a new kind of activism. This activism is not defined by traditional left-right or liberal-conservative divides. Instead, it is characterized by a shared desire to challenge the status quo and to fight for change.

One of the most visible examples of this new kind of activism is the so-called "alt-right." The alt-right is a loose collection of white nationalists, anti-Semites, and misogynists who have become increasingly vocal in recent years. However, the alt-right is just one part of a larger movement that includes a wide range of activists, from geeks to gamers to Tea Partiers.

This larger movement is united by a common enemy: the establishment. The establishment refers to the powerful elites who control our political and economic system. These elites are seen as corrupt, self-serving, and out of touch with the needs of ordinary people.

The activists who are fighting against the establishment come from all walks of life. They are geeks, progressives, Tea Partiers, gamers, anarchists, and suits. They may not agree on everything, but they are all united by a shared desire to make the world a better place.

One of the most important things to understand about this new kind of activism is that it is not driven by ideology. Instead, it is driven by a desire for change. The activists who are involved in this movement are not interested in simply preserving the status quo. They want to create a better future for themselves and their children.

This new kind of activism is still in its early stages, but it is already having a significant impact on the political landscape. In the 2016 election, Trump was able to tap into the anger and frustration of many of these activists. He promised to shake up the establishment and to fight for the forgotten men and women of America.

Whether or not Trump will be able to deliver on his promises remains to be seen. However, the fact that he was able to win the election is a sign that the old Free Download is crumbling. A new era of activism has begun, and it is one that is likely to shape the future of politics for years to come.
