Abstract
Our project, “Party in the Street: Grassroots Protests during the Biden and Trump Administrations,†explores how political parties and social movements interact with one another in the United States. This project was inspired by socio-political unrest observed during Donald Trump’s presidency (Black Lives Matter, the US Capitol riot, and so forth). Troubled by these conflicts, “Party in the Street†sought to explore successful and unsuccessful party-movement collaboration. This project observes protests from the Biden and Trump administrations, including (but not limited to) Black Lives Matter, the US Capitol riot, the Counter-Inaugural protests, and the Women’s March. “Party in the Street†draws upon surveys conducted at these protests (protestors provided demographic information and their opinions on relevant policies). The survey responses were organized numerically in google sheets and copied into STATA, wherein each response was represented as a line graph (date and time on the x-axis, quantity of response ‘A’ on the y-axis). Conclusions were drawn through line graph comparisons, which implied successful or unsuccessful party-movement collaboration.
