Democracy and Populism About the metaphor "shake the status quo"

Main Article Content

Dante Avaro

Abstract

The public opinion of pluralistic democracies is manifested against conformity. Public opinion associates that idea with a status quo that avoids changes and perpetuates the absence of response. In summary: the status quo represents negative immobility. The fact that the citizen public understands democracy as a regime of government open to change is antagonistic to the status quo. Therefore, many political analysts and actors see the populist phenomenon as a political force that drives changes to the status quo. Thus, this work analyzes the nature and scope of the metaphor "shake the status quo."
