political narratives
Partisan framing stories
Political narratives are the stories groups tell to explain events, assign blame or credit, and justify positions.
They frame facts within a larger arc—heroes and villains, crises and resolutions, progress or decline.
The opposition's narrative blamed inflation on reckless spending.
Political narratives compete for public acceptance, shaping how people interpret the same events differently.
They are tools of persuasion as much as explanation.
