Political Gesture

A political gesture is a deliberate action or display made to communicate a message related to political beliefs, values, or issues. It can be anything from a symbolic act, such as raising a fist for solidarity, to a public protest or a statement made through words or symbols. These gestures aim to influence public opinion, draw attention to causes, or show support or opposition to policies. They are often purposeful, reflecting the individual’s or group’s stance on social or political matters, and serve as non-verbal ways to convey meaning in the political landscape.
