cultural example of narrative takeover is the Black Lives Matter movement. This is a life-affirming accountability movement to call attention to the violence being perpetrated against Black people. But rather than listening, learning, and believing the stories of injustice, systemic racism, and pain, groups of white people centered themselves with all lives matter and blue lives matter. There was never a narrative of white lives and police lives dont matter in this movement. This was an attempt to, once again, decenter Black lives and take over the narrative.
