The Political Machine 2020 won't start

I played TPM 2020 quite a bit during the beginning of quarantine. I haven't played in 2 months, but have struggled to launch the game. When I open it up, it's pitch black and 30 seconds later it shows the Now Loading sign in the bottom right corner. It seems the game slows down and takes minutes to get to the home screen where it freezes. I have a Macbook so I tried to switch to a different screen and it wouldn't let me. It froze on there. I have to restart my computer in order to get out of that screen. How can I fix this?
