You never actually bothered to figure out what authoritarian means in the study.

It defines authoritarians, but then it only related the issues of immigration and the travel ban to Trump supporters, and calls them authoritarians for that. It even explains how those two questions alone were added to the study and how that was the basis for his conclusion.

I say again: fake study.

I say again: fake study.

Authoritarianism has been successfully measured in different ways. Political scientists prefer to ask about what is more important for children – respect for elders more important than independence; obedience more important than self-reliance; to be well-behaved more important than being creative; and to have good manners more important than to be curious (Feldman, in press; Feldman & Stenner, 1997).

Social psychologists prefer such items as: “The authorities should be obeyed because they are in the best position to know what is good for our country”; and “Obedience and respect for authority are the most important virtues children should learn.” These methodological approaches are highly interrelated and both have proven useful. And note that they overlap in their attention to basic values.


In agreement, Choma and Hanoch (2017), analyzing data from a Mechanical Turk sample of 406 American adults, found that both authoritarianism (r = +.46) and SDO (r = +.48) correlated highly (p < .001) with the intention to vote for Trump. Similarly, Van Assche and Pettigrew (2016) gathered another Mechanical Turk sample of 139 White American adults and found authoritarianism (r = +.47) and SDO (r = +.32) correlated highly (p < .001) with planning to vote for Trump. This consistency across these various studies is noteworthy because they employed different measures of the key predictor variables. The first two of the studies cited above employed Feldman’s political science measure of authoritarianism, while the other two studies used standard social psychological items.

I like how you're accusing me of not reading the study when you can't even be bothered to read the posts in this very topic. I was specifically refuting the part of the study YOU quoted, which you aren't even bothering to defend here, apparently. I take it you agree the MacWIlliams part is bullshit then?

And I'm not impressed by a bunch of other half-baked sociology studies either. The writer of this study makes several false claims with a leftist slant, like that Nixon employed a southern strategy despite voting for all three Civil Rights Acts and how he desegregated 70% of the nations schools while LBJ oversaw only 10% of them being desegregated. It equates the Tea Party, a movement strictly about electing Constitutionalist politicians, to a bunch of European parties frequently described as Neo Nazi. Further it claims Ronald Reagan was being a racist for speaking about the importance of states rights "near where civil rights leaders were lynched", the implication being that these two things were related and that he supported the murders.

This is obviously heavily biased. This wasn't written to be an honest take on the attitudes of Trump's fanclub, it was written so that regressives on Facebook and Leddit could have an academic-looking study to refute people online who make the observation that the left is getting way more authoritarian as of late with their attempts to shut down speakers and assault people on the street for wearing MAGA hats. I've seen better arguments from Alex Jones, ffs.

Also, you're blatantly incorrect about the MacWilliams citation:
Political pollsters have missed this key component of Trump’s support because they simply don’t include questions about authoritarianism in their polls. In addition to the typical battery of demographic, horse race, thermometer-scale and policy questions, my poll asked a set of four simple survey questions that political scientists have employed since 1992 to measure inclination toward authoritarianism. These questions pertain to child-rearing: whether it is more important for the voter to have a child who is respectful or independent; obedient or self-reliant; well-behaved or considerate; and well-mannered or curious. Respondents who pick the first option in each of these questions are strongly authoritarian.

I followed the links and didn't see anything about immigration. The way they said they constructed authoritarian is:

my poll asked a set of four simple survey questions that political scientists have employed since 1992 to measure inclination toward authoritarianism. These questions pertain to child-rearing: whether it is more important for the voter to have a child who is respectful or independent; obedient or self-reliant; well-behaved or considerate; and well-mannered or curious.

you're not even honestly representing the part that you're erroneously referencing as being part of the construction of the authoritarian measurement

A majority of Republican authoritarians in my poll also strongly supported Trump’s proposals to deport 11 million illegal immigrants, prohibit Muslims from entering the United States, shutter mosques and establish a nationwide database that track Muslims.

is absolutely not the same thing as "stricter rules for muslims and enforce immigration laws as theyre written"

Deporting people who immigrate illegally is the law as it is written. Executive orders written by former presidents are not laws.

And I question anyone who thinks wanting a registry for people who believe in Islam (which I don't support) is authoritarian but wanting a registry of everyone who owns a firearm (which I also don't support) is not authoritarian, despite being one of Hillary's talking points that she made much more frequently than Trump suggesting he would register all muslims.

And remember: this study is claiming that no other candidate correlates with authoritarian support based on that criteria. Another lie made by this writer, it seems.

in a very narrowly construed way, maybe. the actual law gives illegal immigrants a hearing in court and a chance to apply for relief from deportation. so jumping to the end conclusion without that caveat is probably playing your hand a bit far.

Authoritarianism is

Aaaand already this departs from any actual criticism of Trump.

Generally speaking, leaders who support gun rights, deregulate the private industry, want lower taxes, and don't pass authoritarian policies are not considered authoritarian.

Fake study.

This was never a criticism of Trump, and the context here is authoritarianism as a psychological syndrome, not with regards to policy. Yet again you've shown that you simply aren't equipped for scientific discourse.

MacWilliams uses supporting Immigration law and a travel ban and "muslim registry" as the definitive authoritarian positions of Trump supporters despite not being especially authoritarian laws, relatively speaking. The only conclusion that can be drawn here is that the basis they use to define authoritarianism is flawed.

MacWilliams uses supporting Immigration law and a travel ban and "muslim registry" as the definitive authoritarian positions of Trump supporters despite not being especially authoritarian laws, relatively speaking. The only conclusion that can be drawn here is that the basis they use to define authoritarianism is flawed.

Now explain to me why the lies I pointed out in post 58 are not lies. I can't wait.


How are the following questions related to immigration law and travel ban and the muslim registry:
These questions pertain to child-rearing: whether it is more important for the voter to have a child who is respectful or independent; obedient or self-reliant; well-behaved or considerate; and well-mannered or curious. Respondents who pick the first option in each of these questions are strongly authoritarian.


This is how they defined authoritarianism in that article, to be clear: the MacWilliams article that you're claiming to have defined it based on immigration laws, based on the these four questions.

This is not that complicated, are you trying to be purposefully dense? they said that the majority of Republicans who supported these things were authoritarians based on the survey questions.

It also doesn't specifically talk about just those two narrow things, which I already pointed out to you and which you deflected with a "but Hilary" which doesnt even make sense since they specifically talk about how Hilary's support in 2008 was from authoritarians.

If anything your framing just makes their case for them, since Trump got more authoritarian support even though the authoritarian Hildawg was also running.

I mean, does that help at all? Let's say they're all authoritarians. Most presidents are. That doesn't make them equally authoritarian. Even if they don't have a track record of being authoritarian, they can talk like they are -- and if they do have the track record, they can pretend they aren't. This is about how voters perceive people, not necessarily how they personally or politically behave.

This is how they defined authoritarianism in that article,

Which is evidently a bad definition, given how he cites the muslim ban and deporting illegals as per the law as authoritarian stances.

Now address the lies I point out in post 58, please.

what does what Nixon did in the senate have to do with pursuing the southern strategy as president? why are you ok with labeling parties that say they aren't nationalist as neo nazis but then only taking the tea party at their word that they aren't some nativist group? idgi

He probably is. At least he made it clear beyond doubt he doesn't understand half the shit he supposedly read and that he's not capable of discussing the content itself in any capacity.

in what world did something being "the law" make it not authoritarian? do you realize it was the law to capture runaway slaves and send them back to their home states evne if you lived in a state where black people were free? is that not authoritarian because it was the law?
