This paper has been a long time coming, but happy to have a revised draft out.

We find that banning political ideologies can open space for new political entrepreneurs who mobilize against that ban.

Read Dan's thread for more details:

Danbischof @danbischof.bsky.social · Jul 10

Can banning political ideologies protect democracy? 🛡️🆚🗣️

Our (w. @valentimvicente.bsky.social) paper finds: punishing individuals might backfire. We study a West German policy banning "extreme left" individuals from working for the state.
