Agree, and some of my analyses (not in the paper) are consistent with your point.

Glad to see this out at @ajpseditor.bsky.social! I show that the immigration-crime issue, when salient, can shift leftist cosmopolitans to the Right. This is due to leftist voters being more conservative on crime than leftist parties.

Labels can impact politics. My paper @apsrjournal.bsky.social "What Happens When You Can't Check the Box?" shows when Middle Eastern & North African (MENA) Americans are excluded from identity categories, they assert MENA identity when answering relevant political questions.

Es ist ermüdend. Die immer gleichen abgedroschenen und unfundierten Narrative über die Linke und den Aufstieg der radikalen Rechten.
