Wenns nicht so traurig wäre, wäre es lustig. Beim #Klima hat das China-Argument die Seiten gewechselt. Früher: Was sollen wir uns anstrengen, wenn die Chinesen alles verderben. Heute: Wir schaffen es zwar nicht, aber die Chinesen bauen die Regenerativen aus wie Hölle. (Übrigens, beides falsch)

I'm delighted to see this article out in @govandopp.bsky.social! Jonas Wenker and I show that losing an election has a far stronger negative effect on populist voters than on non-populist ones. For populists, losing signals that the system is broken. 1/5 www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

Are policy and process preferences structured by the same ideological dimensions? In a new paper now out in journals.sagepub.com/toc/iptb/21/2 I argue that policy preferences are associated with support for different logics of collective decision-making. More empirical research in the making!

People often overestimate how many others share their views—a phenomenon known as the false consensus effect.

Anti-pluralism is a term that repeatedly appears in the discussion about early warning signs of dem. backsliding. However, AP often remains un(der)theorized. In this paper I try to clarify what anti-pluralism is & why it is a useful marker for would-be autocratizers👇

Do citizens in the East and West of Germany still think differently about democracy? A new paper by Lea Stallbaum uses ESS 10 data to show that cohorts socialized in the GDR still hold more socialist and populist conceptions of democracy while the young converge.
