The graph "Civil Rights are Essential" on the authors' page is absolute horseshit. Support for civil rights is below 30% for Centrists, and the far right showing more support?! Absolute horseshit, either the research is flawed or a lot of people wrongly identified themselves as centrists.
Lol, he literally cuts out 10% of the sample because they didn't self-place themselves. This is retarded, because a voter who doesn't know his alignment can still vote and be a part of the centrist voter bloc.
And look at figure 5. At first it looks like the center most strongly supports authoritarian figures, but after he does his number magic:
In Table 2, I regress all ratings in the
EVS on the left-right placement. Findings suggest that the only group with higher support is the far-right.
I wonder why he doesn't do that with all his graphs. š¤
"...choosing a leader...is an essential something something too lazy to type the whole thing"
leader
There's your issue, in addition to all the others previously mentioned. Bad question.
You see, choosing "a leader" instead of "a party" or "a representative" smells like authocracy and personality cult to me, which is something the far-left and the far-right like the most. The best part is, both of them think their dream genocidal authocrat daddy will be chosen democratically, cause naturally their cause and methods are so obviously the most correct ones!
Like, ask a stalinist or a nazi if they support democratic elections and see the hypocrisy.
You can make a survey that concludes half of americans think the earth is flat. A vast majority of people aren't politically active and don't care about the questions they're answering. Questionnaires never have and never will mean anything
Eh thats a pretty shitty question though because like in NZ the PM doesnt matter nearly as much as the party in power and often they can swap around mid term.
If he'd broken the drug companies or something I'd unironically cheer him on but he keeps breaking important shit like the State Department and the EPA.
The truly EPA has a ludicrous amount of useless and burdensome regulation. Much of their regulation is made without regards to practicality and some of it is made without regards to reality.
Yeah. The only really good thing I think Trump's Administration has done was roll back a lot of some of the really bad Obama Era policies, like some of the Title IX and some of the bad EPA regulations.
Wow that headline and that question are not the same thing at all.
Why do you have to have a "leader" in a true democracy? Isn't centralised power completely antithetical to a "true" democracy? The United States is a Republic, not a democracy. No large country on earth is a true democracy. All this tells me is that centrists are the only ones who know what the fuck a democracy even is.
nigga 50% of that thread is people shitting on reddit and 50% of it is people falling for that one "I used to be a Marxist until I realised rich people weren't bad" bait.
The dumbest commie talking point is that liberals will always side with fascists. "Scratch a liberal and you will see a fascist underneath" or whatever dumb shit they say. They conveniently leave out the time that the liberal west teamed up with the Soviet commies to stomp out the fascists in Germany. Literal retards over there.
I am not denying that. Its called nuance. Both of those things can be true. Making a blanket statement like liberals are fascists in disguise is retarded.
The Wall Street Crash of 1929 heralded worldwide economic disaster. The Nazis and the Communists made great gains at the 1930 Election.[44] Both the Nazis and Communists between them secured almost 40% of Reichstag seats, which required the moderate parties to consider negotiations with anti-democrats.[45] "The Communists", wrote Bullock, "openly announced that they would prefer to see the Nazis in power rather than lift a finger to save the republic".[46]
The Communists meanwhile were engaging in violent clashes with Nazis on the streets, but Moscow had directed the Communist Party to prioritise destruction of the Social Democrats, seeing more danger in them as a rival for the loyalty of the working class.
The Comintern described all moderate left-wing parties as "social fascists", and urged the Communists to devote their energies to the destruction of the moderate left. As a result, the KPD, following orders from Moscow, rejected overtures from the Social Democrats to form a political alliance against the NSDAP.
Especially since it was the commies and far leftists who were voting for Trump to punish the DNC for not anointing St Bernard and throwing out the vot of black democrats.

the fascists were only able to seize power in the first place because the moderate parties in germany chose to work with them over the communists
