The opioid epidemic is not only a public‑health crisis, but a continuing influence and contention point of North American politics. I sat down with Professor @caroartc.bsky.social to discuss the fallout of the opioid epidemic, and the consequences on American politics! youtu.be/7KqN5XVbkiw?...

Have yet to listen to this, but am very excited! @caroartc.bsky.social is great and @jerusalem.bsky.social is doing a fantastic job interviewing all the right people (especially me 😜) to understand the rise of the populist right! youtu.be/gROQEScoyNY?...

Incredible social science & data use here. The immediate story is about how the opioid epidemic (pushed by pharma in high cancer areas), resulted in major opioid death & economic hardship which - through various media/political channels - resulted in a sustained rise in support for the Republicans

This is a very cool paper with a clever identification strategy to test the causal impact of the opioid epidemic on various political outcomes. A key point that’s not in the abstract —causal mechanism is voters agreed with GOP tough on crime rhetoric and policy.

Entirely consistent with what we have experienced, but it still confounds me that people needing and receiving MORE public support increased their votes for Republicans. The people/party that, for the last 45 years++, has wanted to take that support away

The president of Harvard could literally belittle and harass women pursuing degrees in economics, and most economists will still argue that gender bias doesn't explain why there are so few women pursuing degrees in economics!

Benjamin Wallace-Wells writes about the fentanyl crisis and the Democrats’ failure to respond to it. The Party was “a little too ready to dismiss the hubbub over opioids as partisan hysteria, and a little too slow to notice that people were actually troubled.”

Did the Opioid Epidemic Fuel Donald Trump’s Return to the White House?
New research suggests that the Democrats’ struggles in communities battling fentanyl addiction had little to do with economic theory or messaging—it was, more simply, a failure of political attention.

Worth reading. No idea how much weight to give the thesis that Dems lost these regions because Republicans gave the fentanyl crisis much more political and media attention, along with purported trade and border-focused solutions.
