It's official -- I'll be taking my talents to Foggy Bottom this Fall! Excited to announce I've accepted an offer to join the Department of Political Science at the George Washington University as an Assistant Professor of American Politics!

I'll also mention that in our random forest models, the variable that always popped (even accounting for cardinality) was age: young Americans are significantly more antidemocratic. I imagine there's an interesting relationship to explore between age, affpol, and support for democracy.

Age is the most predictive factor in random forest models predicting support for antidemocratic norms.

In our PNAS we don't necessarily find a negative relationship between affpol and antidemocratic norm support, but certainly a non-linear one (appendix fig. below). Personally, I think FT measures have some pretty major empirical oddities we're still evaluating 🔗 www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...
