What happens when you remind Republicans that, if they give Trump more power, Democrats will one day engage in payback? ~GOP support for giving Trump more power goes ⬇️, BUT ~Democrats become more OK with it 🤯 Lesson for understanding democratic backsliding: time matters.⏰

New paper w/ @yamilrvelez.bsky.social! A lot of great research on political microtargeting discounts personalization: tailored ads (using AI or not) rarely beat a single-best message. We define two types of microtargeting, clarify when tailoring matters, & showcase a novel audio-based design.

I am extremely honored, and equally perplexed, that my book has received the Stein Rokkan Prize. Thank you so much to everyone who helped out with this project along the way. So much of the book is the result of feedback by kind people who took the time to listen and read. Thank you.

After years of doubt, drafts, and disbelief, my first—and likely last—book is finally out. It’s about how entertainment shapes American politics. If you preorder (a.co/d/ctGUWkZ), I’d love to send a small token of thanks: forms.gle/1YrkYX2t2nPC...

In @apsrjournal.bsky.social, a series of survey experiments by Eric Groenendyk, Yanna Krupnikov, John Barry Ryan, and Elizabeth C. Connors suggests that those averse to conflict are less likely to respond to surveys labeled as “political.”

How do parents and non-parents decide how children ought to be raised? In a new paper w/Allison Anoll & Mackenzie Israel-Trummel, we argue social movements–like Black Lives Matter–can shape these choices, unpacking the often black-boxed step in child socialization. www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

I am thrilled to announce that I will be joining the faculty at Stony Brook University this fall!  I’ve spent 15 wonderful years at the University of Memphis, and I’ll certainly miss all my friends, colleagues, and the city of Memphis.  My family and I look forward to this next stage in our life.

The American National Elections Studies (ANES), now 75, has interviewed the US electorate before and after every presidential election since 1948. We asked PI Nicholas Valentino what we’ve learned from it, and where we’d be without it: cpsblog.isr.umich.edu?p=3213 @umisrcps polisky polisci
Nicholas Valentino: "One of the early discoveries of the founders of the ANES was that psychological attachments to parties themselves are group identities.

Party identification is the core predisposition shaping political beliefs and behaviors. In other words, it may be that votes are driven most strongly by those partisan identities rather than a citizen’s individual preferences on a bundle of policies. 

That discovery can have a very scary set of implications."
