Chris Faricy @faricy.bsky.social · 28/07/2026We asked partisans to rate these groups as hardworking or lazy, selfless or selfish. Across nearly all groups and both traits, Democrats rate Democratic-leaning groups as more deserving and Republicans do the same for Republican ingroups. Partisan identity shapes who counts as deserving. 4/ 010
Chris Faricy @faricy.bsky.social · 28/07/2026We find that the public's map of which groups are Democrats or Republicans is largely accurate: minorities, women, and atheists read as Democratic; whites, men, and evangelicals as Republican. Voters find it easier to recall these group ties than the parties' policy positions. 3/ 110
Chris Faricy @faricy.bsky.social · 28/07/2026Who counts as deserving? the deserving work hard, play by the rules, and are needy by circumstance; the undeserving are lazy and cause their own hardship. The criteria are universal — but which groups fit them is determined by partisan identity. 2/ rdcu.be/fvFgtrdcu.bePartisanship and the Social Construction of Deservingness in the United States 110
