Das ist ein sehr guter Thread, der mit vielen Fehlwahrnehmungen aufräumt. Zwei Dinge sind darüber hinaus, denke ich, wichtig. 1) Veränderungen über die Zeit. Auch wenn junge männliche Wähler im Schnitt seltener AfD wählen als mittelalte Männer, konnte die AfD 2025 vor allem in ersterer zulegen. 🧵

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

I missed this, from a year ago, but the extreme-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) uses not just clear Nazi aesthetics in its propaganda but also a clear Nazi salute. By the way, these are the German friends of Trump and the GOP.

New article! Climate action versus environmental protection? How far-right and environmentalist messengers shape public attitudes towards renewable energy infrastructure in forests, by @manesweisskircher.bsky.social and Matthias Diermeier. doi.org/10.1080/0964...
ABSTRACT
This article examines how political messengers, and not the message, influence attitudes toward renewable energy infrastructure amid an increasingly polarized climate change debate. Focusing on wind power, a highly politicized issue, and solar energy, less contentious, we conducted an experimental survey in Germany. We assess how either a far-right or an environmentalist critic affect acceptance of renewables. Importantly, our analysis examines support for renewables in forest areas, focusing on a conflict between climate action and local environmental protection. Our findings reveal that the messenger impacts attitudes regarding wind energy. Criticism of wind turbine expansion by an environmentalist actor leads to greater rejection, while a similar critique by a far-right actor results in increased acceptance, i.e. a backlash effect. No such influence was found for solar energy. We explain these diverging findings by differences in politicization. Our findings have important consequences for understanding key dynamics of the public debate and political conflict over climate action.
