In Good Reasonable People, published before the election, I argued that in a country diversifying this fast, Republicans will have to choose between maintaining power or maintaining democracy. This is what their choice looks like.

1/8. This week I had a few different conversations with scholars who, in the face of the attacks on science and institutions of learning in the U.S., are wondering what to do. One suggestion I have is: keep doing your work. It matters in and of itself. Why do I say that? A few reasons.

I had to zoom through this fast because the library only gave me 7 days so thank you @keithpayne.bsky.social for writing a book I needed AND a book I could easily understand while including and summarizing tons of scientific studies and information. Now I need the physical book for the citation list

A core memory from grad school: @keithpayne.bsky.social quietly drawing attention to the relative effect size of implicit and explicit measures of racial prejudice with 2008 voting behaviour

What all the postmortems of the election overlook is that republicans regularly get 60% of white votes and whites are 70% of the electorate. So they start with 42% off the bat. They only need to get 8.1% from all other groups to win a majority vote share.

New paper in JPSP with @elianeroy.bsky.social ! Here, we ask: Is measuring attitudes more like playing darts or more like searching for a prize in a ”claw” machine? More details in the thread below....
