Interesting to notice how much the negative views toward a President have increased since Donald Trump’s first term (with the exception of Nixon). A clear sign of today’s high political #polarization!

In a polarized society with unrealistic expectations about the electoral outcome, these shocks to people's expectations are amplified, making democracy vulnerable at its defining moment: the elections! 3/3

In my paper, I highlight the role played by negative shocks to economic expectations in making extreme supporters more violent and more anti-democratic right after the electoral defeat. mferroni93.github.io/website/JMP_... 2/3

Two years ago, supporters of former president Bolsonaro stormed the buildings that symbolize Brazil's democracy. They opposed @lula.com.br's election victory and called for a military coup. But what makes people turn anti-democratic after losing an election? 1/3

I’ve been analyzing survey responses for years, and I’ve never seen as little polarization in the US as in their shared dislike of the healthcare system. Some issues still manage to unify the American people… Data by @economist.com
