Sergi Pardos-Prado @sergipardos.bsky.social · 30/11/2024difficult to say: vote transfers depend on other things + imitating PP not a clear winning strategy for vox as PP already exists. What seems clearer is main distinction between pp and vox voters is sympathy towards authoritarian regimes, more than other ideological traits that look quite similar. 010
Sergi Pardos-Prado @sergipardos.bsky.social · 28/11/2024We think this all has theoretical implications for the so-called "reputational shield" thesis, and for the increasingly ambiguous distinction between radicalism and extremism or properly anti-democratic beliefs. Thanks for reading and more stuff in the paper here! osf.io/preprints/os...osf.ioOSF 260
Sergi Pardos-Prado @sergipardos.bsky.social · 28/11/2024Finally, the substantially higher endorsement of Franco's legacy among VOX voters compared to other voters is similar among the young and the old. This means that the effect of authoritarian legacies is not driven by older nostalgic voters, but is transmitted and normalized intergenerationally. 171
Sergi Pardos-Prado @sergipardos.bsky.social · 28/11/2024When comparing results with voters of other parties on the right, support/sympathy towards Franco's legacy emerged as the main difference between VOX and other mainstream right voters, who were less distinguishable in terms of aversion to charities representing secessionism, immigration & feminism. 130
Sergi Pardos-Prado @sergipardos.bsky.social · 28/11/2024It turns out radical right voters in Spain (VOX - measured pre-treatment) are more likely to support and willing to donate money to the Franco Foundation than to our control prime. They are particularly triggered by anti-secession and anti-feminist views, and a bit less so by anti-immigrant views. 130
Sergi Pardos-Prado @sergipardos.bsky.social · 28/11/2024We primed folks on the use of public funds to support associations and charities. We randomly varied the type of association: Francisco Franco foundation (yes, it exists!) was the main treatment, together with others representing Catalan independence, feminism, immigrant rights, and trade unions. 140
