🚨New pre-print🚨 "Do citizens’ views of democracy and its actors vary with how they feel?”, @lilymasonphd.bsky.social and I ask in a new paper. Why would they? While citizens widely endorse democracy in principle, temporary factors often shape their views. Also, work on “irrelevant events" 1/8🧵

Respect isn’t just a norm—it’s a dividing line in how people interpret politics. Turkenburg et al. show support for respectful talk varies by education, cynicism, populism & polarization—and shapes reactions to disrespectful politicians. Read now in POQ: doi.org/10.1093/poq/...

Do citizens vary in their support for respect-based norms in political communication (e.g., civility, accessibility)? And if so, does this variation influence how violations of these norms shape democratic outcomes? We address these questions in our new study, accepted in @poqjournal.bsky.social ⬇️
