Chuck Darwin<p>The Republican turn against democracy begins with racism </p><p>Support for authoritarian ideas in America is closely tied to the country’s long-running racial conflicts.</p><p>A September 2020 paper by Vanderbilt professor Larry Bartels, shows a statistical analysis of a survey of Republican voters -- analyzing the link between respondents’ score on a measure of “<a href="https://c.im/tags/ethnic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ethnic</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/antagonism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>antagonism</span></a>” <br>and their support for four anti-democratic statements <br>(e.g., “the traditional American way of life is disappearing so fast that we may have to use force to save it”).</p><p>Their data show a clear finding: <br>💥The higher a voter scores on the ethnic antagonism scale, <br>the more likely they are to support anti-democratic ideas. </p><p>This held true even when Bartels used regression analyses to compare racial attitudes to other predictors, like support for Trump. </p><p>“The strongest predictor by far of these antidemocratic attitudes is ethnic antagonism,” he writes.</p><p>For students of American history, this shouldn’t be a surprise.</p><p>The 1964 Civil Rights Act and 1965 Voting Rights Act cemented Democrats as the party of racial equality, <br>causing racially resentful Democrats in the South and elsewhere to defect to the Republican Party. </p><p>⚠️This sorting process, which took place over the next few decades, is the key reason America is so polarized.</p><p>It also explains why Republicans are increasingly willing to endorse anti-democratic political tactics and ideas. </p><p>In the past, restrictions on the franchise served to protect white political power in a changing country</p><p>🔥Today, as demographic change threatens to further undermine the central place of white Americans, many are becoming comfortable with an updated version of the Jim Crow South’s <a href="https://c.im/tags/authoritarian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>authoritarian</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/tradition" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>tradition</span></a>.</p>
