@RyanLEllis No. The end of the republic will only come if we demonize our fellow Americans on the other side of the aisle and scare people into thinking elections are existential threats.

@jayvanbavel Add this one to the list! I have had a lot of positive, albeit anecdotal, responses on reducing polarized attitudes. The approach is to help people see their own partisan biases and the motivated reasoning they engender.

People shift political expression to fit the social norms in the room

When political talk surfaces in everyday chats, it puts people in a bind. Do they speak their mind, or adjust their political opinion to fit the room they are in?

New research finds that individuals modify their expressed stance to align with the dominant tone of the group.

Participants randomly assigned to liberal- or conservative-leaning chat groups shifted their expressed stance in the direction of the group, demonstrating that social context alone was sufficient to alter political expression.

Political expression are not simply a window into personal belief, but function as a socially calibrated act.

These findings suggest that political talk in everyday settings may distort one's impression of surrounding opinions, not because disagreement is absent, but because it may remain unspoken.

@DawnsMission Sincere question that I am asking in good faith: What list of rights did God give us and where can that list be found?

@Brick_Suit @PatriotEagle26 It is absurd to say it was staged. I agree. But it is also absurd to say the 2020 election was stolen. Ds and Rs are equally conspiratorial, they just believe in different conspiracies.

@mattvanswol Could you be more specific? What outlet and what lie so we can assess it?
