It is wild, but basically predicted by the #politicalpsychology around Trump. Part of the lure of authoritarianism is getting to release responsibility.

“The author found participants in a study able to come up with more reasons to support their position but not anymore likely to change their minds based on contradictory evidence. In effect, they enlist their IQ on behalf of their instincts.”

ALT TEXT FOR THREAD:

There is not a single person who is organized around politics who is psychologically well right now.

Whether this was consciously designed or simply emerged from the incentives involved, the result is the same: two major political parties and their surrounding media ecosystems keep the general population too frightened and psychologically destabilized to mount an effective response to anything.

It functions as brilliant psychological warfare.

Everyone who thinks they are doing the absolute most to make people aware of the atrocities, from either side, is essentially cognitively curb-stomping the people around them.

They believe they are mobilizing people by keeping the atrocities visible. Meanwhile, they are helping maintain a population too frightened and cognitively overloaded to develop the stability, personal agency, and sustained attention required to build power and do something about it.

Calling everything a 'war' lets us bypass wartime discipline & termination criteria. The 'war on drugs' is a perfect example: increased spending, increased drug use, no end state in sight. It's not a war, just a habit. #ShrinkTheNation #politicalpsychology #drugwar #policy #communication

How common are your opinions? Social media makes us think that everyone shares our opinions. A short survey to put that theory to the test.

It's true that it's not rational, but the key is that it was never as rational as it looked. All this time, ppl's assessments of politicians have been driving their ratings on the economy, rather than the other way around. #politicalpsychology

MAGA IS A MENTAL ILLNESS?

When loyalty overrides evidence, criticism becomes betrayal, and one leader becomes more important than truth, the psychology behind political identity deserves scrutiny. This is about cognitive dissonance, denial, and group loyalty.

Ever wonder why many voters support policies that hurt their financial well-being? It’s one of politics' biggest puzzles. It’s not about logic—it’s about psychology. Let's unpack the voting paradox. 🧵 (1/5) #PoliticalPsychology #VoterBehavior

Not only did these actions establish dangerous precedents and let guilty people go free, they also lost Dems the Social Dominance Orientation voters who decided subsequent elections. #politicalpsychology

Political judgment rarely begins with complete information. Representation, fairness, moral authority and political memory shape how voters read competence, inconsistency and character.
