In every single interview I’ve done with international media since Trump took power I’ve been asked: Why are there no mass protests?
There are many reasons, of course, but the utter refusal of the self-proclaimed “fourth estate” to communicate clearly what is happening has to be high on the list.

No matter how preposterous, the Times headlines nearly every Trump story as if it were written by the White House comms team.

From my point of view, the motivation to not let far right parties into government is not primarily to prevent them from being in power (vote- and office-seeking). Instead, the goal is to prevent their ideological beliefs turning into political decisions and laws (policy-seeking).

New article accepted at CPS. @denis-cohen.bsky.social @thmskrr.bsky.social and I analyze how rental market risk affects radical right support. Combining data on local rent increases with the SOEP, we find that individuals facing increasing local rents become more likely to support the AfD. 🧵
