This is fascinating and I’m so glad to learn of this paper. Some of my other research on repression looks at what actual/threatened violence does to political identities, at the level of superordinate ‘opposition’ identity and/or the level of specific group identities. Thanks for posting!

I hope you’re right 🤞

Ugh exactly. I think public opinion matters in non-democracies, and I know it doesn’t determine (all) outcomes.

Congratulations, Laia! Please celebrate it :)
