Extremely interesting. I am in Brazil now and have learned that evangelicals here, led by Silas Malafaia (loosely translated from the Latin as "evildoer," my translation), played a huge role in Bolsonaro's rise to power.

Also, Pavlos Vasilopoulos and I found that after a terrorist attack in France: fear-->anger-->authoritarianism-->support for far right. I think it makes a lot of sense, psychologically, that fear could be displaced onto others as anger.

Good question, Gordon. Today's "conservatism" in the US is really right-wing extremism, increasingly resembling fascism. They do not seem interested in "conserving" much of anything, institution-wise.

Thank you, @bettinaachwarzen and @volts.wtf

Color me unsurprised. But thanks for the daily reminder.

You mean political conservatism as motivated social cognition?
