Thanks for reading! I think you're right, the animosity --> protest link is stronger in the US bc of the two party system. But I think partisan threat can make a difference anywhere. If Marine le Pen began talking up coal mining, I think many on the French left would join up w/ the green movement.

Lots of thanks to Social Forces for being great to work with, my dissertation committee for feedback, and Lee Ann Banaszak for an amazing grad seminar. I would not have thought to write about protest without it! Excited to see this in print! 😁

I also apply my trademark contextual polarization data (paper coming soon!) to protest participation. People in high-animosity environments protest quite a bit more than others, and hatred felt from "the other side" seems to be the driving factor. 3/

Using panel data from @pewresearch.org, I identify this pattern in the BLM, Tea Party, and climate action movements.

Participation in an environmental protest, in particular, is explained far more by hostility toward the GOP than concern about climate change. 2/

Liked this by accident no boo go Huskies 😠😄

We thought the same thing and got *shriek* null results 😱😥

No, although that would've been good to run!

If you want to use the data and need those, I'd be happy to jiffy them up!

Down is less polarized, and I was wondering the same myself! 🤔

Yup, my mistake! Here you go...

Hope it went well today. New to this myself and other 3 comments are exactly my experience. Big class of 200 gets restless if I don't have one or two easy discussion prompts per lecture. Otherwise, be organized, and try to be natural... it's exhausting trying to break out of a "persona" after.

Hey uhhh me too? I'm a political scientist 😃

Huh
