In Good Reasonable People, published before the election, I argued that in a country diversifying this fast, Republicans will have to choose between maintaining power or maintaining democracy. This is what their choice looks like.

@jayvanbavel As others note, the r’s are small but I’d also point out they are corrected for measurement error which makes no sense. We get actual scores which have error. Still seems basically useless for making a decision about an individual.

Great dive into Good Reasonable People in the New Yorker today!
There’s no avoiding the fact that many ordinary people hold political opinions that you find not just disagreeable but disturbing. Where do those opinions come from? According to a new book, America’s political derangement has psychological roots.

This just seems silly. I imagine people who ice skate more are more likely to die from ice skating injuries but that doesn’t mean ice skating is dangerous. (From NY Times)
