“For the project, researchers recruited more than 600 political scientists around the world to make annual assessments of political parties’ adherence to a number of key small-D democratic values.
Those assessments are combined into the main measure in the chart above, which tracks parties’ overall commitment to democracy. Lührmann points out that the Republican Party score started to edge downward during the Obama administration but fell off a cliff in 2016 with the ascent of Trump.
The Democratic Party, by contrast, hasn’t changed much. This is a prime example of what political scientists call asymmetric polarization — a growing partisan gap driven almost entirely by the actions of the Republican Party.”
Charts proving fascism are helpful.
this is why we need to loudly and consistently deny requests to meet republicans in the ‘middle’: the republicans are the party that’s careening downhill. we want them to come back up, not drag us down with them.
a bad person will always say “lets meet in the middle” and as soon as you take one step towards them, they take one step back and say again “lets meet in the middle”
