What We Know About the Women Who Vote for Republicans and the Men Who Do Not

[Demovictory9]

(long complicated academic article)... some highlights


The Deckman-Cassese study is part of a large body of work that seeks to answer a basic question: Who are the men who align with the Democratic Party and who are the women who identify as Republicans?

-------

A 2011 paper by I-Ching Lee of the National Taiwan University and Felicia Pratto and Blair T. Johnson of the University of Connecticut — “Intergroup Consensus/Disagreement in Support of Group-Based Hierarchy: An Examination of Socio-Structural and Psycho-Cultural Factors” — makes the case that

in societies in which unequal groups are segregated into separate roles or living spaces, they may not compare their situations to those of other groups and may be relatively satisfied. In such cases, we would expect dominants and subordinates to be more similar in their attitude toward group-based hierarchy.

On the other hand, they continued:

in societies in which people purport to value equality, subordinates may come to expect and feel entitled to equality. The evidence and signs they observe of inequality would then mean that reality is falling short of their ideal standards. This condition may lead them to reassert their opposition to group-based hierarchy and to differentiate from dominants.

It may be, then, that the association of the Democratic Party with values linked more closely to women than men is a factor in the party’s loss of support among Hispanic and Black men. As my colleague Charles Blow wrote in “Democrats Continue to Struggle With Men of Color” in September: “For one thing, never underestimate the communion among men, regardless of race. Men have privileges in society, and some are drawn to policies that elevate their privileges.”

3. Can't get the link, but this makes perfect sense and fits with all we know. I have never

been able to figure out why women would vote for republiQans other than that they are financially dependent on men who benefit from the republiQan system. But this puts it in a more logical, and better fitting, framework.

6. Part of the problem in Afghanistan. The male population for the most part supported Taliban misogyny

7. 'Struggle with men of color'.

There is no struggle with men of ‘no color’, as white men are a lost cause.

8. not all of us are lost

[Voltaire2]

10. As a demographic we are the republican base.

Followed closely of course by women ‘of no color’.

The point being that men ‘of color’ vote overwhelmingly Democratic.

9. I must admit I never thought of the effect of sexism on men of color and politics

But it's a no-brainer. Sorry to see such an indictment of so many men on our side.

11. I saw this clearly in 2016. I saw this on another level with Sanders going against HRC

It really showed itself living in a high populated Hispanic community.
