Trump Voter Psychology: A Cult-Like Following
The World We Inherit
11/09/20 • 16 min
What was supposed to be a sweeping referendum on Donald Trump, turned out to be a marginal victory for Democrats. So, if you're counting, that's the second time Democrats and their polls underestimated the power of Trumpism. It seems to be that they are in denial about the significant reason why Trump's supporters remain unwaveringly loyal: authoritarianism. In this episode, we dive into the psychology behind what Trump activated in his base and what it means to our ability to reunite our country.
Psychology To Win A Political Argument?
The World We Inherit
11/01/20 • 17 min
Most of us are guilty of chalking up the position of the opposing political party to sheer stupidity. Yet, as confounding as it is, they do have a method to their madness. Social psychologists have pinpointed why some people don't see the world as we do. And, from that, they developed a persuasive tool called moral reframing, that allows you to effectively communicate your position to people with opposing political views. On this episode, we will be joined by Jan Voelkel, a PhD candidate at the Department of Sociology at Stanford, who has authored multiple papers on political ideology, to discuss moral reframing.
