DC event on 'measuring the time tax'/administrative burdens on May 7. Looks interesting if you're around!

🧵 What causes #ChristianNationalism to increase? Demographic threat. Authors find telling White Christians about threats to Christian numerical dominance evoked disgust which then led to increases in Christian nationalism & belief that Christians are discriminated against. 1/4

I literally wrote the article “diversity is a dangerous setup” about how it’s a milquetoast substitute for actual liberation and I’m here to tell you that this is reactionary bullshit from a dude who has been credibly accused of sexual assault

Strong work Jon Stewart 🥴

And find that our generic scale correlates highly with the tolerance for burdens in a variety of domains. Conservative beliefs are positively related to burden tolerance (though to different degrees) regardless of domain 4/4

We demonstrate how to adapt the scale to specific policy areas 3/4

We examine correlates of the scale: Tolerance is higher among males, young adults, less well educated, those with good health, those who trust state actors more, and ideological conservatives. 2/4

New open access article forthcoming in PAR w Aske Halling Don Moynihan. We develop a 4-item scale to measure burden tolerance – peoples’ acceptance of state actions that impose administrative burdens on citizens – using data from several countries papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf… 1/4

What is evident with both this and Ukraine/natl security is that Johnson does not know what to do, he does not know what he will do, he does not know how to pass these things, and he does not know what will happen. He just isn't very good at this

New, from me:
If you are interested in administrative burdens in public services:
*May 7 event at McCourt School Georgetown University, featuring Annie Lowrey
*new research on measuring how people experience burdens and why they tolerate them

Good time to remind us all that there is a Potemkin University of Austin, which says that it bravely takes on 'Forbidden Courses' while the real university at Austin is censored from discussing aspects of race and must fire employees tasked with building a more inclusive campus

Managing an FSA is simple. Every year you try to predict your health expenses. If you guess wrong the money disappears. If you guess right you have to fight with some weird third party your employer hired to give you the money back. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/inflexible-s…
