Leftist and rightists both updated their beliefs on political and non-political issues in the face of counter-evidence to the same degree.
Individual differences in threat sensitivity also did not play a role.

Liberals and conservative use similar moral words, but they attach different meanings to those words
Maybe seems obvious, but suggests that moral politics is a competition over *meaning* and not promoting specific values
It also has implications for how we think about and use (or don't use) dictionary methods for understanding morality in text and speech.

Is affective polarization party specific, or do people make distinctions between political camps in multi-party systems?
New work shows camps matter: "affect is most polarized between Left and Right camps, and between the Radical Right and other camps"

Americans estimate, often inaccurately, that society has made linear progress on social issues
This belief is correlated with the belief that people are getting more politically liberal and that government regulation is increasing over time

A new paper suggests that the reason poverty is related to support for authoritarianism is because of feelings of shame/exclusion experienced when in poverty
Although shame does seem to be a robust predictor, as far as I can tell, they never find that poverty is associated with authoritarianism in their own data?
