.@NourKteily and I have just posted a major update to our working paper on the alt-right. The paper now includes a nationally representative sample, which allows us to estimate the alt-right's prevalence & demographics as well as their psychology.

A few additional thoughts ...
We posted the original version of this paper in August 2017. We relied on mTurk recruitment in that original paper and received some incisive criticism from @ScottClif on that point
This led us to go the extra mile to improve our sampling in the revised paper. We contracted with the National Opinion Research Center to obtain a nationally representative probability sample to validate our results. Some of them hold up but not all do
We also preregistered our analysis plan for this second sample. It took some time, but Nour and I are a lot more confident in the results of this second paper. I think this is a nice example of preprints & scientific communication fulfilling their intended purpose
Here's the link to the updated preprint: psyarxiv.com/c9uvw
