Important read by @JRubinBlogger —“The most authoritarian-inclined Americans tend to be over age 45, live in rural areas and don’t have a college degree. This is the profile of the GOP base, not coincidentally.” washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/…
A Morning Consult poll finds that “26% of the U.S. population qualified as highly right-wing authoritarian, Morning Consult research found, twice the share of the No. 2 countries, Canada and Australia.” 
And the core of the authoritarian movement on the American right, (which frankly is tipping into fascist territory per folks as ideologically disparate as @BillKristol & @mehdirhasan) is among conservative white evangelicals, as @PRRIpoll researcher @robertpjones explains:
Which is why the solution is not to pretend to do high minded “bipartisan” legislation with a party in this state of decline. We need to face and fight this rot before it ends the American experiment altogether.
