Rather, ideological labels and the motives behind them to some extent acquire different socially-constructed content on the basis of group/party conflicts, elite actions, and historical features unique to specific societies. (2/n)
In this regard, an especially interesting pattern in the above data is that right-wing identifiers in the US are different from their counterparts even in other English-speaking, Anglo-Saxon influenced nations, e.g., NZ, Australia, Canada. (3/n)
This suggests a culturally-specific role for elites linked to the right-wing party in the US and the kinds of group conflicts that have been assimilated to partisanship (and by extension ideology) in the US. (4/n)
