One Leader Under God: The Connection Between Authoritarianism and Christian Nationalism in America

PRRI is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization dedicated to conducting independent research and driving conversations at the intersection of religion, culture, and politics.



It should be no surprise to anyone that the followers of a man who constantly threatens violence would be more likely to commit violence themselves.

January 6 demonstrated they are willing to go so far as to overthrow our democracy.

The two recent assassins were lone wolves. The Trump cult acts as a mob, and mobs are notoriously easy to incite to violence, as seen on January 6.


Relying on two classic approaches to measure authoritarianism, PRRI finds that most Americans do not hold highly authoritarian views.

  • Revisiting work first developed in The Authoritarian Personality (1950) and later adapted into the Right-Wing Authoritarianism Scale (RWAS), PRRI finds that 43% of Americans score high on the RWAS, compared with 37% who score low; two in ten Americans qualify as having mixed opinions (20%).
  • Around four in ten Americans (41%) score high on an alternative measure of authoritarianism (CRAS) that relies on child-rearing preferences and is less closely associated with conservative political ideology. This is a drop from 57% of Americans who scored high on the CRAS in a previous 2016 PRRI national survey.
Right-wing authoritarian views are more prevalent among Republicans, particularly those who hold favorable views of Trump, white evangelical Protestants, and weekly churchgoers.

  • Two-thirds of Republicans score high on the RWAS (67%), compared with 35% of independents, and 28% of Democrats.
  • Republicans who hold favorable views of Trump are 36 percentage points more likely than those with unfavorable views of Trump to score high on the RWAS (75% vs. 39%).
  • White evangelical Protestants (64%) are the religious group most likely to score high on the RWAS, followed by slim majorities of other Protestants of color (55%), Hispanic Protestants (54%), and white Catholics (54%). A majority of weekly churchgoers (55%) score high on the RWAS, compared with 44% of Americans who attend church a few times a year and 38% of those who never attend church services.

  • Republicans are more likely than independents and Democrats to agree that patriots may have to resort to violence (27%, 15%, and 8%, respectively); Americans need to ensure the rightful leader takes office, even with violence (24%, 15%, and 10%, respectively); and that armed citizens are needed as poll watchers (24%, 10%, and 10%, respectively). Republicans with favorable views of Trump are more likely to agree with all three statements (32%, 27%, and 28%, respectively).
  • Christian nationalism supporters are slightly more likely than Americans who score high on the RWAS or CRAS to agree that true American patriots may have to resort to violence in order to save our country (33%, 28%, and 21%, respectively) or to ensure that the rightful leader takes office (30%, 26%, and 20%, respectively), and that armed citizens are needed as poll watchers (29%, 25%, and 20%, respectively).

Damn those Republicans


 
YAWN

FUCK PRRI

Pelosi took responsibility for 1/6 on video.
She should have allowed the National Guard to keep the peace, as requested by Trump and Capitol Police Chief Sund.
You have been gaslighted, rube.

Trump incited the violence. He is the only one responsible.

The blood of the dead is on his hands. The injuries of the police are on his hand.

He did NOTHING for 187 minutes.

Correction. One hour into the terrorist attack, he sicced the mob on his Vice President.

LIES. Prove what you type.

Trump wanted the National Guard there to keep the peace.
Here is Nancy Pelosi taking responsibility

Nancy Pelosi says ‘I take responsibility’ for not having National Guard at the Capitol on Jan. 6 in video shot by her own daughter​


The officials have also disagreed on when the National Guard was called and on requests for the guard beforehand. Sund said he spoke to both Stenger and Irving about requesting the National Guard in the days before the riot, and that Irving said he was concerned about the “optics” of having them present.

Irving was Pelosi's direct report. He (the Capitol Police Board) denied the request.

Trump incited the terrorist attack. That's the simple fact.

He summoned the terrorists and sicced them on Congress and his Vice President.

Trump had 187 minutes to call the Capitol Police, Department of Justice, the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Defense, the F.B.I., the DC Mayor’s Office for help.

He did NOTHING.

You know what he did instead as the violence raged? He called Rudolph Giuliani and members of his cult in Congress, seeking their assistance in delaying the joint session of Congress.

His staff was begging him to act. His FAMILY was begging him to act. His friends in the MAGA media were begging him to stop the violence. His friends in Congress were begging him to act as they feared for their lives.

They warned him people were going to die and he ignored them. The traitor probably loved the idea of people dying for him.

No matter how hard you try, you cannot diminish the high crimes Trump committed that day.

PRRI is absolutely not “non partisan.”

Any effort to delve into that company quickly reveals how liberal it is.

Their dubious research aside, it is obvious that our libs are far more likely to embrace violence.
