If we instead focused on the less involved majority, we would realize that people are less polarized than we think.
Liberal democracies need a world safe for democracy.
Yet, the expansion of the liberal world order has changed it from a club with solid commitments to a public utility in which countries can break the rules.
In a time when the US global leadership is vaning, this book is pivotal.
Do populist politicians have a specific type of personality? Yes, they do. And it is dark.
@alessandronai.bsky.social & @ Maier show that populist leaders tend to score high on narcissism, psychopathy, and Machiavellianism and rely on character attacks to attract dark voters.
Right-wing parties are rising across Western democracies. Is it due to a voter shift? Maybe not.
@valentimvicente.bsky.social insightful book reveals how social norms drive demand (voters) and supply (skilled leaders), reshaping the political landscape in today's Western democracies.
If it were up to me, everyone would read all new books on the crisis of Western democracies.
