We conducted nationwide survey experiments to see if these reputational linkages impact attitudes.
✅ Priming on Putin’s anti-LGBT+ rhetoric reduces his moral authority & boosts LGBT+ support.
✅ Linking Bosnian Serb leader Milorad Dodik to Putin’s messaging weakens Dodik’s appeal.
These results suggest reputational chaining can disrupt anti-LGBT+ narratives.
📌 Norm entrepreneurship in IR – showing how discrediting messengers affects norm adoption.
📌 LGBT+ advocacy – revealing how exposing ties to discredited figures can counter backlash.
