High and low levels of affective polarization (dislike of out-partisans) is connected to low support for democracy, but moderate amounts of it relate to high levels of democratic support, suggesting a silver lining, finds @lisajanssen.bsky.social & @turkenburgemma.bsky.social osf.io/5nhtg/

🚨 preprint alert 🚨 In this note with @turkenburgemma.bsky.social , we document a non-linear relationship between affective polarization (AP) and democratic support. These results can explain previous mixed findings and emphasize a potential silver lining of AP 👇 osf.io/5nhtg/

Evidence that affective polarization has an inverted U-shaped relationship with support for democracy from @lisajanssen.bsky.social & @turkenburgemma.bsky.social osf.io/5nhtg/ Helps explain lack of relationship between aff pol and antidemocratic attitudes in papers assuming a monotonic relationship
