Different groups have different expectations about how society should work. Those expectations clash. When groups talk past each other instead of to each other, the divide widens.

The article reports that Donald Trump’s 2024 election win was associated with increased social acceptability of prejudice and corresponding rises in personal prejudice toward groups targeted during his campaign. It describes a replication study showing how harsh political rhetoric can shift social norms and individual biases, even across political affiliations. The findings connect public discourse, social norms, and personal attitudes in the context of a major political event.

This topic is of interest to psychology readers because it illustrates how social norms and political communication can shape prejudice and attitudes, highlighting the dynamic between public rhetoric and individual beliefs.

The Day Respect Became Optional

Given that it is so much easier to just *not* be a jerk, why is that so hard for so many people?

Hey, so, I know this might be a weird thing to ask for and certainly a "git gud" on my part to some extent, but if you ask a rhetorical question or just would like to vent, it would be nice to note this somewhere. Otherwise please be aware that not everyone might be able to "read" your intentions and that a person "lecturing you with unsolicited advice" is trying to help you in good faith because they thought you actually asked a question.

I am autistic. In my specific case (we're not a monolith) this means social behaviours are a thing I learn, not some vague self-explaining instinct I have out of nowhere. "Someone asking a question in my general direction means they want an answer from me and it is rude to not give one" is one of the first things I learned.
However, "Someone asking a question in my general direction means they don't want any reaction at all aside maybe from 'that sucks' or a nod and if you reply you give unsolicited advice which is super rude" seems to be out there as well and just as common (and it feels like it's getting more common than the first one in recent years).

I have no way to tell which one you mean. I learned when it's a stranger it's helpful to ask "do you want advice or just vent" and this might work, but apparently even among friends it seems to be common and I can't tell how tired I am for being considered rude either for not answering an actual question or for answering a rhethorical one. (Not to mention extreme cases where people assume I'd be some person who would want to pick a fight, and "is looking for excuses" when I simply try to explain my reasoning like I do now.)

Any sort of pointer would be appreciated.
