This, in a nutshell, is why DeSantis hyped a video valorizing masculinity and treating LGBTQ people as aberrant.

DeSantis targets a significant primary demographic: Insecure men

The DeSantis campaign's use of an anti-LGBTQ ad is partly about getting attention and partly about appealing to a particular insecurity.

@pbump

It should be a huge warning ⚠️ sign that even among the “overall” group, more people believe that Christians face “great deal of discrimination,” than that women do. That is insane and obviously wrong.

@chargrille @pbump What they're talking about is not discrimination - it's loss of the privileged status Chtistianity has had in the past. So, for instance, a measure to acknowledge Ramadan as an important time for Muslims might be called "discrimination" because it's felt as a threat.

@pbump this shows the ingrainment of victimization in the modern GOP voter.

@pbump To Trump voters, "a great deal of discrimination" against Christians and whites means "We don't always get to call the shots any more."

@pbump The overlap between Trump voters and evangelical Christians is very high. Many in both groups likely label disagreement and political opposition as discrimination.I.e., they think they're victims of discrimination because most Americans do not wish to play by their rules.

@pbump This seems to fall in line with Trump's white, evangelical base. The thing that is most striking to me is the misplaced sense of grievance - that some force somewhere is doing something bad to white evangelical males. It really seems antithetical to the personal-responsibility, pull- yourself-up-by-bootstraps flavor of classical conservativism. It all seems like rage-baiting.

BTW, I like the graphs. Very easy to read. Colors are fine, easy on the eyes with clear separation, IMO.
