Authoritarianism is durable; it resists the influence of other political judgments; and it is very impactful-in a word, it is strong. By contrast, researchers characterize the attitudes most people hold on most issues as unstable and ineffectual-in a word, weak. But what is true of most issues is not true of the issues that have driven America's long running culture war-abortion and gay rights. This Element demonstrates that moral issue attitudes are stronger than authoritarianism. With data from multiple sources over the period 1992-2020, it shows that (1) moral issue attitudes endure longer than authoritarianism; (2) moral issues predict change in authoritarianism; (3) authoritarianism does not systematically predict change in moral issues; and (4) moral issues have always played a much greater role structuring party ties than authoritarianism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paul Goren\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1009529323\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781009529327\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/31\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 75\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Paul Goren","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45898399777023,"sku":"9781009529327","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1d0c0418-c950-41ea-8665-921778ffbddb.jpg?v=1721376221","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/stronger-issues-weaker-predispositions-paul-goren-9781009529327","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
