PEW RESEARCH
— In a Politically Polarized Era, Sharp Divides in Both Partisan Coalitions
Partisanship remains biggest factor in public’s political values Partisanship
continues to be the dividing line in the American public’s political attitudes,
far surpassing differences by age, race and ethnicity, gender, educational
attainment, religious affiliation or other factors. Yet there are substantial
divisions within both parties on fundamental political values, views of current
issues and the severity of the problems facing the nation. (DIERSEN: If you
promote the following, you should be a Democrat, Libertarian, or Green, and if
you discourage the following, you should be a Republican: dependency on
government, dependency on charity, LGBTQ activity, abortion, mass/illegal
immigration, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, abolition of the First and
Second Amendments, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse
discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation.)
