Powerful Nationalism and the Right-wing Authoritarians

One of the categories for this blog is Powerful Nationalism.

In a recent Pew Research survey of 1,001 adults, some measures of this powerful nationalism were captured. These metrics confirm what has been posted previously in this blog and add to recognition of theRight-wing Authoritarian (RWA) among us.

Here is what the survey confirms about RWAs and their extreme nationalistic pride:

They are Extremely proud
to be an American
white 59%
Older than 29 53 to 60%
Republican 69%

These older, white, Republican RWAs:

  • Are more likely to fly the US flag
  • Believe they are more patriotic than those not like them
  • Are angry [driven by fear] with their federal government
  • Agree with the Tea Party

Being powerfully nationalistic is one of Lawrence Britt’s fourteen common threads that link historical fascist or protofascist regimes “in recognizable patterns of national behavior and abuse of power.”
