This week we closed out our Missing the Middle roundtable with a final response from Third Way. I'm also happy to report that today a new article went up on our homepage. "Authoritarianism and the American Political Divide," by political scientists Jonathan Weiler and Marc J. Hetherington, shows that the extent to which people hold authoritarian child-rearing attitudes predicts their political preferences. Not only that, but when the perceived threat from some development -- say, terrorism or gay marriage -- the preferences of anti-authoritarians tend to move toward those of authoritarians. Check out this important article, and let us know what you think.
