Although politics at the elite level has been polarized for some
time, a scholarly controversy has raged over whether ordinary
Americans are polarized. This book argues that they are and that
the reason is growing polarization of worldviews what guides
people's view of right and wrong and good and evil. These
differences in worldview are rooted in what Marc J. Hetherington
and Jonathan D. Weiler describe as authoritarianism. They show that
differences of opinion concerning the most provocative issues on
the contemporary issue agenda about race, gay marriage, illegal
immigration, and the use of force to resolve security problems
reflect differences in individuals levels of authoritarianism. This
makes authoritarianism an especially compelling explanation of
contemporary American politics. Events and strategic political
decisions have conspired to make all these considerations more
salient. The authors demonstrate that the left and the right have
coalesced around these opposing worldviews, which has provided
politics with more incandescent hues than before.
