So Trump supporters liked his positions on immigration and trade. That's not surprising but why does it make it "status threat" and not something else?

The interpretation by the author is really a veiled way of claiming something that was never tested, knowing full well that readers and commenters (including
@sapinker won't actually read the paper and realize that perceived threat was never measured). -
Author states in the discussion that she does "not provide direct evidence" for her claims since she didn't actually measure what she claims. She infers status threat from a measure of SDO. Of course, if you know the SDO literature, you know SDO is not status threat.

The problem with this study is it doesn't take into account that people scapegoat in reaction to sources of material anxiety. Thus, if you ask the cohort they will point to the scapegoat rather than actual underlying reasons triggering their scapegoating.https://twitter.com/sapinker/status/989617958237466627?s=21 …

Study finds “...issues that threaten white Americans’ sense of dominant group status” was the main motivation for 2016 presidential voters and not economic concerns as previously thought
-
The thing is it really was about status, and yes predominantly it affected the white population who subscribed to the perpetuation of fear, but there were plenty of black and other poc who voted in fear of losing their economic status.

You do realize that this study does not actually have a measure of perceived threat in it, right? The conclusion that status threat explains voting for Trump is very odd given that "status threat" is never measured.

I love that critiques of this study on this thread are countered by actual racists saying “Yes, of course this is true, and let me show you more about how I’m racist.”

"Cultural alienation" isn't exactly the same as "status threat".

Great research, but still missing one thing. Status is driven by our shame affect, yet shame is so invisible in our society that the authors of this paper never use the "shame" word. Unacknowledged shame (according to Thomas Scheff) is the emotional basis of violence.

This is trash. So many factors are ignored and the measurements are highly suspect. That such a study has gone through multiple stages of cherry picking should be obvious...

Is the possibility that the former is a consequence of the later considered?

Threat of loss of social and cultural dominance, economic status, religious freedom, ethnic superiority. "You can make people do anything if they're afraid. And how do you make them afraid? Well, you make them afraid by creating an aura of endless threat." —Fahrenheit 9/11
