That’s particularly true among one subset of the population: Republicans and Republican-leaning independents who hold views centered on concern about the growing non-White minority. Bartels looked at other factors, too, such as how respondents viewed President Trump or how favorably they viewed Fox News. And the higher that value registered, the more likely respondents were to agree with the anti-democratic statements. ADAD(Bartels found “no consistent difference” in the relationship between ethnic antagonism and agreement with the anti-democratic statements depending on the respondents’ views of Fox News.) Again, agreement with the anti-democratic statements was not entirely dependent on this sort of antagonism; those views of race and immigration were predictive of support.
