No! Perhaps that’s what you’re not seeing. Not in their minds it is not! Loyalty is important to the right-wing authoritarian psychology in a way that it is not to you and I. Not to say that it isn’t important, but it’s not so important that we’re willing to ignore everything we know for the sake of loyalty. They are going to answer every question on the basis of, “What answer reflects best on my side?” And I think that on a freaky but real level of their mind they will totally believe it.
You seem ultra-focused on “these people will always vote conservative.”
That has absolutely nothing to do with my original question or my point.
The conservative mindset says “support the group no matter how unlikable the representative.”
That doesn’t automatically lead to “oh, Poilievre? That likeable guy?”
This possibly suggests the poll was badly framed to trigger a “likeable is the most loyal reply “ response, but it doesn’t guarantee it. I want actual information. Because if that’s all it is, the question framing was flawed. If it isn’t… something else is going on.
Yeah; but voting for the party and considering Poilievre a likeable person are two VERY different things.
